Hillary's Secret '08 Election Strategy Revealed!
Tom Bevan
Thu Jul 13, 10:28 AM ET
The only interesting part of Lois Romano's frontpage rehash of voters' doubt about Hillary Clinton in this morning's Washington Post comes at the very end:
"She will define herself, and we will have the money to do it," said one close adviser, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because Clinton has forbidden those close to her to speculate publicly about 2008. "People have to get to know her, know that she was once a Republican, that she's a big Methodist. . . . That will happen."
With quotes like that it's no wonder Hillary has forbidden her people from discussing 2008. This is idiotic on two levels. First, despite the obvious hubris of the Clinton crowd, Hillary still has to win the Democratic primary. Last time I checked, she wasn't particularly well liked by the folks who do the nominating, so letting that crowd know that Hillary's general election strategy is to promote her credentials as a former Republican and "big Methodist" is hardly going to help her.
On the other hand, the idea that centrists and independents are somehow going to be swayed by the claim that Hillary was "once a Republican" is laughable. You mean for a few precious pre-pubescent years in Park Ridge in the 1950's? Right before she went off to Wellsey, Yale Law, campaigned for McGovern, worked to impeach Richard Nixon, and married Bill Clinton? I know advertising is powerful, but it ain't that powerful - I don't care how much money she has.

So that's what a "Big Methodist" looks like.

Ah yes, all those embarassing historical details about her life with socialist power-mad collectivists.

Well, that is what the criminal Marxist Medusa is. Zero sense of anything but self and power. The life agenda of the Clintons. But we have to give them one credit -- they did prove that crime in Washington can pay -- it did for them.

Kerry and Murtha were once in the military. Look how they turned out.

Hellary WILL NEVER BE ELECTED PRESIDENT

I was thinking the SAME thing.... it seems she has gone to extremes to ensure her thesis is not released.

To: Izzy Dunne
It is very important for the voters to trust you. To be trusted you have to be yourself. You must be genuine.
The problem for Hillary is when she is herself no one likes her. And when she is not herself no one trusts her.
To: Libloather
My strategy is to see that she loses.
To: digger48
she is the Anti-Christ itself.I just figure that she and billyblythe sold their souls to the devil...but you may be right.

Then, there must be millions of people in New York who don't like her and who distrust her, but still elected her senator.

People have to get to know her
I don't want to get to know the commie witch. I already know more than I want......wish I didn't. What I want is for her and Slick to both disappear into a puff of smoke.

I understand it has been hidden by the college library.

"She will define herself, and we will have the money to do it," translation: We're going to need a lot of cash, because the whoppers we're going to tell will have to be told over and over again, so the MSM can and will carry her liberal message
