No, I have to disagree with you rodguy. I think that she's feeling spooked-- she got into the campaign way too early for her financially and politically (considering how she needs to stay on the fence to appear moderate). She had her people call up Spitzer's office and her staff went nuts when he refused to come out and support her this early.
The Geffen thing freaked the Clintons out too. One by one, their big donors are going toward Obama. Say what you will about the left, but the money crowd knows that voters want hope and Obama knows how to create that appeal.
Obama may not have planned to run,but he's a smart enough man to know that there are a lot of Dems (esp on the West Coast) who do not want Hillary to run.
Bill Kristol was right when he wrote that really all she has going for her is the air of inevitability and for now, that's in pieces.
IMHO that's why she trotted out the old saw about the VRWC.
If she really were together, she would have waited it out and then let a weakened Obama try to challenge her when she did get into the race. But being a narcissist, she just can't let any threat stand.
If I were supporting Obama, I would be making sure his security was tight and that he had a bullet proof car and vest.
But truth still is this election will be won in the last 4 months and she will play a small part in it IMHO.
Only Bubba can pull it off and he's weak. He needs help--enter Oblama.
Her negs are so high she has to have someone,anyone, who can bump them up the 4-6 points she keeps coming up short.
That spells oblama. He and Bubba campaigning together would be slam dunk for the left and their true believers. IT would be a rock star duo for the msm/dbm for several months and she could disappear, a must if she want to get even close.
We have always known that once the true hillary is seen by the voting population she will be rejected. People just won't vote for a mad all the time pants suit wearing dyke, sorry to tell it like it is but that's the truth. It's just happening earlier than expected.
