From all of us who work third shift and raise families.....Hillary can go get stuffed. That commercial with her declaration of nightshift toil just pissed off every shift worker in the plant where I work. These are not usually political people. She really did it with that one.
Good observation.
bttt
Is she going to go negative? Of course she will. That much is a given.
The question is; Will it work?
And that is a big question, because part and parcel to the Clinton’s reputation for beating the rap and coming out ahead has always been the Lamestream Media’s willingness to carry their water, hide their skeletons and basically ignore or downplay anything that would put the leftist Clintons at a disadvantage.
But ultimately that was the media’s own leftist bias working towards the detriment of the nation’s conservative establishment, and had little to do with any actual love of the Clintons themselves.
Obama changes the equation. He’s just as leftist as she is. He’s popular, and compared to Hillary he’s as pure as Ivory soap.
The media can stay true to their leftist creed and dis Hillary to their heart’s content — precisely the way Michael Grunwald did in his Time Magazine column today “Clinton’s Spin Machine: Spun Dry”, see DFU’s thread at http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1973770/posts?page=22#22
If this marks the media’s new position vis-a-vis the Clintons, Hillary is not going to be able to count on their protection anymore, and may find her negative attacks backfiring seriously.
I still don’t count her out, though. FBI files or no FBI files, I am sure she has a lot of dirt on a lot of big names in the Democrat party establishment and will use everything she has to keep them in line.
Like Doug said. She’ll burn the oil wells if she has to. If she goes down, she won’t go down alone.
