Clinton: Obama "perpetuating falsehoods"

She looks like she's running behind.
Anybody who doesn't think the fact that she's got ovaries isn't behind an awful lot of the mock-horror at her "unprecedentedly tough" campaign is fooling themselves. I saw some idiot woman on Hardball last night talking about how "negative" this campaign has been. I lived through the NCPAC shows of the late 1970's, and through what the Reagan people did to Carter behind the scenes, and what the Carter people did back, and through Lee Atwater vs. Dukakis, and through GHWB trying to get Mi5 to probe Bill Clinton's time at Oxford, and the ransacking of his passport files, and the Arkansas Project and the ongoing war against his administration, and the making-shit-up-about-Gore campaign, and Swift Boats and, hell, almost every Massachusetts gubernatorial campaign of my lifetime. This primary season has been the Good Ship Lollipop by comparison to those, and by comparison to what's coming.

 

So, Fen, do you take that to mean we really aren't ready for a female president? I tend to think it's got more to do with her personality than her vagina. I know the analogy falls apart in several places, but maybe she's more the Jesse Jackson of female candidates.

 

I wouldn't say unstable. I'd say Hail Mary.

 

If that was a Hail Mary, it landed in the 18th row of the bleachers.

 

Yes. She's braced him, face to face, noting she admired his political acumen and his ability to get results.

 

"Shame on you Barack Obama!"

She's really shrieking that line all over the news tonight. She really wants absolutely zero votes from men and apparently doesn't seem to mind scaring off any women who are still supporting her.

She's going out not with a bang but a whine.

 

It occurs to me that Barack Obama went from "not tough enough to take on the GOP with their Rovian tactics" to the perpetrator of Rovian tactics awfully quickly.

Quick learner, he.

 

I'm with you, Zeke. I love how the Clintons play the race card in South Carolina, and yet Obama's the one who's using Karl Rove tactics? Yeah, that makes sense.

 

I love how people rail against NAFTA without realizing it was Bill Clinton who oversaw its signing. So I guess you could say he screwed over his own union faithful?

As for Hillary, it looks like she's getting desperate. Imagine if she loses either Ohio, Texas or both. Hooooweeeee, will that be an ugly post-mortem.

 

This is becoming painful. This isn't "politics as usual"; it's sheer stridency, stemming from desperation.

 

Bill signing NAFTA is one of the reasons why I see little difference in the two parties, economically-speaking. I've seen little personal benefit from NAFTA.

I'm also getting the sense that Hillary is getting desperate. It seems she's a little late in complaining about the mailings.
