In reply to the discussion: WSJ: "Clinton Might Not Be the Nominee" [View all]Peace Patriot
(24,010 posts)18. Doug Schoen is not an RW source. He's a Clinton supporter!
(Schoen) has worked on the campaigns of many Democratic party candidates including Ed Koch and Bill Clinton,[2] and on behalf of corporate clients. He also did work for Senator Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign and following her defeat became associated with the People United Means Action movement of disaffected Clinton supporters who refused to support Barack Obama.[7][8] Schoen was a consultant for Jeff Greene in the 2010 Florida Senate election.

That's why I think this post is so interesting. He was so pissed that Hillary didn't win in '08 that he refused to support Obama. And now he's saying Clinton may not get the nomination, when the Clinton campaign theme--and the only thing she's ever really had going for her--is her "inevitability"?
What kind of burr does he have up his nose? He didn't get hired this time? Could be. But he may also know stuff. He's a political insider fish with long feeler tentacles and lethal fins.

So what? He could win California by 20% and still not have a prayer at being nominated.

The polls have been spot-on. Especially the exit polls! Can't wait to see the California exit polls.

They cheer the loudest for him when he can't win, and yes, as a Bernie supporter,

Why do people post articles by right-wingers writing in right-wing news sources?

Strange, indeed, that anyone would post a CLINTON OPERATIVE's article at DU!

I didn't say I liked Schoen. And I did know about his escapade in Venezuela.
