You can damn well betcha on that (probably more than one ace). I still don't understand why Hillary hasn't put together the campaign structure that Bill had when he won - the "War Room", where you've got some of the most treacherous snakes in the country plotting every minute of your campaign, and a counter-attack to every attack that you sustain.
The fact that she isn't smart enough to mimic such a successful model tells me she's not really the world's smartest woman (or even a smart politician). As if I needed proof.
LOL!
I will have to partially disagree, Hardstarboard.
The first time around the “war room” only garnered 43% (Perot stole enough from GHWB to give the plurality to WJC). The second time around Clinton won with 49%. So the vaunted Stephanopolous/Carville attack/response team, though legendary in the press, does not rate so highly when viewed in this results oriented context.
Her cracker-jack response team did release Obama’s kindergarten ambitions. Now there is some thorough opposition research. But with no vision (being a quasi-incumbent) other than “re-election” she is running with the retreads from WJC’s administration.
The new blood went to Obama’s campaign, it seems. The was an interesting article here earlier about the “Club 100” dinner in New Hampshire. It was coreographed by Hillary’s staff, and everything went according to script - until the Obama supporters stole the floor, literally, and stole the show too.
She is using old-line Clintonian attacks (kindergarten statements, supposed drug sales, supposed Muslim allegiance) that do not work. So she is using the same model as her co-president did— it’s just that she is fighting the war of ‘92 and it’s ‘08.
But we agree she will play this out and possibly win as long as she has money and a glimmer of a chance at the gold ring.
“Im hoping it will end so badly she will retire from the Senate and quit the Charade all together.”
With the 100 mil or so she got from her suckers on the left.
Whose Carville working for? Bawnie Fwanks sister? I know the Toon can't get the Little Dick Morris.
yitbos
I'm wondering why Carville and Begals are on the outside looking in, though.
