Although I thought Dick Morris’ theory that Bubba was intentionally alienating blacks so they would vote in mass for Obama in SC and thus he could be painted as the “Black Candidate, was rubbish. Now I have a new respect for Morris because he appears to be right on.
I’d say using the word “respect” in reference to Dick Morris is a highly questionable idea. As to his political prognostications and such, it seems he’s been wrong more often than he’s been right. Somehow, that doesn’t keep him from collecting the big bucks for it, though.
That’s what I’ve been wondering. I believe Dick Morris said Bill was trying to rile Obama and his supporters so that Obama could be tarred as just another “angry black man” whom the blacks would vote for but the white and hispanic dems would recoil from.
Then, when Hillary won the nomination, the blacks would sigh and pull the lever for ‘massa as usual.
Recent events seem to indicate that this strategy has backfired. Obama has not taken the bait and white dems are not fooled. I think a post-SC poll showed that 56% of white dem voters were offended at Bill’s transparent antics.
The problem is that the MSM is no longer universally in the tank for Hillary.
I’ve been saying for years that the Clintons could only regain the Oval Office if the MSM carried their train in universal lockstep.
As her “aura of inevitability” wanes, liberals are daring to hope that they might rid themselves of the hag.
