"...advising her straight into defeat?..."
And that is bad becase.....?
A fish rots from the head down.
You just wait and see what's going to take her place.
She can't win a normal primary. She missed her chance last round - to come in at the 11th hour, rescuing the floundering party from defeat by her own high-profile arrival and sweeping up an impassioned electorate high on hype and desperate to replace a breakfast food candidate ... and pulling it off in just 30 days, before the hype waned and the skeletons started marching out of the closet.
She waited too long. Having been the nominee-in-waiting for years, she _had_ to announce early - way way way too early. The media's short attention span follows its usual path from fawning hype to hostile interrogator, a cycle which takes - and took - about 30 days. Unable to gloss over the negatives for long, she's toast.
That sounds stupid, but dang if it's not the truth.
Her numbers are best when the whitewash crew is out front selling it.
When she comes out of the tent, people realize they've been sold.
Aww SH*T....I'm sending Morris the cleaning bill for that. This shirt is NEW!
"There are no such things as contradictions. When you think you have found a contradiction, check your premises. One of them is wrong." -- Ayn Rand
Novac uses the word "coronation", Morris uses the more eloquent "imperial- incumbent- in- waiting", and BOTH are stopping just short of calling her the second Sheets Byrd....when the truth comes out in print like that, somebody's in trouble.
I love the Morris article dissing Hillary. But it also reeks of his own personal egotism over his own campaign prowess (and lack of a curent job).
Soon it will be Carville and Begala time. Snake and Forehead know how to take care of candidates like the upstart Obamarama. and watch for the MSM-embedded Clintanoids, Steffi et al., to begin to come to Hillary's rescue.
Some have stated in convincing fashion that it will be a Hillary/Obama ticket in one form or another.
However, to restate my case: Hill & the Harpy Squad are comprised of Mandy Grunwald & her clones: unhappy, vengeful, condescending martinets who are convinced that a large swath of the electorate will buy any brand of snake oil marked with a 'D' and believe any lie, no matter how outrageous. They have, of course, 8 years of a previous Clinton presidency as evidence. Since they usually demand and exercise total control, there are two wild cards that are making life difficult for them:
1) Competition. This time the rival is in plain sight and receiving truckloads of daily media coverage. Any dirty tricks will have to be carried out with pinpoint precision to avoid detection. The question occupying Team Hill: how do we play the race card and make it look like Obama is at fault?
2) The candidate. Let's ignore her surname, party, politics, title and record. Based on a partial first Senate term, what on earth would lead anyone to think that this person has leadership qualities? If you'd never been introduced and had to listen to a live speech wouldn't you take a permanent bathroom break at the first opportunity? What does it say about a candidate whose handlers won't permit ANY off-the-cuff comments? Edwards was rightly ridiculed for his visit-the-country-cousins DIY photo op but can you imagine the comedy potential of Hillary in a flannel shirt & dungarees planting tulip bulbs with Mabel in Nashua NH? The one thing Team Hill cannot overcome with money or press coverage is that the candidate does not appear to have an existence or interest outside of politics. The "I'm a mom" thing is largely a non-starter when one's only child is already an adult woman.
I'm not so sure.
I think Hill's in big trouble.
All the sleaze without the slick.
and Obama has the Oprah endorsement already, LOL
Their candidate?
The problem with Hillary's campaign is HILLARY. She's evil and it oozes from every pore of her body. She's not liked because of her arrogance, evil heart, pro-terrorist, socialist, anti-military ideology. Other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?
The libs and the press pollsters have forgotten how to poll impartially and it is biting their favored candidate. Sweet!
I noticed the same thing.....
