She Needs a Fork! Or Does She?

I say Hillary is done. So do most others paying attention, at this point

Hillary failed to show strong enough in Indiana, and Obama cleaned her clock in North Carolina. This puts her campaign now officially into “sputtering but indignantly fighting to still seat Florida and Michigan” mode.

The DNC is left now with the task of cleaning up their pathetic mess created by Howard Dean concerning their fumbling attempt to punish those two States. Were it not for Dean and Florida/Michigan, I am not sure Obama would have survived to this point. More on that below, and how the scars from Wright would have made a difference earlier.

The aftermath will be interesting to watch, because they have to unite a party now. How do they create a situation where Hillary can get out honorably? Can the loser lose graciously at this point?

I think not, and- wait a minute…

John McCain is now taking public funds for the election- to the tune of about $84 million.

Yes, I know, I know… it is ironic that Mr. Campaign finance reform can’t make money, while Democrats can. In a year where we have an unpopular war (that ‘popularity’ depends on “success”, and few of us can determine how to adequately define that), rising gas prices, and a recession in the making, it is no surprise that a Republican would have a hard time raising cash.

It has been intimated that Obama claimed HE would take public funding if the Republican candidate agreed to. But we know how things like that go. What is said today by a Democrat is quickly changed by tomorrow. One might even claim that the Democrat party is the “Woman’s Prerogative” party… always reserving the right to change one’s mind; or story; or plea.

When one considers the political faux pas’ of the two jokers on the left; when one considers the inexperience of Obama, and the fake experience of Hillary; when one considers the lies concerning their history; when one considers close ties to racists— it is absolutely perplexing the amount of money Obama, and yes, even Hillary have been able to raise.

One might claim that they have raised record levels of cash due to record levels of interest and sharp political tactics. I would say that the only thing they have raised is the interest of a party of fools…

…and we know what they say about fools and money.

While the groundswell of money from the left is impressive, we must simply remember that even rich fools will falter. Money cannot save stupidity, buy a reputation, or create a history of experience.

Drawing Out the Rats

In listening to John McCain in an interview with Hannity, it dawned on me that Fox has a unique opportunity to influence the democRATS, namely Obama and Clinton, who are avoiding the network like the plague. Look at that - plague and rats in the same sentence.

Ironically, the same party (Democrat) that from time to time hints about something called the ‘fairness’ doctrine is also led by politicians who run like chickens from, well, ‘FOX’es when it comes to dealing with Fox news. They want fairness, but not in a free market. They are well aware that Fox doesn’t “play fair” by asking hard probing questions which puts them in compromising situations. Fox asks follow up questions when you dodge the question or fail to answer it. Fox plays - um - hardball. I guess Chris Mathews is going to have to come up with a new name for his show.

Anyway- I digress, so back to the ‘idea’.

Fox has access anytime to McCain, of course. And Fox has to be careful that they don’t show favoritism to McCain, as they are somewhat required to offer “equal time”. But wait a minute! What if you are having trouble not only making the horse drink, but getting him to the water as well?

Clinton and Obama surely have been asked repeatedly to come to Fox. Any show. They dodge for the aforementioned reasons. But, Fox is NOT obligated to

Obama Intends to Enlighten Us

Barack Obama has made it clear that he intends to give a speech on Wednesday, in which he will probably try his damndest to distance himself from Pastor Wright. Expect to hear the word “former” a lot in this speech.

Obama won’t answer questions about the Pastor at this point. Even after his speech, he does not intend to answer questions. I don’t find this transparent; I don’t find this mature or manly; and I don’t find this avoidance of taking questions to be very courageous. Obama knows that answering questions keeps it alive, and he just wants to kill this as soon as possible. But avoiding answering questions will hurt him, this time.

Obama said “I think

Obama and Clinton Ticket?

Plenty of rumor revloving around the hints and subliminal signals from Hillary suggesting that some kind of joint ticket deal is a possibility. I am amazed at how many of the more solid GOP pundits actually are falling for that one. The possibility is about ZERO, as I have said before.

Why? Not because they could not win. Not because it would not be beneficial to their party. And not because Hillary would not suggest it or benefit from it.

The reason is, Obama
