Who would have figured it? All the mud that the Clintons threw at Barack Obama - the Iowa coordinators spreading the rumors that he was a Muslim, Billy Shaheen in New Hampshire intimating that he was a drug dealer, Bob Kerrey endlessly repeating his middle name, Hussein.
All for naught but, finally, a Hail Mary pass, what amounted to a Republican ad, stressing Baracks limp-wristed, Code Pink politics. The spot was based on the most unlikely scenario imaginable - that Democratic primary voters actually gave a hoot about national security.
But it worked. Or something worked. And suddenly, shes back in the fight. She even took Rhode Island. This means that in the states where Gov. Deval Patrick is seen on the local TV news every evening, Barack Obama is now 0-for-3. Ted and Patches Kennedy and John Kerry once again showed that they too have long coattails -for Hillary.
Yes we can - learn from our terrible error in the 2006 governors race!
Hillary Clinton isnt the new Comeback Kid. Shes the next Freddie Krueger. And the Pennsylvania primary may well be Baracks Nightmare on the Main Line.
We will have Hillary Clinton to kick around some more. Nobody wants to write the obituaries for the Clinton dynasty quite yet. This has been just too much fun, watching Hillary twist slowly, slowly in the wind. Because she is in so many ways the female Richard Nixon - unlikable, shrill, phony, stiff, self-pitying and more than a little shady.

without the mask
lol
pity that the choices are so mediocre.
Senator Hillary Clinton isn’t fit to shine President Nixon’s shoes. Say what you will of Richard Nixon, but he was a patriot, a World War II Navy veteran, a forceful anti-communist and a first-rate political tactician. Mrs. Clinton is the exact opposite of all those things.
“Pinhead,” from the Hellraiser flicks.
Or Wishmaster.
Well said. Nixon’s great crime involved a stupid break-in at DNC headquarters. It’s funny how most people think he murdered someone and really don’t know what Watergate was about.
NAFTA-Gate will be Obama’s undoing.
The Clintons are a first-rate mafia tactician.
Very interesting that Bill wasn’t even on the stage with her last night. Notice, too, how he’s stayed out of the news for several weeks.
It seems to have worked. As long as voters aren’t reminded of “two for the price of one”, they forget that she brings a lot of baggage with her. The Toons fooled ‘em again.
While we’re all sitting around, watching Mrs. Clinton’s swearing-in, I am going to go house-to-house of every FReeper and conservative to advocated keeping her in this race to personally call them an insulting name, which can not be posted here. Starting with Rush Limbaugh and working my way down.
I want to puke that hillarybeast won - omg
I cannot believe it - I can’t stand the thought of those clintonistas in office again.
ANYONE but the clintons UGH
Time to start making a list, and checking it twice...
Anybody who advocated for Mrs. Clinton, how about saving me some time and effort and just ‘fess up? When I am wrong, I admit it.
The Clinton ‘hate factor’ just needs motivation to show up in November, more likely than counting on the 20% Democrats who ‘won’t vote for a black man’.
I'm really pi$$ed off, and the feeling's not going away.
THE THING THAT WOULDN’T DIE.
I didn’t vote yesterday, but thought in passing I would have voted for her. NC votes at the end of the train, and I will vote for Mitt or write him in. But I feel badly because Hillary feels good today. I don’t want this feeling ever again, and I’m happy to know that I didn’t have a hand in it.
There’s a possibility of an ultimate happy ending here; if KKKlintler can win by gaming the system, the dem party will implode and could actually end up being replaced by some third party.
