Washington Sketch: Fired Up and Ready to Bore (Hillary tanking)
Washington Post ^ | 1-7-08 | Dana Milbank

A video report from Nashua at Hillary's big event. Hysterical. Stick around for the part where their cameras capture all the people leaving in the middle of the event. LOL!

Why is anybody surprised?? Hillary Clinton personally has all the charsima of a dead skunk. Her whole campaign is based on whatever residual charisma/nostalgia some voters feel for her husband.

Neither Clinton (him or her) is going to wind up in an orange jump suit. That's sad, unfortunate, but realistic. The best that we can hope for is that they wind up irrelevant, divorced, and the butt of assorted jokes. That's where things seem to be heading.

I have already gotten 5 e-mails today linking that Milbank piece. It is going around the country like wildfire. I think a ton of Democrats were just waiting for the right signal to jump off the Hillary bandwagon because they were never comfortable there at all. My husband is a Democrat, even worked for Fritz Mondale in 1984, and he never thought for a second about supporting Hillary. He is getting tons of calls and emails from his Democrat friends that are postively gleeful that Hillary is going down.

Lucky for us, irrelevancy is the greatest possible punishment for a Clinton. And that is where both of these grifters are headed.

“She’s real popular.... until people actually listen to her.”

Reminds me of Al Gore in the 2000 election. He was always leading in the polls, then dropping like a stone after each debate with GW.

Ahhh, the sweet smell of schanfreude.

It smells like.......desperation.

And to the people out there that say "We can beat Hillary, but Obama? Not so much...". ...Remember that a Hillary! presidency was more or less a foregone conclusion this time last year.

I say that it's better to knock her out early, drive a stake through her heart, and liberally salt her burial plot. If she gets the (D) nomination, all it would take is a viable 3rd party to split the (R) ticket..and she'd be in the White House. Heck, in 2000, Guilani would have stomped her in the Senate race but he got floored by prostate cancer, leaving us in the situation that we're in now.

Anything can happen in an election. Better than she doesn't have a chance to start with.

Maybe Hillary will do something unprecedented,as far as I know,which isn’t far,and announce Al Gore as her running mate,that will balance out the pure evil with total lunacy and walla! a well rounded ticket

By the way, I visited the “Democratic Undergound” website yesterday — hadn’t visited it in months. I was very surprised to see that every thread was anti-Hillary. Is that a recent emergence, or has it been that way all along?

OK, it’s a foregone conclusion there is no upside to either Obama or Clinton.

But there are different downsides. With Obama, I don’t know whether he would sell out our sovreignnty and national security interests for personal political power. I would hope not.

With Clinton, I know for a fact that she will. In a New York minute.

No, I don’t like either of them. But if we have a chance to eliminate Clinton politically, then do it. Do it now before she transmogrifies into a more dangerous life form.

Al Gore has already been her vice-president, and he didn’t like it the first time.

It IS great news!

She still has a commanding lead thanks to her locked-in superdelegates. But that’s good news too, as the Dems will IMO rupture at convention when Hilary only goes ahead due to superdelegates.

Sounds like a horror movie. "Clinton/Gore II. The Return"

I'm not sure if it would work. Simply because there aren't enough places that can hold both of their enormous egos. And viableoutside venues in NH in February are few and far between.

IMHO, Obama is a political dilettante. One term president, and out. I think that of the three current (D) choices, he'd do the least amount of damage, just because I think that he wouldn't accomplish anything.

Still not planning to vote for him though.

I want to see her in an orange pantsuit.

With cojoined steel bracelets...I agree.

...after taking down Obama.

Oh, my!!! This is the WASHINGTON POST, not the WASHINGTON TIMES. She is being mocked by the POST.

It’s increasingly clear that the old media has new marching orders: Hillary is unelectable - take her down.

I think you two may just have helped a wee bit with all the good work you've been doing.

THANK YOU!

Superdelegates are NOT locked in. They can change their minds at any time up until they vote at the convention.

From ABC news:

“These delegates can change their mind as many times as they want before states even begin voting and one candidate emerges as the nominees.

A similar survey of super delegates by ABC News in 2004 found Howard Dean leading in the super delegate count before the Iowa caucuses.

Yet when John Kerry emerged as the winner there and began his run to the nomination, super delegates began to jump off the Dean ship and throw their support to Kerry.”

In another article I read, Hillary’s campaign already had to call her superdelegates and beg them not to jump ship. The fact that sh’e already panicked about losing them after one caucus speaks volumes. If she loses NH, her superdelegates will start declaring for Obama.

When people put their head into their hands because their necks don’t work anymore, its bad.

But I guess listening to all those inane questions would make me want to put a bullet into my neck.

“How are you going to give me free healthcare?”
“”how are you going to give me free college?”
How are you going to give me...”
