Another Bleak Wednesday for Clinton
WashingtonPost ^ | 2/20/2008 | Dan Balz

It is another bleak Wednesday for Hillary Clinton's campaign, the second in as many weeks in which she has awakened to the aftermath of what President Bush would call a thumpin'.

Was she expected to lose Wisconsin? Probably. Was she expected to lose it by 17 percentage points? Never. On top of that came another drubbing in a caucus state, this time in Hawaii, where Obama had lived as a child. The margin there was 51 points.

Whatever the Clinton campaign thought would work has not worked. The carefully crafted phrases -- Obama is about promises, Clinton is about solutions -- fell flat in the Badger state. The negative ads about whether Obama was ducking debates did not work either.

Maybe it’s time to cry again. Worked last time.

I’m loving it too!
(I voted for Obama yesterday just to see her lose.)

From the article: “This strategist continued: “Second, in terms of presentation, they should never let her stand behind a podium and give a speech ever again. It’s just not her thing, and she’s getting KILLED in the comparison to Obama. Put her back around a table, listening and chatting. She’s likable, smart, and engaging in a small setting.”

Yeah, that’ll change things! LOL!

I was looking forward to her $5000 checks for each kid.

Oh I am loving it...

Only Problem is that it leaves us with McCain vs. Obama.

Oh and that whole issue of Repubbies staying home and not voting... yea, on that I am concerned regardless of who the Dim’s nominate. But until then I am enjoying see Hitlery smacked so soundly.

“Is anyone else loving this as much as I am?”

I AM!!! It has been a pleasure to watch. I am eagerly awaiting the final, climatic “Breakdown” scene when she quits the race. There isn’t enough popcorn in the world for that scene!

The problem with the hillary campaign: “Obama only promises to raise your taxes. I will deliver.”

Someone else mention that Bill might actually give her concession speech for her. I think it was said in jest, but it may be a reality, as she will have lost it completely by then.

I wonder if Hillary is now wishing she had not made republicans her enemies. Seems that quite a few republicans are now crossing over to vote against her.

It would be fitting if TX, the reddest of the red states, put a final nail in her coffin.

Dude, I am waiting for a dramatic, operatic ending, like Bubba singing a mournful aria over the dying carcass of Hitlery, in front of their trailer in Arkansas!
