Hillary Clinton: positively unpresidential

Sunday, February 24th 2008, 4:00 AM


No matter the office or the candidates, all campaigns usually arrive at a moment of clarity. The cotton-candy clouds of confusion part and we suddenly see that one person is connecting with voters and looks better suited for the job.

That moment is upon us in the Democratic race for President, and for backers of Hillary Clinton, it is not a pretty picture.

Although she is desperate for a big win, Clinton has frittered away almost three weeks in astonishingly trivial pursuits. It's as though her computer blew a fuse after Super Tuesday on Feb. 5 and she doesn't know what to do. Or who she wants to be.

Internal campaign feuds are becoming public, she is running low on cash and the message changes as often as Hillary's pantsuits.

One day the media is blamed for letting Obama off easily and the next day voters are accused of being fooled by his charisma. Bill Clinton is Mr. Everything one day and Mr. Invisible the next.

1. Hillary didn't have very good campaign personnel

they have been all over the place and it shows!

2. My problem is all the yelling she has been doing.

And the shaking of fingers at us and the "shame on you" routine.

Very unappealing in a President of the United States.

Its my version of "conduct unbecoming".

4. Wonder if Stephen Speilberg has buyer's remore?

The mention of "campaign donors" made me flash on Speilberg's early fundraising in LA..and David Geffen(another partner in Dreamworks) veering off for Obama:)

"Most revealing is that Hillary herself now seems determined to aim low, a conclusion that was painfully obvious at Thursday's Texas debate. In a showdown she had to win, she bet the night on a cheap attack that Obama plagiarized some of his speeches and thus has a disqualifying character defect.

To say the logic is a stretch doesn't do it justice. No surprise then that Obama swatted the charge away, but she couldn't let go. "It's not change you can believe in, it's change you can Xerox," she said in a rehearsed line that will have no imitators at the Oscars."

More references to hilary's drama coach not paying off.

This nation is toast.

Maybe BS has no need for the type of programs the opposition offers; let's hope she doesn't need them in the future.
