She is in complete free fall now, meaning we will find out very soon if Barack is the new Reagan, or simply "New Coke".<BR/><BR/>When political analysts start poking through the wreckage of her campaign, I am convinced that they will find that she jumped the shark the moment Bill played the race card in South Carolina. That was a monumentally dumb decision that galvanized the youth and black vote behind Obama, and made Hillary look like an artifact of the past instead of an agent of change. <BR/><BR/>It is SO nice to see both the Clinton machine shut down, and to see Bill's reputation tattered, all in one shot. I have a feeling that the price Bill can command on the lecture circuit just went down a bit.Dennis Prousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01117649570711228161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13900996.post-24389478298575488642008-02-07T14:20:00.000-05:002008-02-07T14:20:00.000-05:00Oh yes, I saw that!Oh yes, I saw that!Joan Tintorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12310221026999893117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13900996.post-55800959901139953442008-02-07T14:09:00.000-05:002008-02-07T14:09:00.000-05:00That is indeed unfair to Nixon. The better compar...That is indeed unfair to Nixon. The better comparison for Hillary can be found in the movie, "Election". There is a great video done by Slate, comparing Hillary Clinton to a grown up version of Tracy Flick. Do you remember the part where Tracy Flick does a soliliquy expressing her anger with the Johnny-come-lately who is spoiling her rendez-vous with destiny? In this video, they splice in shots of Barack Obama. :-)Dennis Prousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01117649570711228161noreply@blogger.com
