Lanny Davis: McGovernesque Obama On Track to Lose 49 States
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 04/24/2008 10:35:14 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

When you're a Clintonite, you're a Clintonite all the way. From your first Monicagate defense, To Hil's last primary day.—with apologies to Leonard Bernstein

Look next to the definition of "Clinton loyalist" in the dictionary, and you're likely to find a photo of Lanny Davis. The man who would have put Baghdad Bob to shame for his unflinching flackery during Bill's Monica mess is back on the beat for Hillary. Yesterday, Davis wrote a HuffPo column purporting to set forth 10 Undisputed Facts showing Obama's weakness as a general election candidate against John Mccain. As Jake Tapper has observed, some of those "facts" are "both disputed and not facts," including the risible notion that Hillary didn't run any negative ads. Guess the commercial featuring Osama Bin Laden slipped Lanny's mind.

Lanny was back on the job on today's Morning Joe. After repeating his claim from the HuffPo column that Obama is in a dead heat with McCain in super-blue in Massachusetts while Hillary's up by 15%, Davis took his anti-Obama argument a giant step further. Davis claimed that Barack could lose in a blow-out of epic, McGovernesque, proportions.

Lanny Davis has his head so far up Clinton’s @ss, it’s hard to tell when he ends and she begins.

It is frightening to think I agree with Lanny Davis on anything, but I do believe McCain is going to whip Obama in November.

I mean, if I am allowed to say “whip” and “Obama” in the same calendar month and not be labeled.

I thought Obama wanted to talk about the issues. So, if you talk about governing philosophy and Obama's friends, that's a "distraction" from the "real issues". And if you talk about actual issues, it's "negative campaigning".

Why can't we just let him eat his waffle and enjoy his coronation in peace?

Most pollsters still give the advantage to Dems in the fall, including larger majorities in both houses, advantages in local and state races, etc.

However, it appears to be dawning on them that they may have selected an unelectable Pres. candidate, yet again.
The amazing thing is how they didn’t realize how MSM could play king-maker, as well as diseminate the truth of the Wright story and do it all so amazing quickly.

It’s as if they are waking up from a dream....and finding Hillary in bed with them (yeech!).

This Lanny Davis clown reminds me of the guy in Baghdad who while U.S. troops were riding tanks in to Baghdad said Sadams troops were winning.
LLanny Davis is little more that a Clinton butt boy.
IF his mouth is moving, he is lying.

Lanny Davis and President Bush went to the same school: Yale and I believe were fraternity brothers-*(was that Skull and Bones?)*, and are friendly toward each other./Just Asking - seoul62.........

49? Nah. More like 45, even in a worst case scenario (for him). He’ll surely win IL, MA and VT, and probably a couple more left-leaning states like RI and MD.

Lanny is way off here. Obama is not George McGovern.
Here’s there scenario:

In a rare election year with no incumbent President or Vice President from either party, the Democrats are swept up by the eloquent speaking style of an elitist politician from Illinois with a silver tongue who leads a New Politics movement against the old politics, one that happens to be decidedly liberal. His campaign is charged with the promise of change.

Fearing defeat, the Republicans nominate an older, politically moderate war hero with immense national popularity and unassailable integrity.

Sound familiar?
The year is 1952, and the election is Adlai Stevenson vs Dwight D. Eisenhower. The outcome is clear.

I am SO looking forward to the Denver Convention. It will be the show of the season. If it isn’t a ratings buster, then there is no hope for TV,

Lanny Davis never was easy to listen to but of late he’s become impossible, a complete a$$.

Seems like everyone these days has. I can't believe how many people, on the left AND one the right, are in love with this woman.
