What Next Hillary?
Posted by roderick on March 22, 2008It has been the week of revelations and “gates”. “Pastor Wright-Gate”, “Passport-Gate” and now “back to the past-gate” with revelations of Hillary’s disingenuous assertions that she is eminently and extraordinarily qualified to lead as Commander in Chief. She also told the voters in Ohio that she has always consistently been against NAFTA when the written documentation of her record would suggest something completely different.
I am incredulous as I wonder how stupid does she really think Americans are? It is absolutely incredible to see just how little respect she has for us. Mind-blowing!
When she was supposedly getting close up experience in foreign affairs matters (not like Bill was a foreign policy Tour de Force) she was actually sipping tea and eating crumpets. She was visiting flower gardens and hospitals while Bill was telling the Sudanese to release Osama Bin Laden.
Eye witnesses have stated that they personally attended meeting sponsored by Hillary promoting the acceptance of NAFTA. Hillary fooled the voters of Ohio but she can’t fool all of America. It is clear why the Clinton campaign has stalled and dragged it’s feet and done everything possible to prevent the release of Clinton’s papers during that time. They are still trying to prevent the further release of additional documents that would no doubt eliminate Hillary from any further consideration.
Additionally, she must be smarting at the latest Gallup Poll indicating that despite the difficult week Sen. Barack Obama has had, he is once again leading in the national polls. Read here…
Even the liberal blogs are dogging Hillary. Mathematically, she CAN NOT WIN yet she continues to hang on for God only knows why. Both candidates will ultimately need the support of the Superdelegates to win the nomination. Superdelegates will want to reflect the will of the people and will risk severe rebukes and criticism if they don’t. With Obama ultimately leading in the delegate count, popular vote, and number of states won, they will face a serious problem if they yield to Clinton influence and don’t support Obama.
Clinton of course will contend that she is more electable but it is not yet clear if she will have polling data to support her assertions. If Superdelegates give in to her, we will witness a very serious backlash of Obama voters who will feel disenfranchised and robbed. They will claim that Obama was robbed of the nomination and Hillary will not be able to rely on their votes. In fact recent data indicates that 1 in 5 Obama voters will vote for McCain if Clinton is nominated. The same poll indicates that 1 in 10 Clinton voters will vote for McCain if Obama is nominated.
Conclusion? Hillary…
can…
not…
win…
End of story.
