Thanks Mia T for another great post.
Hillary, after spending $40 million in a basically uncontested race against an unknown, unfunded candidate in a totally blue state, got only 67% of the vote. She polled behind Spitzer 70% and Schumer's last race 73%.
Addendum: Hillary Clinton had no coat tails. The GOP candidates upstate won.
This woman is a total fraud.
How is her Highness doing after the campaign? "I'm exhausted, she stated". Not great shape to be in pursuing a job that is 24/7.
Run Hillary Run!
The landslide consists of obtaining 2.8 million votes out of 11 million registered voters in a state with a total population approaching 20 million. Her celebrity, her expenditures, and her free ride in the MSM, all must be taken into account.
Credit where credit is due. Her team got the job done. But if this is a mandate, it is a mandate for Alfred E. Newman ("What me worry?"), not for the policies ("plans") of Mrs. Clinton who garnered only 25% of the registered voters in the state for all her fame, spending and media support.
Republicans/conservatives inability to win in the face of Hillary's meager return on her investment in election results, is the real problem. Fingerpointing is currently rampant amoung the conservatives with each owner of a pointed finger seemingly assured the party failed in direct proportion to differences of opinion with such finger's owner.
Of the 4.2 million New Yorker's who did vote, one is at a loss to comprehend what perception of the political landscape compelled a majority to vote for Mrs. Clinton or Mr. Spitzer, another dubiously endowed personality.
No one should underestimate the difficulty of unseating a media protected encumbant. Especially in our regulated world of "election finance reform", absent a coincidental political disaster (like the Chicago snow storm that ended the nitwit mayor's career) it may even be imposible to topple a Hillary, or a Diane Finestien.
The very notion of American style western democracy traces to the 1500's when commentators first suggested that political authority derives from the people, not from a theological designation of favored power centers. As America is forced, for its survival, to do battle with a culture that is mired in the antiquity preceding the discovery of this distinction, its is appropriate, if nothing else, to remind Mrs. Clinton at every opportunity, that her moral authority having broken all spending records and gained 2.8 million votes in a state of 20 million citizens, under American notions of government, is akin to having inhereted political power by rousing the most number of public transportation riders in a world that has endorsed private transportation.
Mrs. Clinton has bought herself a second term. New Yorkers seem not to care, either way. Even if I am the only one to say it, however, she has not earned the moral authority to speak as a representative of anyone other than the gang of contributors and political manipulators that pulled off her plurality.

thanx :)

Better get busy, Nancy P., Al Qaeda is expecting a lot from you - or else, some "brotherly" attention directly, AQ promises . . . .

There are two other dynamics at work here; they are sometimes applied together: Bush 'loyalty' and the DC mutual protection racket writ large (which seems to go in only one direction these days, making me wonder if it's more self-protection than mutual protection).
As for the Bushes treating clinton like family: In a sense, bill clinton was indeed borne of Bush.

LEHRER: President Bush, your closing statement, sir. PRESIDENT BUSH: Three weeks from now--two weeks from tomorrow, America goes to the polls and you're going to have to decide who you want to lead this country ... On foreign affairs, some think it's irrelevant. I believe it's not. We're living in an interconnected world...And if a crisis comes up, ask who has the judgment and the experience and, yes, the character to make the right decision? And, lastly, the other night on character Governor Clinton said it's not the character of the president but the character of the presidency. I couldn't disagree more. Horace Greeley said the only thing that endures is character. And I think it was Justice Black who talked about great nations, like great men, must keep their word. And so the question is, who will safeguard this nation, who will safeguard our people and our children? I need your support, I ask for your support. And may God bless the United States of America. (Applause) |
'brotherly' attention, indeed. Looks like the Left has planted itself on the horns of a rather deadly dilemma. ;)
excellent commentary, as always.
anxiously awaiting the certified results.
Will the results indicate that all of those poor, suffering unemployed Upstaters (to whom missus clinton promised 200,000 new jobs) actually voted against themselves by returning to office this utter incompetent (who in fact lost them 75,000 jobs)?
If the results do indicate this, how can they possibly be legitimate? Voting against interest is one thing. Voting against the survival instinct is quite another.
fyi
I'm not so sure 'street fighter' is an acquired taste.
The Bushies' turn-the-other-cheek refinement and politesse may in fact be genetic, quaint relics of a different time and a different war.
The problem may be geographic as well: There are far too few people on the Right from the gritty urban center....
fyi
