Clinton Campaign Crumbling From Within
The bitch’s campaign is doomed. Hussein packs arenas like some kind of messianic rock star.
It’s almost creepy.
No, scratch that, given his message, which is none, it is creepy.
MCALLEN, Texas — With Spanish music blaring, Sen. Hillary Clinton campaigned across South Texas yesterday with a more populist message, as her new campaign manager sought to reshape a campaign that has lost eight straight primaries in a week.
Maggie Williams, a confidante of Mrs. Clinton from when she was first lady, has moved to assert her control following the departure last weekend of former campaign manager Patti Solis Doyle. Ms. Williams is running a daily conference on what ads to put up and expanding the inner circle with advisers from the old Clinton White House.
But the campaign has something of a shellshocked feel, as staffers privately chew over a blowup last week where internal frictions flared into the open. Clinton campaign operatives say it happened as top Clinton advisers gathered in Arlington, Va., campaign headquarters to preview a TV commercial. “Your ad doesn’t work,” strategist Mark Penn yelled at ad-maker Mandy Grunwald. “The execution is all wrong,” he said, according to the operatives.
“Oh, it’s always the ad, never the message,” Ms. Grunwald fired back, say the operatives. The clash got so heated that political director Guy Cecil left the room, saying, “I’m out of here.”
On the trail yesterday, Mrs. Clinton denied there was any dysfunction or a somber mood in her campaign. “We have a tremendous amount of energy and focus. In fact, people are coming in, volunteering their time. If you look at what we’ve done on the Internet in the last week, supporters and contributors are really committed.” This, she said, “is the exciting part of the campaign where you really get down to saying, ‘OK, what are the differences?’”
Ms. Williams is pouring resources into two must-win states, Texas and Ohio, which vote March 4. Some advisers are looking even further out: to spring contests in Pennsylvania and Puerto Rico.
Mr. Penn yesterday released a memo saying that Mrs. Clinton leads in the “three largest, delegate-rich states remaining: Texas, Ohio and Pennsylvania.” He noted that they have 492 delegates, or 64% of the remaining total Mrs. Clinton needs for the nomination.

He might, ya know. Voters sometimes “just want something different”.
Hussein (Big Bird) in office will almost be unsurvivable.
(almost)
Hillary probably not as bad. Nothing to celebrate here.
She’s got one chance and very little time. Ditch the Left,
move to the Center right now, and rationally destroy his
insane rhetoric. Or lose.
My friend, its not about survivability…its about beat-ability in the general election. We want the toughest competitor to lose in the primary. In the long run, that would be Hillary. Then we want the Republican candidate to run over Osama after Osama’s “Night-and-Day” Wonder Boy status has evaporated. Once the hype is gone, Osama has only the race card to play and I’m betting it’ll look pretty cheap.
February 14th, 2008 at 9:36 amI won’t be voting for either Hillary or Obama. Obama, too naive on foreign policy and I think with the best of intentions sell us out to the Islamofacists. Hillary, because Bill either dropped the ball or didn’t completely take seriously the Islamic threat, I think would not want to have something like the preparation for another 9/11 on her watch. Hope neither gets elected, but, she’d be the lesser of two evils.
Something I just heard on a staged Obama campaign message on Rush, the line, “history, that’s so yesterday”. The voice was that not unlike that of a valley girl. Obama hasn’t a clue of the day before yesterday. It’s all about him, today.
February 14th, 2008 at 9:41 amThis is good news. McCain will crush Obama’s empty defeatest reteoric in the debates. I predict McCain wins the presidency in a landslide victory not seen since Regan beat Carter.
Why? Just imagine how well things are going to be in Iraq by November. The media really is starting to report a steady stream of good news from Iraq. Yet Obama, Pelosi, and Reid continue to say there is no progress.
Americans are winners, they would rather win a war than loose. The democrats have comitted their campaign hopes on us losing the war. Americans will not vote for defeat when victory is at hand.
Obama, go back to the senate where you belong and finish your FIRST term as a senator you fucking coward.
