Won’t Somebody Tell Hillary….
Posted on May 20th, 2008 in Uncategorized |
…that she’s making a fool of herself?
She’s now saying that the Democratic campaign is “nowhere near over,” despite abundant evidence to the contrary.
Clinton, with few options left to claim the nomination, repeated her assertion yesterday that she leads in the popular vote - a calculation only possible if Obama’s victories in caucuses are discounted and if the votes are included from Florida and Michigan.
And, as Andrew Sullivan points out but the Boston Globe and the New York Times do not, even then Clinton only leads in the popular vote if you count her votes from Michigan and you don’t count Obama’s.
But why go that far? Those states’ votes shouldn’t be counted anyway, and Obama today will almost surely win enough delegates to give him a majority.
Hillary Clinton reminds me of Carrie White: First she wants to burn down the high school and kill all her classmates. Then she wants to thrust her hand out from the grave to pull the survivors down with her…..

Why go that far? She’s trying to justify for still asking for campaign contributions, that’s why.
This stuff just isn’t your metier, Richard, nor your readers’.
For example: no one voted for Obama in Michigan. He wasn’t on the ballot.
Anonymous, I’m pretty sure you’re wrong about Hillary’s motives, but since you give no evidence I don’t see any point in trying to win you over. You’re just riffing (and I know the feeling — but being well informed makes it more effective).
Whatever happened to that kid Goldenberg, by the way?

1 - Rich, political commentary may not be your metier, but that was a hell of a nice pop culture reference to Carrie.
2 - Amy Irving was so hot in that movie!
On the grammatical front, though, shouldn’t it be “…and the New York Times DOES not”?
Too bad SE doesn’t think political commentary is RB’s metier considering he does it for a living.
Too bad SE can’t simply say something and make it true.
Standing Joke, it’s “…but the Boston Globe *and* the New York Times DO not.”
“considering he does it for a living”
Last I checked Richard was going to go run a lifestyle magazine for very wealthy people.
