Hillary is Close To Toast
By Dirty Harry on Hillary Scares Me
Polls:
Nationally, Obama is gaining. Hillary's 20 point lead has dwindled to nine.
Iowa, NH, and South Carolina are now all too close to call. Unbelievable.
Obama's got the momentum, Hillary's apologizing for her staffer's dirty tricks, and Bill Clinton looms over the entire affair ready, and no doubt eager, to take over.
An astonishing development, the story of which, whether she wins or loses, I can't wait to read. A total buckling under pressure. One stumble after another for weeks now compounding error after error thinking she's inevitable and that it's still 1992.
Oh, we're told by those supposedly in the know that Bill Clinton is her biggest ally. Wrong. His for the war before he was against it would've gotten a pass in the liberal media before the blogosphere rose, but no more. Rather than look like the ex-president we all liked while raising money for tsunami victims, he looks again like the partisan who was never able to muster more than 49% of the vote. 1992 indeed.
Bill Clinton is also dealing with a lot more than the loss of regaining the presidency. A loss among Democrats, of all people, would be devastating to his ego and further tarnish his precious legacy.

I'm Done With Huckabee
By Dirty Harry on Conservative Politics
After his attack on Romney's faith yesterday, I've had enough. Yes, he apologized, but there's something off about the guy that not only worries me about his electability, but also that he'll make all us right-wing Christians look bad.
His record with these pardons are a mess and he can try to keep his sermons away from the press for now, but pressure during the general election will be too great and based on what he had been willing to say on the record, I cringe at what he might've said during a less public sermon among fellow true-believers.
And I'm sorry, but I've been reading and listening in the week since it broke and have heard nothing which makes me feel better about his suggestion that AIDS sufferers be quarantined. In 1985 we were all thinking that. In 1992 that was an absurd and outrageous thing to say.
Nope. I'm done with Huck and should he win the nomination we're not only doomed come November but I'll be disappointed in the grass-roots of our party who would find this man's record at all acceptable. |
