ASK ME IF I SCARE: Clinton is startled by the noise of her megaphone at a campaign appearance in Manchester, NH.
NASHUA, NH ......trailing by as much as 13 points, Clinton went on a rampage against Obama -- ripping him as all talk and no action and blasting his votes on everything from Iraq to ethics in a slash-and-burn effort to deny him a victory here. With her game face on, Clinton hit the warpath by saying the country needs a "doer, not a talker"..........

ADDED BONUS: Giuliani's been promoting himself as the "only candidate" that can beat Hillary. But when he had the change to show his stuff and beat her in the New York Senate race, Giuliani backed out. He always uses the "cancer" excuse when it has been shown he was not incapacitated by cancer---then or now---and was very active within days after claiming he was a cancer victim.
FReeper calcowgirl did the research; on Sept 2007 she posted her findings: Rudy claimed it was cancer, but was up and working almost immediately after quitting the race. To those playin' violins about his debilitating cancer and the chemo treatment, here are excerpts from news reports that tell the real story: Rudy had radioactive seed implantation on September 15 and was up on his feet in a day. There was no chemo. He missed a day or two of work and within a week he had marched in a parade, presided over a town hall-style meeting, gone on the stump for Lazio, and conducted daily press conferences, including one pushing a $1 Billion taxpayer subsidized stadium in Manhattan's West Side after holding meetings with both the Yankees and Jets owners that week. Back in May, 2000, when he dropped out a mere 11 days before the State Convention where he was to be nominated leaving the GOP high and dry (with no other choice but to recruit Lazio), the doctors said they thought campaigning was perfectly within his physical capabilities and, if he started treatment right way, he would have recovered and been "full speed" by the time the campaign normally kicked in. Instead, he delayed that procedure until September. IMO, Rudy dropped out because a) he knew he was going to get his arse whooped and b) he had a better $$$offer$$$.
I really think the Oprah factor cannot be underestimated. it tore at the very heart of Hillary’s base.
Besides Payola People or those fearful of Ft. Marcy Park,...what other base does she have?
Washington Post's Video: many people got bored and left at a Hillary's rally |

Posted by imchris On 01/07/2008 11:15:00 PM CST · 24 replies The Washington Post ^ | Akira Akuta The video is 3:43 minutes long. But starting at the 2:00 minute mark, you can see that the crowd was getting bored and many of them got up and left even as Hillary was still on stage talking. This video is depressing for Hillary and her supporters. It summed up "how well" her campaign is doing right now in New Hampshire. Here's a link to the Washington Post's video: http://www.washingtonpost.com |
The Clintonites are out IN FORCE today, trying to save the Queen...
The comments and attacks on Obama on the leftist blogosphere would be releasing a STORM of inner-city racial riots this morning, if they had been said by REPUBLICANS....
But the real ckue to how bad things have gotten is the Gays on Kos and DU saying that Hillary is the ONLY hope for “Gay Civil Rights” (whatever that means..)
This is the DEMOCRAT CIVIL WAR we have all long expected.
The Entrenched Democrat Establishment versus the “New Democrat” left.
Grab the popcorn, because the blood is JUST starting to flow....
I don’t want Hillary to go away. I want a drag out dogfight between the Dems.
Poor Hil
only 30% of DEMOCRATS will embrace her, LOL
You are Right. Always.
Prior to Pearl Harbor Truman was asked who we should support — Germany or the USSR. He replied that when it looked like Germany was winning we should send aid to the USSR, and when the Soviets began to win we should help the Germans. The point was to bleed both potential enemies dry so they could not become a threat to us. Perhaps this is the way we should see this primary election. In states with open primaries support Hillary when she is down but when she gains momentum independents and Republicans should vote for Obama. Also, in spreading information right now the focus should be on negative aspects of Obama - then Clinton - then Obama.
"Please vote for me - PLEEEEEEZE!!!"
Time to start crying I think.
The Centrist/DLC coalition and infrastructure was created in the mid-80s to get messaging past the Democrats Lost Vietnam mantra, and to offset the changing demographic of an increasingly Republican south.
But it has become an animal unto itself, AND IT MUST BE FED...
DC waterfront mansions and private jets cost MONEY, and that money has increasingly come by siphoning it from the government itself.
Thier are so many wonks feeding at the Party tit now that campaigning has become an INDUSTRY for the Democrats.
The New Left were convenient useful idiots after the Corporate lobbyists abandoned the Dems in the Early 90s, but now they want the RESULTS they have been promised for a decade, and the 60s radicals in charge have become CORPORATE DEMOCRATS.
Its the DEMOCRAT ESTABLISHMENT that needs Hillary, NOT the Party, and they wont go down without a fight.
Me?
Ill be munching popcorn while the war passes by on my plasma TV...
Wow---nice find---thanks.
>>>the women voters she’s appealing to (as her best chance to win office) do not seem to want to see her become president.
The most accurate (and tawdry) stories about the Clintons circa the 1992 election here in DC Metro were from women’s church and social groups.
Not tenth-hand hand innuendo, but typically from women whose husbands, brothers, and brothers-in-law had been working on some aspect of the Clinton campaign in some intimate capacity and often on a daily basis.
‘Nuff said.
Trust me----Giuliani will think of a reason to bail.
I always thought it was delusional to think she could win outside of a liberal enclave in the first place....but didn’t think it would come into ‘play’ til the General Election itself.
Guess Democrat voters are smarter than we give them credit for.
Wishful thinking, I believe. Rudy dropped out of the Senate race because he didn’t really want the job. He wants this one and will fight for it. He will have more delegates than anyone after Feb. 5 too. I am not a Rudy-ite, just stating the facts.
