My question being, what does the worthier Democrat candidate owe to Barry "Six States" Obama?
She's endorsed him for the sake of party unity; that's all she owes him.
And given the way she, and her supporters, were vilified, trashed, loathed, denigrated, abused, mistreated, humilitated, Hated, by the Obamaites and the Obamaite primitives, I think merely endorsing him is the outermost limit to what she "needs" to do.
You are right, Coach. While we're at it, why don't we look at what Hillary gains from B. Hussein Obama winning the election?
Six things:
1) Zero.
2) Zilch.
3) Zip.
4) Nix.
5) Nada.
6) Null set.
Why? BTW, I'm explaining this for any lurkers who have made watercraft themselves, and piloted them over here from Skins' Isle. The question of record is,
Why does Hillary gain nothing from B. Hussein Obama being elected President of the United States? The answer is,
Because Bill Clinton's dream of serving four terms in the White House will be dashed. Notice how I say
Bill Clinton, not Hillary. Bill Clinton is a lot smarter than most on my side give him credit for. There was zero chance that he would be able to get all of his "reform" agenda through Congress in only two terms. He would need a fillibuster-proof Senate to be able to do that, and the only way he'd get that would be to serve as long as possible--two terms as the President, and two more as the "First 'Dude.'" He was well on his way to accomplishing that a year ago. But, as Father Michael Pflager pointed out, "then, 'Hey--I'm Barack Obama,'" and Hillary and Bill mutter some things under their breath, so I can't directly quote them. But, suffice it to say that Obama's run that train of thought right off the rails.
Why on Earth would Bill and Hillary aid someone who dashed Bill's fervent hopes? If they help Obama and he wins, they get second fiddle, and Bill is
not going to play behind
anyone. If they
don't help Obama and he loses, they'll be blamed for the loss and they'll have zero shot at 2012. So, they're going to do as little as they can to appear to be helping Obama, when in fact they'll be burying the knife in Obama's back. Net result, as they hope it'll come out: Obama loses to McCain and Governor Palin. On November 5th of 2008, they begin their campaign for Hillary to assume the Presidency on January 20th, 2013 in earnest. And the campaign of 2012 will be
vicious.The thing is, Obama's people
know all of this. So, they're going to try to thwart Hillary by doing two things--one, attacking Governor Palin with all their might. "Their might" includes the full support and collusion of the so-called "mainstream media," when most of America sees the "MSM" for what they are--the furthering of Joseph Goebbels' propaganda operations for the Third Reich. Two, they're asking Hillary, in the interests of "party unity," to help them. Not just help them win the Presidency, but to help them actively thwart the Clintons' dreams.
Bill and Hillary will go at it for show. Not much else. All with an eye towards 2012.
