All That's Left For Clinton Is A Graceful Exit
IBD ^ | February 21, 2008 | Lawence Kudlow

Posted on 02/21/2008 6:03:43 PM PST by Kaslin

Allow me a dose of hardened market realism concerning Barack Obama's landslide victory in Wisconsin: The race is over. Hillary Clinton is over. Her electability is over. Bill Clinton's political invincibility is over. The Clinton Restoration is over.

It's over.

Obama got to the far left faster than Hillary did. He out-organized her, out-fundraised her, out-speechified her, out-hustled her, out-dressed her and out-presidentialed her. He outbid Hillary for votes, one promised government check at a time. His 17-point margin of victory in Wisconsin was incredible. It says he can't be stopped.

Outside of the wacko ultra-left Madison college population, which is even worse than the Ohio State population, Wisconsin is a lot like Ohio. And Ohio campuses will go for Obama.

Think faculty voters, grimly determined for a left-wing takeover of America "from the bottom up," to use the Saul Alinsky community-organizer phrase. As goes Wisconsin, so goes Ohio.

Not even Hillary's last-minute bashing of business, free trade and free-market capitalism — which was a complete repudiation of her husband's presidency — could save her. Obama got there first, with a style and elegance that Hillary simply couldn't match.

And it came out of nowhere. On the eve of the Wisconsin primary, Hillary did a hard-left imitation of John Edwards' populist and demagogic soak-the-rich rhetoric. She trashed some of the greatest businesses in America — oil, credit-card, insurance and pharmaceutical firms; Wall Street and lending firms.

It all must have come as quite a shock to the alumni of the Bill Clinton White House who are working for her campaign.

“All That’s Left For Clinton Is A Graceful Exit”

Never. She’ll burn down the city of Denver if she has to.

As much as I hate Hillary and love seeing her lose, the Republican Party has no chance against Obama....at least with McCain as the Republican candidate.

When have they ever made a “Graceful Exit.”

“Graceful” is not a word that exists in the Clinton vocabulary

And most likely, the Clinton marriage is over.

I respectfully disagree. Obama and his wife preach a dangerous and scary game. There will be lots of time to expose these two for the radicals they truly are. They’re undeniably gifted but I don’t think the American electorate is completely of it’s rocker....yet!

I listen to the wife and say to myself why can’t certain spouses shut the hell up? Theresa did a lot to kill Kerry. Michelle will do the same for BHO.

The only graceful thing Hillary will do is slide that knife in Obama’s back when she is shaking his hand and smiling to his face.

The Republicans have no chance against a tuna fish sandwich with McCain as the Republican nominee.

The Clintons have never done anything gracefully or honorably. These are the people who stole furniture and silverware from the White House. Expect to see them go kicking and screaming all the way.

This one is tough to be sure about. I heard a statistic today that 95% of Obama supporters DO NOT like Hillary, and 95% of Hillary supporters DO NOT like Obama. How this would play out in the general election is up in the air right now. But it could be bad news for the RAT party if either side is so angry they sit it out.

That's why all Republicans in TX and OH must vote for Hillary. Only if she goes into Denver down less than 200 delegates will she be able to use dirty tricks to steal the nomination and destroy the party.

Hillary is a no class, low level thief. She and Bill stole everything from the White House including the letter W from the word processors. She has no class or morales, or feelings for others, and we will be well rid of the entire Clinton clan. And get a stake ready to pound through their hearts when they are buried.

Wait until you see 4 years of the "Black Clintons"--Barry and Michelle. I never thought I would see a couple surpass Hill and Bill in arrogance and angry bitterness. But there they are. Michelle is so filled with rage she makes Hillary look matronly by comparison. She will make the entire "white world" pay for the inferiority she feels because she got ahead by racial quotas. And unlike Bill, who knows no allegiance to any political philosophy other than "Bill Uber Alles", Barack is a committed socialist, devoted to "racial justice", "reproductive justice" and every loony left creed you could imagine. Plus, he is a Muslim, and would very likely "rediscover" his faith in office.

God help us all if he becomes president.

Obama is terribly naive. McCain can win if he just lets Obama show how naive he is.

She will be reminded conservatives were always against quotas for this reason specifically. I was the first. The first. To point out an Obama nod is a boon for conservatives. BRAGADOCIOUS ETCHELENTE

I have two thoughts regarding your title:

After a nuclear attack scientists say only 3 things can survive--a cockroach, Keith Richards and the Clintons.

The second thought comes from Yogi Berra--"It ain't over 'til it's over."

But I'm sure smiling wide right now.

Not at all. After the convention, they will lock arms, chain themselves to each other and present a united front against America. They always have. That is the source of their power: all what we're seeing is street theater.

I don't want either of the 3 left running to be president, but I'll be voting for McCain next November.

Voters should remember that Hill's brother, Hughie (golfing
with Bill), would also be moving back into the White House.

After the Clintons left, one WH steward when Hughie visited,
his sole occupation was ordering food from the WH kitchen.
