“She thinks she still has that going for her, along with the cockeyed notion that somebody who can loan herself more than $11 million to keep running for President is more of a working-class hero than Norma Rae.”

That’s true.

But is this writer going to assert that the Obamas are really working-class people? They are both wealthy and neither has ever had a real job, just like the Clintons have never worked real jobs.

Once again, it’s the same ol’, same ol’ for the Democrats. Wealthy elitists trying to show people how down to earth they are. Remember John Kerry: “I want to get me one o’ them huntin’ licenses.”

Reading a sports reporter trying to political commentary is like watching a dog walk on it’s hind legs. They never do it well, and the surprising thing is that they do it at all.

LOL!

And once you've seen them do it, you never need to see it again...

Isn’t Lupica one of Imus’ cronies?

Timing is everything. Unfortunately the general public has the attention span of a gerbil. Drop that bomb too soon, and it’s quickly forgotten or the story more easily spun away with the passage of time.

“Rumor control has it she has a “killer” of a suprise to drop on Obama. “

And once the press and the Dem leaders wake up from their Obama hangover they will realize they are rid of the Clintons but what do they have now? They are like the couple in the Gwyneth Paltrow movie who have a one-night stand and she winds up pregnant.

Consider that they have as their candidate:
- a Senator who hasn’t even completed his first term
- a young man who has no real experience in anything but local activism
- a man who has no foreign policy experience
- a man who is friendly with lots of extreme left-wing types who don’t go over well in the heartland.
- a man who has never managed or led a large organization — except his presidential campaign (which is mostly run by other people, anyway)
- a man who has never had a real job.
- a man with a wife who is a wild card

As always in life, be careful for what you wish for.

While Lupica is right about Hillary he is also just another nerdy jock sniffing sports "journalist".

even as she plays to the same gullible audience that elected George W. Bush twice,

No wonder this sissy backs the elitist snob Obama.

Does anybody have any idea what the “surprise” might be?

I’m waiting for someone to reveal the true relationship between Hil and Huma.

I think if Hillary doesn’t drop out, she must be positioning herself for VP. If she takes huge number of popular vote and reasonable number of delegates he will have to offer it to her. I’d hate to have her a heartbeat away from the oval office while I was sitting in the chair.

I don’t think the fences will ever mend. Hillary is still on the attack.

That’s exactly what I mean. She’s not just spending donated contributions, she’s digging into her own pocket.

It’s an article of faith for the Clinton’s never to pay for anything if they can get a supporter or government agency to pay for it for them.

So, if she is willing to spend her own money, you can pretty much be sure she’s not playing for Vegas odds. Or, if she is, she’s the house.

...in other words, what they’d have would be John Kennedy in 1960...some disaster, huh...
