Seven Phases of Project Elect Hillary:

Phase 1: Uncritical acceptance.

Phase 2: Wild enthusiasm.

Phase 3: Dejected disillusionment.

Phase 4: Total confusion.

Phase 5: Search for the guilty.

Phase 6: Punishment of the innocent.

Phase 7: Promotion of nonparticipants.

I’d say they are squarely in Phase 6. (There may not be a Phase 7).

“We can’t nominate a candidate who can’t withstand the withering attacks of the Republicans.”

LOL. He has so far withstood the withering attacks from Camp Hillary.

I believe your analysis is correct.

If Obama wins the general election, the Clintons will have to wait until 2016 for their next shot.

Therefore, they have a driving interest in making sure that Obama loses the general election and by enough of a margin to end his presidential aspirations for good.

I love it when they start meddling and blaming.

Imagine the next major meeting when both Penn and Ickes are present...

That’s OK. Penn will survive to tell others just how to do it in the future. A miserably failed Dukakis campaign did wonders for Susan Estrich’s career. She’s everywhere.

Ickes has always been a Hillary sycophant, brown nosing so fiercely that even those new to her circle are impressed with his remora-like suction grip. Some wits think of him as Hillary’s ‘familiar.’

Hillary will be 68 in 2016.

She looks younger now than she did in 2000, but she cannot play the Joan Rivers trick for another decade.

And who is Harold Ickies?

“The report said evidence and testimony uncovered by the committee contradicted Mr. Ickes’s statements that he had been unaware of some White House efforts to intervene on behalf of the Teamsters in a labor dispute with a California company. At the same time, Democrats were trying to enlist the union’s support for the re-election campaign.

The committee concluded in a widely publicized report issued in March that Mr. Ickes himself had asked Administration officials to help settle the dispute.”

He was also the guy behind the sleep overs and “No controoling legal authority” calls. He should be in jail.

Harold Ickes — Just one of the many disgusting people that Hillary would bring back to American government! Haven’t we all seen more than enough of those folks? I don’t think America could survive another 4 years of Ickes, Albright, Cohen, Reno, Berger, Davis, Podesta, Begala, and all the former Clintoon people, back in our faces again! At some point in the future, historians will decry the impact those villians had on our country. Everything that can be done now to end the candidacy of Hillary Clintoon should be done!

Mark Penn is a total tool.

It is a poor workman who blames his tools.

There’s also the chance that Obama wins reelection in 2012 which means there’d be a sitting VP in the drivers seat. 2020 is too late IMHO so Obama losing to McCain will be their last chance to get back in the WH. I think it’ll be interesting to see how the Clintons handle themselves. To that end it is in her interests to stay in this thing as long as possible and to damage Obama to the extent they can.

I don’t care who the Chief Stratagist is, you can only do so much with what you’ve got and he never had much to work with to begin with.

Trying to make silk out of a sow's rear, uh... I mean, ear.

Now that the campaign is failing/has failed, it’s all the man’s fault.
