Bill Clinton was the most skillful political candidate in 1992. Frankly, the most skillful candidate of the 90's. Hillary flatly does not have the capacity to fire people up. You can't get fired up over someone who triangulates everything. "All the Kings's Men" was on cable yesterday morning. Remember the scene where Willie Stark ditches his canned speech and corrupt handlers on the stump and shows his 'hicks' that he 'shares their pain' ? Can you imagine Hillary connecting with people like that ? Bill could. He could fit in at Oxford and at a Black Baptist church. Hillary doesn't have that.
Between Feingold firing up the left and Warner getting the right it remains to be seen whether Hillary will retain the monolithic Black support she desparately needs to even be nominated.
Bill's going to have another affair publicized so she can get the sympathy vote. ;)
(In the meantime ..she needs a full time speech coach. When she rants , my cats hide.)
