Clinton is Over

I’m not a Frank Rich fan, but the partisan Democrat NY Times writer really lays it out why Hillary has lost the race. And it’s stunning just how bad a job she’s done. It’s a major indictment of her so called skills, that she has mishandled her campaign so badly. It really tells us what a failure she would have been if she had been elected.

It’s also telling how a former Clinton supporter, like Rich, could beat up on her like this. But he’s only being honest here. She really is that bad.

It also shows how so many Dems have turned their backs on the Clintons. Many of them finally see what an embarrassment they have been with all their myriad scandals and obnoxious behavior. They want a clean break. Obama seems to provide them with one.

It’s almost funny to see the Dems finally admit what others have been saying about the Clintons for years. It’s the closest you’ll ever see to Democrats admitting they were wrong. No matter how wrong Democrats are, they never do that. So this is one of those rare opportunities.

If Obama gets elected, watch a lot of Dems switch parties, as Obama is likely to be worse than Jimmy Carter.

UPDATE: Andrew Sullivan also chimes in. And he hits it squarely on the head.

Clinton is a terrible manager of people. Coming into a campaign she had been planning for, what, two decades, she was so not ready on Day One, or even Day 300. Her White House, if we can glean anything from the campaign, would be a secretive nest of well-fed yes-people, an uncontrollable egomaniac spouse able and willing to bigfoot anyone if he wants to, a phalanx of flunkies who cannot tell the boss when things are wrong, and a drizzle of dreary hacks like Mark Penn. Her only genuine skill is pivoting off the Limbaugh machine (which is now as played out as its enemies). Her new weapon is apparently bursting into tears. I mean: really.

I wrote a brief screed about Obama becoming president here if you’re interested:

I often wonder, too if the consequences of this election will result in a splitting of the parties. Along the lines of Liberal Democrats, Blue Dog Dems, RINO’s, Reagan or Goldwater Republicans, etc. It would certainly make thing more interesting.
