Clinton Can't Win?

With only a few weeks remaining in the primary season, and just a handful of primaries left to go, it seems pretty clear to everyone that Hillary Clinton has almost no chance of winning the Democratic presidential nomination...to everyone except her, that is.

Despite being behind in the delegate votes and having to lend her campaign a tidy sum estimated to be over 11 million dollars (out of her own pocket), the former first lady seems to think she not only has a shot at the nomination, but that she is the only logical choice to go up against John McCain.

Needless to say, Barack Obama feels otherwise.

With the West Virginia primary, which she is expected to win handily, merely hours away, Clinton's campaign is dogged by allegations that some comments she made in regards to an AP article were latently derogatory and laced with racism...a charge her people vehemently deny. If nothing else, it takes some heat off Obama by giving people something to talk about besides Rev. Wright.

Though her argument that the Florida and Michigan primaries should be counted do represent a glimmer of hope, the sad specter of reality seems to looming closer and closer as the days go by. Defeat looks to be a certainty, with pundits pointing to Obama's nomination as a forgone conclusion.

Could it be that the once proud Hillary Clinton, who had the swagger of an incumbent when the primary process first got underway, may have to eat campaign losses of over 10 million dollars along with a slice of humble pie should she not win the nomination after all?

Was all her hard work and political positioning, dating back to her decision to run for Senator in New York instead of somewhere she had roots (Like Illinois, Arkansas, or Pennsylvania), for naught?

It just might be that the woman who fancied herself 'the comeback kid' may actually end up being the person who refused to go away until she had to be asked to leave the party (pardon the pun), and nobody likes being that person. Then again, this is politics...so you never know.

Stranger things have happened.

10 Other Things Hillary Clinton May Not Remember Correctly

In the wake of SniperGate (what if there's ever a political scandal involving fencing materials...will we have a Gategate?), perhaps Hillary's ability to recollect should come under scrutiny.

After all, she is in her 60's now, and this picture clearly shows she was a hippie...a pot smoking one, perhaps? As for Bill''s hillbilly-fro, maybe he did inhale.

Regardless, the President of The United States cannot be delusional...Bush proved that.

Let's examine some other things her memory may be a bit fuzzy on...


1. How she was the one to free the hostages in Iran in the 70's

2. How she invented the internet...not that Al Gore guy.

3. How she was the one to Free Willy

4. How to disclose her tax filings

5. How to bow out gracefully

6. How Stella Got Her Groove Back

7. Who shot J.R.

8. How she battled Godzilla and saved Tokyo.

9. Who shot the sheriff. ( she didn't shoot the deputy, though the case does remain unsolved.)

10. How she ever fell for a guy like Bill.

Obama Equals McGovern?

So Barack Obama wants to end the war in Iraq...so he thinks that going into deep debt to fight an illegal war may not be the prudent course for the leader of the United States of America to take...so he has a social conscience...this makes him George McGovern?

The right's flailing attempts to label any possible opposition as liberal demons intent on ripping apart the moral tapestry of the American way of life is so cliche that it barely merits mention. McGovern was labeled as someone who was in favor of "Amnesty, Abortion, and Acid" due to reports circulated about him wanting to legalize pot, forgive Vietnam draft dodgers and end the war, and supporting legal abortions...reports that were revealed to have been given by his own initial running mate, Thomas Eagleton, who ended up being an albatross around the McGovern campaign neck. The label, put forth by Robert Novak and meant to portray him in the worst possible light, dogged him for the entire campaign.

Nixon eventually won the White House, and you know the rest...criminal acts, cover-ups, subterfuge, talk of impeachment, etc., etc., etc. This is supposedly better than wanting to bring troops and POWs home, separating church and state, and relaxing a few archane drug laws? In the end, wouldn't the country had been better off if McGovern had won?

Hmmm. Maybe Obama is the new McGovern. Maybe that isn't such a bad thing after all.
