The wheels are coming off the bus, and it’s hurtling over the cliff.

Even Bubba and Chelsea can't save her now.

I believe that Obama is actually a weaker candidate for the Democrats than Hillary would be.

What I find amusing is that if it turns out to be Obama and he loses badly to whoever the Republican will be, then the blame can be traced back to Kerry.

Because back during the last election the media was closing in on Kerry about the lack of black people involved in his would be administration and he quickly pointed a finger to Obama and said he is the future for blacks (while Kerry was saying he wanted to be the second black president after Clinton lol).

Since then Obama has had presidential buzz that he has skillfully (to his credit) navigated to where he is today.

It is funny and ironic that Kerry finally did himself in for good while crapping on our troops (yet again) and at the same time had laid the foundation for the next Democrat defeat for president.

Does anything good ever come out of Massachusetts?

And while they decided to increase the pressure on Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) here, campaign officials were debating how hard to hit him on his experience level in the few short days until the New Hampshire primary.

Comment:

How hard to hit Obama...sounds like Mafioso speak....

Osama Obama better hire a food taster, put on extra body guards for his family, bullet proof his limo, stay out of moon-roofs, buy a bomb sniffing dog and order several Kevalar suits.

The Clinton's don’t take kindly to losing...anything.... least a nomination or election they feel they can steal.

Osama Obama is a fixin to find out just what an Arkancide Jihad feels like from up close and personal.

...accept responsibility for the loss, saying, "'I've been knocked on my rear end. It's not fun, but the view from the canvas can be instructional.'"

Would Hillary say something like that? It sounds more like W, who for some reasons seems to like taking blame whether it's justified or not.

After an unexpectedly thorough defeat in Iowa, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton faced a barrage of second-guessing Friday from supporters worried that her campaign strategy could cost her the Democratic nomination them their gravy train.

There, fixed it.

Camp Clinton is about to get medieval on Obama’s ass.

Watch for some major drug use/sales scandal.

In a flurry of conference calls throughout the day, described by several participants, anxious Clinton advisers agreed to stick to her original message -- that only the former first lady has the experience to bring about change.

IMO, there is not a whole lot of difference in experience between Hillary and Obama. They are Senators. The first lady does not have the gravitas associated with experience. There is a difference between actually being first violin and sitting in the audience. Just because Hillary had a great view and access to the President during Bill's eight years, I do not see the connection between her eye witness to history and experience making Presidential decisions; maybe input to decisions. She is not doing very well now that she is in the pilot's seat, except maybe instilling doubts in the hearts of voters. The focus group approach is not working in this situation; there is no consistency and no confidence.

Having read the WaPo article and then taken a shower, it appears to me Senator Clinton is in denial and refuses to acknowledge the reason for her poor showing in Iowa.

Her, "I'm the one with years of experience" and, "I'm the one that can implement change" mantras apparently fell on pretty much deaf ears.

From the article:

The message to the lawmakers [on a conference call Friday morning] was that the campaign will tweak the message to focus on equal parts experience and how to effect change. "It requires experience to bring change," Howard Wolfson, Clinton's top communications adviser, told the lawmakers, according to one participant in the call.

Pardon me, but isn't that the same mantra they used in Iowa? Seems to me the thing that should be changing is Senator Clinton's strategy.

Can any of her supporters recognize that rather than the thoroughbred they thought she was, she is, in fact, an old nag headed for the glue factory? I guess they might be reluctant to admit that to the lamestream media.

Ah, Strategy! That’s the problem. Never thought of that. I just suspected that it was because she was a lying, socialist, bi**h.

Looks like the Barbara Streisand hoopla didn’t pan out for Hillary. Maybe Hillary should bring on Rosie to the podium.

While savoring the Hillary debacle- I’ve thought about her alternative.

Here’s what’s worrying me- we don’t have an Obama. It’s too early to know if this is a trend- but consider that in Iowa 10’s of thousands of NEW voters registered and caucused- for OBAMA. They are young, they are passionate and they are idealistic. IF that catches on- if young people really do start becoming active- who are they going for? What they perceive as a party of war-mongering, greedy, Bible-thumpers? Or the hope-filled, young, articulate, black guy?

Huckabee may be the least of our worries.

Seems like all election "analysis" starts with an assumption: "Candidate x is losing because s/he is doing something wrong." The corollary is that if candidate x did everything right, s/he would be winning.

I believe that's wrong. Some candidates just aren't marketable. Hillary may be one of those people who, the more voters see of her, the less they like her. You can be handed a NY Senate seat by hiding the candidate but not the Presidency. For some, there's no winning strategy.

The problem isn’t strategy, it’s the candidate. If her name were Hillary Smith, she’d have never even entered the race.

No why in the world would her supports question anything this woman does? After all, Bill says she is a “world class” genius.

This world class genius who didn’t know that Pakistan’s president is not up for re-election this year, and did not know that Bhutto’s father was executed (not assinated), and who though that Bhutto had only two children instead of three....oh, yeah...a world class genius.
