It Is Over [Kudlow says: Hillary! is done]
corner.nationalreview.com ^ | 2-20-8 | Larry Kudlow

Posted on 02/19/2008 10:29:59 PM PST by Petronski

Please allow me a dose of hardened market realism concerning Obama's landslide victory in Wisconsin. The race is over. Hillary is finished. The Clinton Restoration is over.

President Bill Clinton's political invincibility is over. Hillary's electability is over. Obama got to the far Left faster than she did. He out organized her in the precincts. He out fundraised her. He out speechified her. He out-hustled her. He out-dressed her. He out-presidentialed her. He outdid her and he outbid her for votes, one promised government check at a time.

A 15-point margin in Wisconsin is incredible. Wisconsin is a lot like Ohio except for the wacko ultra-Left Madison college population, which is even worse that Columbus's Ohio State. But there are so many campuses in Ohio that will go for Obama that it is no matter. Think faculty voters, grimly determined for a left-wing takeover of America " from the bottom up" to use the former Saul Alinsky community organizer's phrase. As goes Wisconsin, so goes Ohio.

The inestimable Lawrence Kudlow writes the obituary for Hillary! on NRO.

Pinglists please.

I see two scenarios: Obama love spun by the media sweeps him into office, and McCain's hammering gets Obama to reveal he's got zero substance and a commie heart.

I fear the first is the one which will prove true.

While the thought of an Obama Presidency repulses me. The thought of Hillary winning anything, even the primaries, makes me wretch.

The question is only this....

Does Clinton Inc. have some really dirty dirt on Obama ....

...and this....

...do they have the guts to use it IF they do?

Not time to count any chickens yet. But maybe very soon.

I think as an empty suit obama will actually be over cautious and will not do anything major.

The most evil alternative must be eliminated first. Then, we focus on Obama the Lightweight.

If Hillary loses Ohio, even if she wins Texas, she is done. I’m not counting her out just yet.

Tasty stuff is right, and I love reading it.

However, to paraphrase Rush...I won’t believe she’s been defeated until a house drops on her, and her feet roll up.

Too, if this all turns out to be true, we are left with another Marxist, one who is potentially more dangerous.

I have heard that, early on, the DNC may have floated (no pun intended) Obama as a foil to make Hillary appear more moderate, and that this strategy backfired. If true, that’s funny.

Did you hear his speech tonight? It was not the speech of a cautious man. It was the speech of a revolutionary.

Conservatives are foolish to underestimate the danger of an Obama presidency.

This is Hillary. Guts? She’s the closest thing to a viper without the scales. Honestly, I think she would do anything at all if she could get away with it. Most likely, though, is she’ll self destruct in a very self-serving and quite hilarious way.

People I trust say that Obama will be harder to beat than Hillary! would have been.

Maybe I should be able to hold out for delayed gratification—but I just couldn’t be anything but thrilled to see Hillary! crashing and burning in the primaries—even if there’s a greater danger that Obama can beat McCain.

My gut feeling to those questions is “yes and YES”.

And we will be seeing it pretty soon.

If I had to guess it will probably be a picture of a younger Obama in Muslim skullcap at a Mosque in Indonesia. Nasty stuff, and they will have to make sure their fingerprints aren’t detected, but the Muslim card is about the only one they haven’t played yet.

No kidding?

If that’s true, then ROTFLOL at them! ;o)

It might explain one reason why she’s so unprepared in post Super Tuesday competitions.

How will the Klintons die? Will there be a mushroom cloud? Or a mass epidemic of rat job loss?

I wasn’t sure, over the years, that we’d kill her, but once Texas does, (and Ohio) it’s time for celebration fireworks!

I’m so happy.

While you may be right, I think it's hard to imagine anyone more dangerous than Hillary.

Too soon to count the chickens.

Not too soon to watch them line up in fives.

He is a Che Guevara-like freakazoid. We should all be scared. But I still can’t help but be happy that the wretched hilla-beast is toast.
