Clinton’s Waterloo?
Today we find out if the Hillary Clinton campaign is finished or still has legs. If she wins either or both of the two contested states today, this thing can drag on through more states. And in doing so, both Dems will be weakened and tenderized for McCain in the general election. If Obama wins both states, Hillary is done and Obama looks stronger.
But it’s no surprise that in the days before this critical election, Obama is starting to get hammered by stories in the press and intense questioning in press conferences. Hillary said she’d employ a kitchen sink strategy, and here it is. The Clinton operatives have planted as many negative stories as they can in the press. They even had Saturday Night Live pick on Obama while puffing her up at the same time (in one of the worst guest appearances I have ever seen). We’ll see if that works.
I have a feeling Hillary might squeak out one win today, probably in Ohio, and she will claim that’s proof she’s on a comeback.
There will be more and more pummeling of Obama if that happens, so by the time the Democrat convention comes down, it will be an ugly mess for them and they will have to paint on a smiley face of unity, but will limp into the general election where McCain has the opportunity whoever survived.
Quite frankly, The Dems aren’t looking as strong as they think they are. They may lose the election in spite of how badly Republicans have handled things in recent years.
