ON Clinton Saturday, Mar 1 2008
Clinton 3:24 pm
She’s done.
Tuesday, March 4 predictions;
Texas: Obama blowout. 58-41
Ohio: Obama win, 53-48
Vermont: Obama blowout
RI: Clinton win (god knows why, but the last poll that I saw had Clinton up by 20. I dont’ see how Obama erases that. I wonder if RI is filled with white women over 35 who make less than $40k/year.)
The sound that you hear from the campaign is her thrashing around looking for a non-existent way out. It’s sad, really. And, I do feel badly for her. But, the campaign stunk to high heaven. And, Clinton, I hate to say, really got shrill. It’s such a dammed stereotypical, but I can’t think of a better word. Nothing encapsulates my depth of feeling for Hillary more than her press conference 2 days after the Texas debate where she had her tantrun, saying, “Shame on you, Barack Obama”. The fact that the what she was complaining about was typical campaign literature that didn’t really push the envelope and the fact that her campaign has done worse (picture of Obama in Somali garb to Drudge? Really?), is irrelevant. It was a very painful tantrum to watch. And, it caused me to go over completely to Obama’s camp (if I wasn’t there already.) It wasn’t presidential. It wasn’t the right reaction. It wasn’t even what an adult would do.
Time for Hillary to go.

I am not crazy about Hillary, but just because Obama has a gift of gab, doesn’t mean he’s presidential material.
I am still undecided at this time, however, I am not giving up on Hillary just because others, who are so easily influenced, are.
Look how many idiots voted for GW, TWICE!!
As for McCain, he doesn’t have a prayer in hell.
Too bad he dropped out of the second to last presidential race, he would have been much better than GW.
Hell, ANYONE would have been better than GW.

ANYONE would have been better than GW. We completely agree.
Obama gives more, I think now, much more, than the ‘gift of gab’. Look at his legislative and non-governmental accomplishments. Granted he’s young. But, he has accomplished much.
I would never vote for something just because they have ‘the gift of gab’.
OTOH, don’t discount the ‘gift of gab’! It’s an important skill for a president. Look at how bush turns people off just because he cannot speak. Clinton, I think, has challenges, different challenges to be sure, but challenges with her speeches. She doesn’t have the ability, I think, to rise people up. She had so many people supporting her at the beginning of her run, including me, and she just couldn’t keep them. And, not only because Obama has the ‘gift of gab’.
