Hillary endorses McCain over Obama?
Hot Air ^ | March 03, 2008 | by Ed Morrissey

OK, folks — now it’s really on. The Hillary Clinton team apparently believes that the experience issue will prove a winner for her, so typically, she’s overplaying it. On her way out of Toledo to Texas, she dropped this nugget on the press:

But before leaving, to insert herself into the day’s news coverage, she held a quick media availability at the Hilton and provided this unusually concise capsule comment for reporters, including The Times’ Louise Roug:

“I think that I have a lifetime of experience that I will bring to the White House. Sen. John McCain has a lifetime of experience that he’d bring to the White House. And Sen. Obama has a speech he gave in 2002.”

Did I read this correctly? Did Hillary just endorse John McCain for the presidency over Barack Obama? How else would anyone understand this comment?

I guess we have our answer about whether Hillary will withdraw after tomorrow if she can’t win Ohio and Texas. It sounds like she’ll stay in through the convention, and possibly do a Coulter and campaign for the opposition if she doesn’t get her way.

Note to the new boss: Can I get the Bill Clinton beat when they start campaigning for McCain?

A lot of Hillary supporters are already leaning in this direction, given the kind of campaign Obama and his surrogates have run. In the fight against Obama, I welcome any assistance we can get. McCain’s already popular with independents, why not moderate dems alienated by the “If you don’t vote for Obama, the only possible explanation is you’re racist” aka the Bradley effect.

“Maybe Hildebeast wants to be McShamnesty’s VP.”

Do you think? It could be the other way around or an arrangement between the two.

It’s just the old contender Hillary saying she’d rather have a title match with the older contender McCain for the heavyweight crown than some young upstart punching above his experience.

well Obama endorsed Reagan over Clinton, right?

I don’t want to present myself as some sort of singular figure. I think part of what’s different are the times...I think Ronald Reagan changed the trajectory of America in a way that Richard Nixon did not and in a way that Bill Clinton did not. He put us on a fundamentally different path because the country was ready for it. I think they felt like with all the excesses of the 1960s and 1970s and government had grown and grown but there wasn’t much sense of accountability in terms of how it was operating. I think people, he just tapped into what people were already feeling, which was we want clarity we want optimism, we want a return to that sense of dynamism and entrepreneurship that had been missing.

Should Hildabeast lose, of course she wants McCain to win.
So she can run again in four years!

Yes, but I imagine she's not playing up the fact that she was (supposedly) the last person to learn about Bill and Monica. If she really had no idea that Bill had been cheating on her, she's among the stupidest people to have ever walked the earth, and no amount of experience will do her one damn bit of good. If she really did know that Bill was banging the hired help, then she's a bald-faced liar and too patently dishonourable to be POTUS.
