HILL'S CAMP BLAMES BILL
NY Post ^ | December 22, 2007

SUPPORTERS of Sen. Hillary Clinton's presidential candidacy are privately blam ing aggressive campaigning by Bill Clin ton for her recent decline in Iowa's pre-caucus polls.

In their opinion, the former president's strong defense of his wife pushes the contest for the Democratic nomination toward what Hillary Clinton wanted to avoid: a referendum on the Clinton administration, making her a symbol of the past rather than an agent of change.

A footnote: Democrats close to Bill Clinton blame Mark Penn, Sen. Clinton's chief strategist, for her decline. They grumble that Penn, a pollster, relies too much on polls.

Oh, it’s Bill’s fault rather than the fact that she’s simply not electable.

People see Clinton as a risible sexual deviant.

I see him as a perjurer and a tyrant who manipulates his followers.

Which is why they see him only as a deviant.

In this case I think it's an Id and an Ego.

This is why two for one does not work. You can't have a multiple personality presidency.

"Nobody likes a cry baby."

She has claimed "victim" status too many times (VRWC, female glass ceiling, boys' club attacks, etc.)

This is where her decline is rooted, coupled with her track record as a Bitch.

Like anyone would even know her name if it weren’t for Bubba. She’s always been a tag along as she has no natural charisma and thus had to hitch her wagon to someone else’s star.

making her a symbol of the past rather than an agent of change.

"agent of change" = Socialist doublespeak for the Socialist agenda for change.

Anyone else ever notice that the media also considers itself an "agent of change?"

She could always divorce him and change her last name back to Rodham.
