CLINTONS NO LONGER THE LIFE OF PARTY (inevitability to inadequacy)
NY POST ^ | January 4, 2008 | CHARLES HURT

Posted on 01/04/2008 4:36:45 AM PST by Liz

Awaiting her coronation, Hillary Rodham Clinton instead faced a seething revolt within her own party. More than 70% of Iowa Democrats rejected her....after 15 years of domination, the Clinton dynasty has finally lost its grip on the Party. What's devastating to her is that she lost so badly to a political novice. The problem with caressing the jewels of the crown before the coronation is that it's embarrassing when it turns out that the coronation goes to someone else. Clinton's invincibility has turned into inadequacy.

"Hillary, your loss doesn't look too good for The Clinton Legacy."

"Drop dead, Bill."

I don't mean to be a wet blanket, but these people are survivors, a la Don Corleone.

I wouldn't count Themselves out.

As the Republicans race to nominate yet another lackluster candidate, a humiliating primary defeat for Hillary may be the only joy I get out of this election season.

Thanks for posting this. I was somewhat amazed not to see any other front-page posts on this topic last night.

But does she really want to spend the rest of her viable political career on the national stage tearing down the man who is poised to become America's real first black president?

Is Charles Hurt a Democrat?

I wouldn't either. But what this does is to force her heinous away from her script and it applies negative pressure to her machinations. And she has ably demonstrated in the past that she does well in neither situation. We are seeing a set-up for a scream moment.

One big reason for Hill’s poor showing: Causcus format very difficult to introduce FRAUD into.

Good Morning Liz,
Everytime a klintooon loses, it is a win for America. Huckabee another (dope) from Arkansas, who uses religion like a snake-oil salesman.

Hope you had a ‘Merry Christmas and a “Happy New Years’s.”

Respectfully,
NSNR

Yeah, this is the first article on this subject that I’ve seen since what....correct me if I’m wrong here, but didn’t Hillary come in THIRD in Iowa?

THIRD?

Serious....come on guys, yer joshing me...she came in THIRD?

So okay, it’s only one race and it’s not as if that crazy Iowa thing ever was known far and wide for its accuracy in predicting presidents or anything. Iowa’s primary claim to fame is, eh, its primary. Which is the first one in America, duh.

Still....I could swear I saw that She Who Will Be Queen came in, correct me if I’m wrong here...THIRD?

She was beaten by WHO? Now I know you’re lying. No way this...who? Barack Osama? Oh...Obama! And John Edwards? You guys are telling me that those two beat HILLARY?

Seriously, does this bode anything at all. Cause I’m happy to wishful think. And right along, like most Freepers, I’ve thought that Hillary would never be accepted by the American public like the Drive-By Media adores the woman.

The next weird thing about last night was that, even with two days of Huckabee bashing by Rush Limbaugh, Huckabee still won Iowa with a wide margin.

Is Rush losing his edge? Yes I know he said he wouldn’t endorse in the primary but he had no hesitation with criticizing. And hey, I agreed with every word Rush said about Huckabee.

Yet Huckabee won by a handy margin.

Is it me or is the world turning upside down?

Maybe not, but it sure is nice to see Mrs. Clinton bloodied.
Hopefully she gets a serious beat down next in N.H.

Very good point. Perhaps we can get Dhimmi Carter to certify the New Hampshire primary. /sarcasm

Look for the Clinton Machine to ramp up its ops.

Ergo, Obama’s win was fraudulent?

LOL, yes!!!

I think their adoration for her ended when they realized she was unelectable. She simply doesn't have the personality to win the Presidency. She skated into the Senate seat because the NY press let her skirt any actual hard questions and unscripted interviews. They know that isn't feasible for a national election. People will figure out that she's a bitter, hate-filled shrew who feels she is superior to the "common man" and who is good for nothing other than tearing others down.

Morning.

Yup, a Clinton loss is a winner for our wonderful country. Let’s hope we get a permanent reprieve from these two democracy destroyers.

And here’s a wish for a very Happy New Year to you and yours.
