The Hillary Clinton Myth Unravels At Last
North Star Writers Group ^ | February 28, 2008 | Dan Calabrese

Posted on 02/28/2008 5:11:57 AM PST by Invisigoth

It may be just a wee bit early to say that Hillary Clinton has blown her chance at the Democratic presidential nomination, but it’s not too late to address the exploding amazement of the political pundit class over the ineptness of her campaign. Rarely has a storyline been, in such equal parts, so dominant and fun to read.

How did the Clinton people manage to run such an embarrassingly bad campaign? Inquiring minds want to know.

But it’s really not that hard to figure out. In truth, they had nothing to work with – a problem that was only exacerbated by the fact that they were so thoroughly convinced of the opposite

Somehow I get the impression that the writer is not exactly a Hillary-fan..

The buck stops with Hillary and her small-mindedness and her ends-justify-the-means-when-there’s-something-I-want kind of attitude. She’s done it to herself. Schadenfreude—by the truckload.

Hillary is a VILE person and she is surrounded by OTHER VILE people.

The next to the best thing about this election is not just Hillary biting the dust, but watching it happen week by week.

Slowly, inexorably, like watching a train wreck in slow motion.

And it is as pleasing to the senses as melting chocolate in the mouth.

But...

The very best thing, is watching the avalanche of her destruction encompass and obliterate Bill as well. And why is it so pleasant to watch?

Because Bill's actions are like a jackass hauling nitroglycerin. His bucking and braying have exploded his mystical/mythical powers.

The Clinton Myth has been exposed. The putrid mendacity at its core has been laid bare.

It remains to be seen just how many will now pay top dollar to hear his egotistical rantings.

I think hillary’s campaign is quite normal for a democrat. The problem with hillary’s campaign is obvious - it’s hillary herself. In a word, she’s unlikable.

She entered the campaign too early and her screeching voice and whining have grated the entire American electorate, even democrats.

People can’t stand the thought of waking up every morning to the exorcist movie in the whitehouse.

Who cares about Hillary?

The MYTH of the Clinton War Room remains, for the “war room” consisted of the MSM/Hollywood/Academia/DNC.

And that war room remains and is simply battling for Hussein now.

No difference, they are all members of the UnAmerican Democrat Party.

And have a monopoly of propaganda myth making.

She ran the USUAL kind of campaign. The kind of campaign that usually works in any election cycle. The difference is the Messianic cult following of Obama. You can’t anticipate it and therefore you can’t change your style of campaign to fight it. This time, the old rules don’t apply.
Hillary would have to be MORE charismatic than Obama to wage an effective campaign.

Dan Calabrese is obviously part of the damn right wing conspiracy, just like me.

Schadenfraud! You and I think alike.

The book deals will dry up as well if they haven’t already.

they had nothing to work with

Exactly... and to top it off she, Bubba, and her campaign staff are STILL in denial...

Even if she manages to steal the primary from Obama, she will win nothing because ALL of the Obama supporters will jump ship.

Frankly, I would have preferred to see her not go down in flames until the Nov election. If Obama had to bow out first, Mrs Clinton would be the much more “beatable” candidate than he in the general election.
Both of them are bad news for this country...it just depends on the most efficient order of knocking them out.

The truth is Hillary had a track record eight years long.

It was the wrong experience and too unsavory for most Americans.

All true. But the damage to come from an Obama presidency may be fatal to the country.
