Analysis: Clinton could turn toxic as options dry up
The London Times ^ | February 20, 2008 | Gerard Baker

few months back, as Barack Obama’s campaign was just beginning to look like it might seriously challenge Hillary Clinton’s presidential ambitions, a senior Obama campaign official sent a warning to his staff.

It was a succinct message designed to forewarn and forearm his people against what was expected to be a ferocious onslaught from an increasingly desperate Clinton campaign.

“Better get your hazmat suits on”, the memo told them

If they didn’t do it then, the Obama team should now be reaching urgently for the protective outerwear, because following another night of crushing defeat for Mrs Clinton, it seems that the Clintons have only one remaining hope if they are to wrest the Democratic nomination – a highly toxic attack on the man who is now clearly the frontrunner.

Never fear. She Who Must Be Obeyed will win, one way or another. Hazmat suits are useless to prevent it.

“I think Obama’s followers are beyond stupid.”

Ain’t that the truth! I love Rush’s satire about Obama’s supporters, the vapid valley girl saying “The past is like history and history is so yesterday” as though it were dirt or disease.

Go ahead. I may have to buy several more boxes of microwave popcorn for the next few weeks.

This is getting to be more fun as the days go by, and I love every minute.

Things have fallen precipitously on Super Tuesday. Hillary’s margin of victory in my state (New Jersey) was provided entirely by her overwhelming lead in the largely white and blue collar suburbs in the southern part of the state (across from Philly).

The RAT Primary commentators on Fox last night kept saying that Osama would win easily against "the ancient McLame" and they were serious. Pat Buchanan was there and didn't defend McLame much.

Obama is and would be the worst of the two RATs. His promises to end the war, destroy the military and close down Guantanamo while providing the terrorists with US legal assistance. He promised he would end capitalism as we know it etc. etc. It was a disgusting, socialist speech but the yuppie audience in his background (mostly white, middle-aged women) ate it up, cheered and looked like the thoughtless idiots they are.

Could turn toxic?

A more accurate description would be, “The contamination has reached toxic levels.”

He is more dangerous than Hillary....

Agreed....why aren’t people upset about his church affiliation, they are hate mongers hiding behind the cross of christ. No better than KKK. In addition to this his smooth appearance is a charade and an act. God help us if either are elected.

The first thing I thought of when reading that scenario did not involve any kind of decapitation.

“If I’m not mistaken, Bobby Kennedy was on a similar roll
as Obama is now.”


It wasn’t the fall.
It was the sudden stop at the end that killed him.

In Virginia ... Mr Obama did especially well because ...

My very elderly, thoroughly Republican/conservative aunt & her entire circle of equally elderly/Republican lady friends, all got together and decided they were voting for Obama to make sure Hellary had no shot at the White House. Just sayin' .... there was an awful lot of this going on .......
