ONE DOWN, TWO TO GO
« on: May 09, 2008, 08:21:18 AM »
Ann makes a good point here.  Hillary's defeat certainly is largely (although I don't think wholely) due to the fact that the country is simply tired of the Clintons and of Bill in particular.  I've watched in amazement on how the media (such as it is) tries to play up his involvement as a positive for her.

ONE DOWN, TWO TO GO
May 7, 2008

Well, it looks like it's the end of the road for Hillary. Time for her to pack up her pantsuits and go back to -- wherever it is she's pretending to be living these days. Now we just have to get rid of the other two. Perhaps if I endorse Obama ...

This week, Bill Clinton lost his second presidential election for a protege.

Ronald Reagan was so popular, he not only won a 49-state landslide re-election for himself, but he also won a symbolic third term for his boob of a vice president, George Herbert Walker Bush (who immediately blew it by breaking his own "no new taxes" pledge).

By contrast, in addition to not being able to get half the country to vote for him in two tries, Clinton's connection to any other presidential candidate spells utter doom. Both his vice president and his wife have been defeated in elections they should have won, but lost because of their unfortunate association with him. The country has spoken. It wants to be rid of the Clintons.

This country was never in love with the Clintons.  Clinton is the only president to serve two terms without getting at least 50% of the vote either time. 

Hillary's problem - beyond getting the nomination - is that Ross Perot is to old to run third party as her buffer.  I think even the Clintons have forgotten that Bill would have been crushed in 1992 without the collusion the Clintons arranged with Ross Perot.
