This week’s primaries are being touted as Hillary Clinton’s comeback, but she barely won more delegated than Barack Obama did. According to CNN, she may have won about 25 more delegates. But the race is getting ugly – and Clinton is getting whacked in the media. Here are just a few examples of that:
- Did the Clinton campaign darken Obama’s face in a T.V. commercial? That theory is discussed in a post at the San Francisco Chronicle.
- Even in Victory, Clinton Team Is Battling Itself. Clinton’s advisers are turning on each other! Mostly they are trying to deny that her chief strategist, Mark Penn, is responsible for her alleged “comeback,” according to the Washington Post.
- Oh, please. Nothing sinks an Idol, er, candidate, like smugness. The L.A. Times takes a whack at both Democratic candidates, but who is more smug than Hillary?
- It’s your call, Hillary. Here it is at last, Hillary, a genuine test of your ability to lead in a dangerous world. It’s too late for you to win the Democratic nomination — but if you stay in the race, you can sure help Obama lose the White House. What are you going to do? (L.A. Times)
- Democrats fear an ugly end to race. The question no one in the blue party wants to ask – If Obama loses, will ANY of his supporters support Hillary? I think she will lose a huge chunk of Obama’s followers. Ralph Nader and John McCain will feast on defectors from the Democratic ticket!
I have said it before and it bears repeating – the Republicans would LOVE for Hillary to be the Democratic nominee. If the Democrats are stupid enough to crown her, I think we can practically assure the victory for McCain. How much do the Democrats want the White House back? We will find out in a few weeks. Memo to Pennsylvania Democrats – vote for Hillary at your own risk.
Unless Ralph Nader pulls off an upset victory, Another Republican will hold the office of president.
Public agrees – Art Pedroza is bad news
There have been polls asking if Obama supporters would support Clinton if she gets the nod. Apparently the millenimum kids have said they would not vote in Nov.
Isn’t that so millenimum. If you don’t get your way, pout and walk away. And these are the future guardians of our Republic.
Ron Klain, NYT, Campaign Stop weighs in with this thougtful editorial.

Art,
You should have seen how many photos of Obama on the Huffington Post were darker than the one’s in HRC’s ad. Obviously the author of the article was projecting himself just like you always do, Art.
And, as far as smugness goes, anyone see a resemblance of gestures in Obama with Bush?
Flip flop, Art. Only you, a “former” republican, actually think democrats will vote for McCain or Nader when HRC wins. Not true. A true democrat will vote democrat, “no matter what.” A true democrat will not vote for Nader, “no matter what.” However, a “republican turned democrat after Bush” will vote for McCain or Nader if the democratic nominee can’t fend off personal attacks and deliver strategies for proposed issues.
HRC for President!
Mary
Art –
