Another Bleak Wednesday for Clinton

It is another bleak Wednesday for Hillary Clinton's campaign, the second in as many weeks in which she has awakened to the aftermath of what President Bush would call a thumpin'.
Was she expected to lose Wisconsin? Probably. Was she expected to lose it by 17 percentage points? Never. On top of that came another drubbing in a caucus state, this time in Hawaii, where Obama had lived as a child. The margin there was 51 points.
Whatever the Clinton campaign thought would work has not worked. The carefully crafted phrases -- Obama is about promises, Clinton is about solutions -- fell flat in the Badger state. The negative ads about whether Obama was ducking debates did not work either.

The people voting for Obama or Hillary are basically the liberal left. There is very little difference in each of the candidates positions and policies. The reason they are voting for Obama is quite simple.
They know Hillary is not an honest person and as an individual totally unlikeable, just ask her husband about that. Thus about the only alternative they have is to vote for Obama.

Some combination of strength and compassion is the new goal.
Uh, like Bush?

Dude, I am waiting for a dramatic, operatic ending, like Bubba singing a mournful aria over the dying carcass of Hitlery, in front of their trailer in Arkansas!... and in a colorful scene appropriate for opera finales, they are surrounded by a crowd of trailer trash peasants dressed in their usual Sears and Roebuck polyester costumes, and baseball caps of minor league teams.

Dear Mrs. Clinton,
Find a high building and jump.
I’m laughing all the time you are falling.

Is anyone else loving this as much as I am?
Of course millions and zillions are. This is a thousand times more delicious than the best baba au rhum. I'll omit any sexual metaphors

How far is she willing to go, risking reputation, integrity, and leadership capital? Hitlery has a lousy reputation, no integrity and no leadership qualities. You can't risk what you don't have.

Finally, maybe just finally Hillary is finding out that America REALLY doesn’t like her?? It sure took a long time! Her arrogance is absolutely astounding and we now know for sure the Clintons are not made of teflon!!

I did the early voting thing in Texas yesterday. I never thought I would ever vote in a DemocRAT primary. Yes I voted for Barry O. If Hillary is in the general I will get the pleasure of voting against her twice. Several of my Republican friends are doing the same. I think she is in for a big surprise in Texas.
