Dowd: Clinton Camp Claims Obama Went Lazio on Hillary

As its Hollywood-borrowed headline There Will Be Blood suggests, the gist of Maureen Dowd's column today is that appearances of that icky post-debate clinch notwithstanding, there is no love lost between Hillary and Obama. The junior senator from Illinois won't agree to run as Hillary's vice-presidential candidate. Or as Maureen metaphorically puts it:
Why would Obama want to follow in the frustrated footsteps of Al Gore . . . being third banana to Billary?
Along the way, Dowd appears to break some news of a confrontation between the two that one camp views as having been physical . . .

Not because you’re angling for the VP slot, I hope.

Bill’s probably mad that he made her feel like a real woman for the first time in many years.

That phony “threat” only worked against Lazio because the Dem msm blew it into something it never was. They will not give Obama that same treatment because he is a Democrat. Hillary is going to have to do something really dramatic after Super Tuesday. It will be fun to watch.

For the CZJ pics, of course!

Good point. The MSM would never paint Obama as a threatening bully.
To: governsleastgovernsbest
I would say he Al Gored her. Gore tried that to Bush and ended up looking stupid because Bush is twice the man Gore is and you walked away thing Bush might kick his ass. Obama was just showing us how diminutive and weak Hillary is. She probably got weak in the knees and made her want to switch back to her original team.

The encounter seemed to have steeled them both. Hillary, to knock back the upstart who had unexpectedly gotten in her way, and Obama, who came away feeling that, for all of Hillarys outer strength, she was afraid of him in some ways, and for all of her supposed poise, she had a more spiky temperament than he had realized.Hah, Obama gets his wake up call.
The Queen is not to be trifled with.

Looking out on the morning rain,
I used to feel so uninspired.
And when I knew I had to face another day,
Lord it made me feel so tired.
Before the day I met you,
Life was so unkind.
You're the key to my piece of mind...

I think Hillary might have had more Smackwater Jack in mind ;-)

[Team Clinton] had been surprised and troubled by what they saw as his attempt to grab her arm and hold her in place while they talked.
Yeh, right. In truth, Team Clinton are grinning ear-to-ear at Obama's attempt to grab her arm and hold her in place. [Snicker]
Clintons will use whatever it takes. The perception of Lazio moving into her space gave her a Senate seat. If a similar perception against Obama gives her the Dem nomination, so be it. Whatever it takes.
The Clinton Machine plays dirty. The Clinton Machine plays for all the marbles. The Clinton Machine plays for keeps.
Any Obama misstep is just step closer to the Oval Office for Clinton, and she will use every Obama misstep to her advantage.
If the allegation sticks, Obama's attempt to grab her arm and hold her in place couldn't have been more opportune if it has been scripted.
