Hillary! was hardly neutral in the race prior to that point. ANDREW was her hand-picked boy from the very beginning. He was going to ride Ol' Crusty's coat-tails to glory.
It was generally acknowledged by all that the only reason she did not formally endorse ANDREW was out of sensitivity to NY racial politics.
The reason she finally jumped on the McCall bandwagon is because it eventually became clear that there was no way ANDREW could win, even with every bit of voter fraud and back-room gyrations the Clintons could muster. At that point, she had to cut ANDREW loose, because it does her no good to be seen standing next to a loser.
Similarly, the Clintonistas began saying yesterday that they never really supported Reno in Florida. They are just cutting their losses.
The fact is, the Clintons have lost race after race since they left the White House. The last Clintonista to win so much as a primary election was Hillary! herself.
Eventually people will catch on. Hillary!ism is dead. Ol' Crusty just doesn't have coat-tails.
Exactly, my FRiend...the alleged Clintonista Juggernaut continues to IMPLODE before our eyes!!
FReegards...MUD
Very good observation and politically true. Now let's see how McCall does against Pataki.
A true statement until last night when Erskine Bowles won the Democratic Primary in North Carolina.
And speaking of last night's primary and the Clinton's "back-stabbing", what is y'all's take on the last-minute withdrawal of Clinton support for Janet Reno in Florida? As was discussed on one of the election threads, the Clintons obviously felt that McBride was going to beat ole Bigfoot so they climbed aboard what looked like the winning team. But...they never counted on the race being so close and Reno threatening to go to court over the apparent "irregularities."
Now here is where it gets interesting per that thread. Reno knows where the bodies are buried. And the Clintons just dumped on Reno. I would feel very shaky, about now, to be standing in Reno's boots.
