Oh What a world...what a world....

The Hillary and Bill Clinton scorched-earth strategy of laying waste to Obama, or his supporters like Bill Richardson, is going to backfire among those in the only constituency who can put Hillary in the saddle. The super delegates.
These people are professional politicians, officials and operatives who are horrified that the Clintons et Co. are producing negative soundbytes which will become fodder for the McCain side come the real contest in the fall. But this should come as no surprise .
The Clintons are being as cavalier with the reputation and credibility of their opponent and party as they were concerning the candidacy of Vice President Al Gore. He was sandbagged, and lost against George Bush, in large measure due to the fact that Bill Clinton should have resigned after his diddling with Monica Lewinsky was proven by a DNA test despite months denying it.
Slick strikes again
Now Bill is putting himself before party again, as is the Clinton team, by ruthlessly dissing Obama. Within hours after his good “friend” Bill Richardson defected to Obama’s team, Bill mused aloud that only McCain and Hillary were candidates who truly loved the U.S. It was clearly a churlish remark by a guy who had courted Richardson and employed him in his cabinet and as an ambassador in a couple of countries. Then on Easter a Hillary attack dog likened Richardson to Judas who sold out his loyalty for 30 pieces of silver.
No kidding.
But Richardson said it all in his endorsement speech. He said that the fighting must stop and Hillary must cease and desist in favor of Obama because he was a “once in a lifetime leader”. Later, he said the Clintons have a sense of “entitlement” to the White House and shouldn’t. But the Clintons won’t be muzzled and are fighting for their political lives. They obviously don’t care if their vicious attempt to win their nomination battle may end up costing the party the war.
Short of a Hail Mary Pass, the Clintons are digging themselves an early, and permanent, party grave. More super delegates are going to follow Richardson’s lead even if Hillary pulls off Pennsylvania on April 22. National polls, after a rough week for Obama, have them tied and he is gaining again at her expense. But Obama has 730,000 more votes and 131 more super delegates than her and has it bagged even if she wins everything else in huge numbers.
Is there a YouTube clip of that yet? I'd pay money to see it live...
bytes?
Hillary Clinton/Ralph Nader 2009—Green Party.
Oh What a world...what a world....
Scorched Earth? I don’t think the real fight has started. Obama surrogates are so concerned by his internal polls that they are already threatening “unrest” if he isn’t given the nomination. That isn’t the profile of a walkaway winner.
Democrat Mutual Destruction is the best thing that could happen in this country and Richardson is not much of an asset without the Clinton backing.
The article says..that Richardson said ...”He said that the fighting must stop and Hillary must cease and desist in favor of Obama because he was a “once in a lifetime leader”.
I can’t help but feel we are being played like a fiddle!
Asset?? Richardson Bill Clintons mexican pimp is just a gutter bum. Big time low life.
If Hillary loved this country she wouldn't work so hard to destroy it.
As much as I like reading that, Obama has gotten kid glove treatment. Only the modern day democrat would possibly consider what has happened to that empty suit race hustler as anything other than fair game.
Bingo!
The Clintons must stay in national office or they face a stay in prison. National office means power and immunity. If they lose that, the sharks they have been feeding will turn on them.
And then they will be chum.
The Clintons invented the politics of personal destruction, and they are not through yet. Not until Hillary gets the nomination, and wins the election.
Obama (and his cultlike following) scare me. Hillary in the White House is a upsetting but doable; Obama in the White House terrifies me.
The Clintons would run over their grandmothers if those women stood between them and POWER. Dems are right to worry.
That said, the grifter's sociopathic hunger sure works for Republicans.
When you're running against Hillary she runs out from beneath the front porch and you always get bitten. If you're lucky, it's not lethal but you never know.:)
Not me - I’d take Obama or almost anyone over the Clintons.
Live by the sword, die by the sword. Couldn’t happen to a more deserving couple.
Obama cannot win.
