Clinton: Obama "perpetuating falsehoods"

Please not the number of times "shrieking" is used. The number of references to her being desperate and shrill. The notion that her doing what every losing candidate in the history of American politics has done is, in her case, descirbed as uniquely Machiavellian, and the many, many references to her as being like Karl Rove, even though they're not in the same politicial phylum. (See tonight's 60 Minutes piece about the railroading of Don Siegelman for details). It's not about tough politics. It's about tough politics coming from a woman.
Meanwhile, let's all stop worrying about her and keep our eyes on the ball -- which is six or eight months of the ASSOCIATED FREAKING PRESS recycling this kind of bullshit.

And wouldn't you, if the stakes were high enough?

 

Again, this myth of the Clintons as soulless Machivellian automatons is right off the RNC mimeograph.

 

Its fun watching the Charlie Rangel's and John Lewis's backtrack upon the realization that their support of Hillary puts them out of touch with their constituency.

 

Yeah, I'm sure they'll pay a vast political price for it, too.
Isn't that what we in the reality-based community call "supporting the nominee"? And isn't it what most people here want HRC to do, like, tomorrow?
Jesus, Boom.

 

I'd imagine that'll grow tired pretty quick. McCain can score a few points on that stuff, but not all that many unless Obama develops a real case of foot-in-mouth-itis. And if the GOP is going to use "McGovern wing of the party" as a talking point, well, I think it'll play right into Obama's hands of talking about the future instead of having the same arguments we've been having for 40 years. McGovern's only a boogeyman to conservatives over 60. Maybe half the electorate wasn't even born when he ran.

 

Yeah, because "Al Gore is a liar" and "John Kerry made up his service" got old in a hurry.

 

Well, one would hope Obama learns from their mistakes. He seems like a smart guy, and a better politician.

 

Hey, 1000 posts. Woo-hoo.

 

If she loses Ohio and/or Texas she'll stay in the race, not mention the losses in her campaign speech that night, not congratulate Obama on the wins in the speech, and continue to march on, hoping that she can get enough pledged delegates to switch their vote and vote for her and get the superdelegates to vote for her, thus winning the nomination despite losing the primaries.
OR she'll pull a Joe Lieberman - lose the primaries then run in the general election as an independent.

 

Those scenarios . . . I would need to see, to believe.
