SEN. Hillary Rodham Clinton has lost the air of inevitability that once surrounded her campaign for the Democratic nomination. It remains to be seen whether she's willing to lose her soul in her quest for the presidency.
Only a month ago, her main rival, Sen. Barack Obama, was dismissed as a "lightweight" by the political establishment. Now he has a slight lead over Senator Clinton in Iowa and New Hampshire and is believed to have a good chance of winning South Carolina.
Magic Johnson's recent endorsement aside, the advantage Senator Clinton once enjoyed over Senator Obama among African-Americans has disappeared. He's even cut into her support from women.
The Clinton campaign has reacted to this change in fortune by going into what can only be described as panic mode. Using political surrogates, campaign apparatchiks, and an increasingly indignant former president, the senator's nomination drive has engaged in a level of innuendo remarkable in its sleaziness.
Days after the firing of a campaign worker who passed along e-mail suggesting Senator Obama was a Manchurian candidate, Billy Shaheen, the co-chair of the Clinton New Hampshire campaign, said Senator Obama would be vulnerable to Republican attack because of his admitted drug use as a teenager. Mr. Shaheen resigned and Senator Clinton apologized.
Shortly after that, former President Bill Clinton questioned Senator Obama's credentials to be president after praising his "tremendous political skills. " In that vein, former Sen. Bob Kerry of Nebraska cited Senator Obama's "Islamic" name and background in Indonesia as a valuable asset to the United States.
It was a disingenuous and back-handed compliment, for which Senator Kerry has apologized. But it wasn't as tacky as the comment by former United Nations ambassador Andrew Young, who told a predominantly black audience that Bill Clinton was "blacker" than Senator Obama and that...

Maybe she'll bring up the fact that he's half-white, as well. That should doom his candidacy.
Most likely not. Remember that Obama has SS protection. Very unusual for a primary contest, but now we know why. The SS thought he needed it, and they should know. :-)
Too late. She lost that soul decades when she became a Bill enabler in exchange for power.
Has Young ever apologized for creating Mugabe’s “Wonderland”???
Hillary just feels in a panic because she’s being
overshadowed by the Birth of Christ.
It’s all those demons in her...
She’s feeling her skin crawl!!
A moment of silence in memory of John Kennedy, Jr.
Hillary just had to have the New York Senate seat...
God Rest his soul.
The answer involves the use of the New Math.
“Obama is STILL a lightweight. Now it is obvious that Hillary has no substance.”
It’s funny but if you think about it, could it be that Hillary is lighter than Obama? (in terms of politics of course/sarc).
I don't think she has one left to sell.
Vince Foster???
She has a soul??
These reporter types are only just now catching onto the Clintonista Modus Operandi of the Politics of Personal Destruction?!
That is toooo funny!!!
Also in terms of intellect. She is dumber than a box of rocks.
I wanted Clinton, Inc. to implode AFTER she was nominated!
I believe that is no longer possible.
Hmmm....
And now it's time to pay up...
