The Monster of the Middle Way

Filed under: 2008 elections — Jeff Pasley @ 5:34 pm

Apologies for missing a weekday or two there. Someone asked my prediction about the outcome of the Democratic race. I don’t really do predictions, but given the fact that Hillary Clinton seems prepared to destroy the universe rather than lose, I would guess I have to bet on her.  All I can say is that if she does win making all these flimsy “experience” claims about events where she showed for a photo-op and accusing Obama of things she is much worse about than he is (Rezko, NAFTA), she better be ready for the coming time, also known as roughly May to November 2008, when the media stops trying to prove they are not biased against her, snuggles back up to McCain, and starts picking up on the easy, already available refutations of most what she has said.

The post title is a mixed neo-liberalism/football joke. And she is from Chicago.

  1. Firing Powers was a mistake, Obama has shown himself to be subservient to the PIAPS.
    Great post. Obama’s aide was right. Hillary is a monster. Of course not the same kind of monster as Hitler, Mao or Stalin, but a monster nonetheless.

  2. I quite agree that Obama should not have let Powers go, though it seems like it may have been her idea. On the other hand, my personal campaign experience (see next post) left me with a pretty jaded view of how much campaign advisers whose names get dropped in the media really matter. President Obama would get Samantha Powers’s advice if he wants it, or not, irrespective of whether she is listed as an adviser on some web site. However, it would have been much more stand-up for Barack to just say: Hillary made my Pulitzer Prize winning foreign policy guru mad with her ridiculous smears, live with it. McCain and the Republicans will be calling her a lot worse.
