MCALLEN, Texas -- With Spanish music blaring, Sen. Hillary Clinton campaigned across South Texas yesterday with a more populist message, as her new campaign manager sought to reshape a campaign that has lost eight straight primaries in a week.

Maggie Williams, a confidante of Mrs. Clinton from when she was first lady, has moved to assert her control following the departure last weekend of former campaign manager Patti Solis Doyle. Ms. Williams is running a daily conference on what ads to put up and expanding the inner circle with advisers from the old Clinton White House.

But the campaign has something of a shellshocked feel, as staffers privately chew over a blowup last week where internal frictions flared into the open. Clinton campaign operatives say it happened as top Clinton advisers gathered in Arlington, Va., campaign headquarters to preview a TV commercial. "Your ad doesn't work," strategist Mark Penn yelled at ad-maker Mandy Grunwald. "The execution is all wrong," he said, according to the operatives.

“It cannot happen by normal election methods.”

Of course we all know the Klintons have NEVER campaigned using only “normal election methods.” They are as bad as the worst of criminals or mobsters.

Rush has said more than once that regardless of who wins the most delegates Hildabeast will be the nominee. I hope not but it probably will get interesting.

GET YOUR POPCORN READY.

Ms. Solis Doyle is just pimping herself for the betterment of Hitlery’s campaign. Hitlery is always talking about being a mom first and everything else afterward. YEAH RIGHT!!! She’s a full fledged politician, wannabe a Queen candidate. Anything to become the top dog in the race.
