It may be just a wee bit early to say that Hillary Clinton has blown her chance at the Democratic presidential nomination, but it’s not too late to address the exploding amazement of the political pundit class over the ineptness of her campaign. Rarely has a storyline been, in such equal parts, so dominant and fun to read.
How did the Clinton people manage to run such an embarrassingly bad campaign? Inquiring minds want to know.
But it’s really not that hard to figure out. In truth, they had nothing to work with – a problem that was only exacerbated by the fact that they were so thoroughly convinced of the opposite

Somehow I get the impression that the writer is not exactly a Hillary-fan..
The buck stops with Hillary and her small-mindedness and her ends-justify-the-means-when-there’s-something-I-want kind of attitude. She’s done it to herself. Schadenfreude—by the truckload.
Hillary is a VILE person and she is surrounded by OTHER VILE people.
Slowly, inexorably, like watching a train wreck in slow motion.
And it is as pleasing to the senses as melting chocolate in the mouth.
But...
The very best thing, is watching the avalanche of her destruction encompass and obliterate Bill as well. And why is it so pleasant to watch?
Because Bill's actions are like a jackass hauling nitroglycerin. His bucking and braying have exploded his mystical/mythical powers.
The Clinton Myth has been exposed. The putrid mendacity at its core has been laid bare.
It remains to be seen just how many will now pay top dollar to hear his egotistical rantings.
You can only put so much lipstick on a pig.
I think hillary’s campaign is quite normal for a democrat. The problem with hillary’s campaign is obvious - it’s hillary herself. In a word, she’s unlikable.
She entered the campaign too early and her screeching voice and whining have grated the entire American electorate, even democrats.
People can’t stand the thought of waking up every morning to the exorcist movie in the whitehouse.
The MYTH of the Clinton War Room remains, for the “war room” consisted of the MSM/Hollywood/Academia/DNC.
And that war room remains and is simply battling for Hussein now.
No difference, they are all members of the UnAmerican Democrat Party.
And have a monopoly of propaganda myth making.
She ran the USUAL kind of campaign. The kind of campaign that usually works in any election cycle. The difference is the Messianic cult following of Obama. You can’t anticipate it and therefore you can’t change your style of campaign to fight it. This time, the old rules don’t apply.
Hillary would have to be MORE charismatic than Obama to wage an effective campaign.
That really is an enjoyable read.
Dan Calabrese is obviously part of the damn right wing conspiracy, just like me.
Ruh Roh. Sen. McCain better get out there and disavow these comments.
“The Clinton Myth has been exposed. The putrid mendacity at its core has been laid bare.

Schadenfraud! You and I think alike.
The book deals will dry up as well if they haven’t already.
Sooooooo true!!!
Exactly... and to top it off she, Bubba, and her campaign staff are STILL in denial...
Even if she manages to steal the primary from Obama, she will win nothing because ALL of the Obama supporters will jump ship.
good post N. TheKnow
Frankly, I would have preferred to see her not go down in flames until the Nov election. If Obama had to bow out first, Mrs Clinton would be the much more “beatable” candidate than he in the general election.
Both of them are bad news for this country...it just depends on the most efficient order of knocking them out.

“It will be me” Hellary
LOL
All true. But the damage to come from an Obama presidency may be fatal to the country.
The concentration on large states was wrong. If the large state splits its delegates, where is the net gain?
Only fitting that a place like Puerto Rico or Vermont should be in a position to determine her fate.
I agree with you. I am not at all sure the country can survive a Clinton, an Obama, OR a McCain presidency-but of the three, I think an Obama regime would be worst. Not only was HRC the more beatable candidate, I believe she would have been (if only marginally) less dangerous for the country as president than BHO.
Rarely has a storyline been, in such equal parts, so dominant and fun to read.
Exactly
They will now shove Obama down our throats
Back in 1992, it was nauseating for the rest of the legal community to read in the MSM that one of Hildy’s “steriling credentials” was that she had been selected one of the best 100 lawyers in America or whatever.
Basically, she was listed in one of those books where you either nominate yourself and pay $50 for the listing or whatever.
It was gross.
So she was a lawyer! What did she ever do at the Rose Law Firm of any merit! And didn’t she get THAT job because she was the Guvnor’s wife?
Anyway, from the beginning, she has been a fraud and a fraudster. Her comeuppance is well-deserved.
Many, many books will be written on the spectacular and fraudulent rise and fall of the ‘Toons, for now, because of Hildabeast, the Sinkmeister’s ridiculousness also has been exposed. So, in that sense at least, the ‘Toons will finally be good for something-—the economy and academics and punditry.
How can such a big-ended woman be such a small-minded witch?
Great column. I’ve always laughed at the people who said she was smart.
In truth, they had nothing to work with – a problem that was only exacerbated by the fact that they were so thoroughly convinced of the opposite.
I think we all got the message when Russert asked her to comment on the immigration policies of Gov. Spitzer several months ago. That was the beginning of the end for Her Heinous. She's no deep thinker.
Empty pantsuit ALERT!
Run Hillaryous Run!
For me, the fascinating part is how the mainstream Rats are acting like the lightbulb over their head is going off-—saying, WOW, NOW I get what the Republicans were complaining about all those years!
Somehow, I get the impression that none of us are, but until she says she's finished in this race, it's not over by any stretch of the imagination.
Rush hopes Hillary stays alive to split the Dem Party, and I will hope for that...BUT if Hillary becomes officallly dead in the campaign, I will be on the drinking thread (which I’ll start if someone else doesn’t) celebrating the end of the Clinton Era.
Absolutely.
The Clear and Present Danger of Hillary is almost destroyed. When it is, the light of exposure will most definitely need to be retrained on Obama.
In a discussion the other night, my answer to whether the country would elect the first black to the Presidency:
"If the country elects Obama as its first black President, I fear that it will also have elected it's last President."
BTTT
We survived Jimmy Carter, whose raging hatred for the country continues to this day. And Good Things happened after he was timed out. We remember wood fires, sweaters, and gas rationing lines, the "Misery Index", the humiliation in the Desert, and double-digit inflation.
We survived Pearl Harbor and 9-11, so we can survive another emotional moron.
It seems we have to have one every generation-Like taking Worm Medicine.
Its not over till the Hillary sings! Now someone tell her she lost. LOL
Truth is the guy beating her is just as bad. A legend in his own mind. Neither of these two are worthy of the presidency, John McCain just barely is. He should be able to beat Obama but he has a way of alienating the very people he needs. He might just blow it.
Thanks for the attribution.
Kinda reminds me of The Mule in Asimov's Foundation Trilogy
Obviously manifests the senior management and leadership tendencies.
Actually, some may find it quite handy to have someone to blame the “run away inflation” on.
LOL!!!
Rush hopes Hillary stays alive to split the Dem Party
Someone should send Rush this Calabrese piece for his stack of stuff.
Yes...and couple that with the obvious aging that she's done over the past few months, showing she's not up to the task.
She's not even her party's nominee, yet she's more ground up than a President approaching the end of his second term.
The curious thing about the Witch, as opposed to Obama, is that the Clintons’ total corruption and opportunism would actually make them less dangerous in the WH than Obama. Their defects are actually virtues, compared to him, because they’d be wiling to make reasonable compromises to keep the economy and country going, while Obama and his evil wife are likely to engage in an orgy of anti-American destruction and Mugabeite “change” for the pure fun of it.
