Hillary's Ego Trip


Last night’s North Carolina victory speech.

Honestly, what is the point of Hillary Clinton staying in the race any longer except to stroke her ego? She can't win with the few, smallish primaries remaining (and she's going to get creamed in Oregon). The only strategy left is to provoke a floor fight, change the rules she agreed upon originally regarding Michigan and Florida and blow up the Democratic Party in Denver. She's not even raising enough money, and has to fund this endless road trip herself. That should tell her something. But she doesn't seem to listen to anything but the diva in her head (you know, "me, me, me, me").

And what's up with Diane Denish? Is she a Hillarybot or what? She's alienating good chunks of the Democratic Party of New Mexico with her rear guard action for Clinton's losing effort.

Finally, Obama's speech. I am a cynic about ALL politicians (if you haven't already figured that out). But my reserves of cynicism were drained pretty low listening to his amazing message last night. There is something quite special about him as a political leader. I am starting to believe he may really mean what he says about bringing us all together, and that he may be the person to do it. That's darn close to an endorsement from me, the co-chair of McCain's 2000 effort in New Mexico.

    "Division" isn't a dirty word. It's a symptom of liberty and diversity. Is bringing us all together, really a desirable goal? The only way to do that, is to cut down the agenda to the most basic things everyone really agrees on, and that's a damn short list.

    I just don't get all this Unity talk. It sounds like code for, "I agree with you, and everyone else does too." I'm sure it's what everyone wants to hear, but what if people talk? Oops!

    She's already looking pretty rode-hard...she'll straight-up look like Madeline Albright by 2010 if she gets elected anyway. pobrecita...

  • Hillary looks great.  [ Wed May 7 2008 7:53 PM ]
    Just sort of desperate and angry.

  • Richardson for VP?  [ Wed May 7 2008 11:13 PM ]
    I have seen several recent opinions, including the Washington Post, that mentions Big Bill for VP. I think it's a pretty good idea. At least he has had the balls to talk face to face to the various nuts holding people (Including Sadaam himself). We need a jolly VP at this point and someone with some goddam sense.
