DEM OPERATIVE EYES HILLARY STATE FOR MCCAIN

ST. PAUL - Hillary Clinton and her roommate, the former president, make a pit stop next month in Penn sylvania. An important state for a candidate to win, this was Hillary territory. She took Scranton like Grant took Richmond. Hillary heads there again the second week of October for the Methodist equivalent of a christening. The baby is Simon Rodham. The daddy, her brother Tony Rodham. The Clintons will houseguest with friends. Mr. and Mrs. Jamie Brazil. Former president of her brother's company, Jamie has a big smile, big house, big wristwatch, beautiful blond wife with big jewelry and biiiig wallet.

Also a big Democratic outreach. His current occupation is political consultant.

I learned this from Jamie himself. And where were we when he told me all this? Deep in McCain McCountry listening to Sarah Palin. Sandwiched together in one of McCain's VIP skyboxes. The one next to us belonged to the senator's campaign manager Rick Davis. Ours belonged to the candidate's adviser Carly Fiorina. Jamie and I were a Coke bottle away from Henry Kissinger. We're talking folks who've been Republican since their first trimester.

So what's a Dem operative doing there?

"We're going to take Pennsylvania for McCain," Jamie said. "We'll win by 3 percent. We'll get Hillary supporters. The undecideds. From the coal region. Blue dog areas like Lackawanna, where it's 2-1 Democratic. We'll break into that."

I suddenly realized this McCain skybox was filled with Democratic types. Like closeted gays, one whispered: "Don't mention our names. We're not 'out' yet."

I guess this is their answer to the real thing, Sarah Palin.

Of all people, Hillary’s brother? LOL

If McCain takes PA (and I’m still skeptical, because of the Philly machine), it’s just about equal to a stake through the heart for Obama.

Last report Hillary was on her way to Florida to help out the Messiah who is dropping like a rock on the polls. I wonder, will she instead campaign for McCain?

“beautiful blond wife” and Bubba in the same house? Oh dear.

Wanna bet she'll have to cancel her trip because of the hurricane? (wink wink)

How reliable is this Cindy Adams? If this is true, it will be McCain-Palin in a landslide.

[HamiltonJay]

I am not skeptical in the least, I have lived in PA now for over 20 years, I said months ago this state was his.

Palin just makes it that much more of a certanity, McCain will take PA.

McCain wrapped up PA beyond any question with is speech last night.

[Antoninus]

Word is already out on the street in PA to those with their ear to the ground. I'm betting Rendell is in on this too--he's a huge Hillary guy and has been publicly critical of Barry O of late. If Rendell decides that Barry loses PA, Barry loses PA. It's as simple as that. All he has to do is put the brakes on the fraud machine in Philadelphia and few Democrats will ever win statewide in PA.

And the final touch--#1 rated Philadelphia sports radio host Howard Eskin was out there boosting McCain on his show yesterday. He's an unreconstructed Democrat usually who has about as much love for Republicans as he does Cowboy fans.

If he's pumping for McCain, he got the order from someone higher up that Obama needs to have his legs cut out from under him. Eskin supporting McCain will give a lot of the blue-collar union guys in Philly the cover they need to vote McCain.

Rove is loaning out his Weather Machine to Hillary for that mission..

[HamiltonJay]

Hillary will do the token support for Fauxbama, but that’s it. She knows he’s a lost cause and she’s the 2012 frontrunner after this schlub and the Goebbelesque propoganda campaign the MSM has been running for him are left a smoldering carcass on the ash heap of history.

[trublu]

Wow. If McCain wins PA, he wins the election with over 300 electoral votes.

[cmsgop]

When it comes to gossip,Cindy’s pretty up there, so this is interesting news to say the least.

[mattdono]

“Hey, baby.”

[realcleanguy]

I was thinking she would stop off in DC to check on her in basket. And it would just so happen the Hurricane woul delay her more

[dead]

I can never make any freaking sense of the snarky, coded, old-lady, gibberish language Cindy writes in.

It doesn't matter what the hell she's saying anyway. McCain will pick up Pennsylvania, no matter what Hillary's brother's baby's dog does with Karly Jamie Kissinger in Simon Tony McCain's VIP skybox somewhere.

[HamiltonJay]

I’ve tried to tell people that don’t live in PA that Fauxbama never ever had a chance here. The Blue Dogs will reject him completely. McCain had this state won before the primaries were over.

Yes, I know the polls don’t show it, but trust me on this. McCain will win PA, I am not saying it will be a landslide victory, but he will win this state.

War Hero, straight talker, experienced, military man vs used car salesman with a pr campaign... not even a contest. McCain takes PA, not even up for debate.

Hillary will do the bare minimum for Obama, and her appearances will actually hurt him more than help.

Every time she appears, a lotta people in the crowd are gonna be wondering why she's not the VP.

Every campaign stop will make it more obvious that she was passed over.

People who actually turn out for Hillary are only gonna realize she got s##!wed.

Obama will eventually, and quietly, tell her not to campaign anymore because it's hurting his numbers.

[Kevmo]

Within 1 week, Obama’s campaign has gone from “historic” & compared to Lincoln, down to “pathetic” & compared to McGovern. All because of Sarah Palin on the #2 slot.
