THERE is an air of desperation in Hillary Clinton’s camp. The New York senator has embarked on a door-die mission to hector and bully her way to victory, putting her on a potential collision course with Democratic party leaders.
It is a risky strategy that could leave her more isolated and unpopular as voters defect to Barack Obama, the new front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination. Obama, 46, is being tarred as a cultish, messianic figure who talks big but cannot deliver.
Clinton, 60, is being driven into her last redoubts as white women, blue collar workers and Hispanics – her core supporters – have begun to peel away. In public she is adopting a feistier tone and a more populist message against the Illinois senator in a bid to stem her losses.

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!
Everything hinges on the super delegates now. It really makes you wonder just how many of them are going to stay with her.
Get ready for crying-jags and other emotional moments as Hillary is propped up and pimped for the final stand. The Clintons will stop at nothing. Where are Vince Foster and Web Hubbell when you need them?
One-hundred thirty million dollars and it's only mid-February? Geez Louise!
Gloria Steinem, pick up the white courtesy phone, history is calling.
“Clinton’s camp has been circulating stories criticising the “cult” of Obama in the hope of portraying “Obamania” as a mass delusion. Media Matters, a watchdog organisation sympathetic to Clinton, compiled a report headlined, “Media figures call Obama supporters’ behaviour ‘creepy’, compare them to Hare Krishna and Charles Manson followers”.”
Never thought I’d agree with the clintonoids on anything, but I have to admit they’re right on this one point. Just sayin’.
How are Obama supporters “creepy”? I mean really, you may disagree with them, but they have stayed above the attacks of the Clinton campaign quite well IMO.
I may not agree with Obama on most issues, but must say I like the guy.
Heard an interview with one of them Friday... he's a twenty-one year old Marquette student with powerful parents who helped him get elected to the Wisconsin DNC. At seventeen! He's already had breakfast with Chelsea and received phone calls from Bubba.
P.S. Both Bill and Hillary Clinton are super delegates themselves....
Re: Patti Solis Doyle, who coined the term “Hillaryland” and was axed as Clinton’s campaign manager last week
She should have been axed for that term alone!
The superdelegate nonsense make thrid world elections seem not so bad anymore.
new Hillary perfume
[Ohio governor] Strickland believes the voters have yet to get to know the warm-hearted, “deeply caring” Clinton: “I told her if people understood what motivates you to seek this office, if they understood what was in your heart, there wouldn’t be any contest.”
I'm left absolutely speechless.
Anyone who lines up behind a cult of personality is in my book, creepy. Jim Jones, Heavens Gate, David Koresh, Moonies etc. etc. All that stuff is creepy to me. Also the real/fake fainting episodes at the Obama revivals.
With that the VOMIT FROM HELL answered....(the arrogance is truly amazing!)“Well, it will be me,"!!
I chuckled when I reread that in your post. Her softer side lasted about a week and was comprised mainly of a glassy-eyed "I almost cried" moment in New Hampshire.
It's like Hitler in the bunker. The Soviets and Americans are closing in on Berlin and yet the generals are still too afraid to tell him that all hope is lost.
She doesn’t care if she’s “unpopular.” Once she becomes queen she’ll “take care” of those who got in her way.
ROTFLMAO!!!
