Hillary Clinton: U.S. to blame for much of Mexico violence

Finally, a cabinet member is stating the obvious truth.
An “insatiable” appetite in the United States for illegal drugs is to blame for much of the violence ripping through Mexico, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on Wednesday.
Legalization, as someone said, is the least bad choice to make here, and would certainly stop the drug [...]

Unity. Clinton tells supporters she will strongly support Obama

Email to supporters from Hillary Clinton
On Saturday, I will extend my congratulations to Senator Obama and my support for his candidacy. This has been a long and hard-fought campaign, but as I have always said, my differences with Senator Obama are small compared to the differences we have with Senator McCain and the Republicans.
I have [...]

Aftermath to Hillary Clinton’s non-concession

Jimmy Carter: Hillary as VP would be “worst mistake”
Dean, Pelosi, Reid set Friday deadline for superdelegates’ choices, move to force end to Clinton bid
CNN’s Jeffrey Toobin called her refusal “deranged narcissism,” while Huffington Post blogger Tom Hayden labeled it “political schizophrenia.”

Concession speech coming?

NPR just reported that Hillary Clinton will be giving a major speech Tuesday night in New York and quoted Obama as saying she’s run a superb campaign and he and she will be working together in November.

All over but the shouting for Hillary

Top party officials want her to bow out soon, and campaign insiders are losing faith in her strategy.
Obama nows leads Clinton among Democrats in California by 13% – and he lost the state by 9 points in Feb.
Speaker Pelosi directly warned Clinton supporters to avoid “”scorched-earth strategy” and said she will directly intervene soon if [...]

Scathing response from all sides on Clinton RFK assassination comment

Keith Olbermann says it all, detailing Clinton’s repeated and despicable attempts to bring up the possibility of assassination of Obama.
A senator — a politician — a person — who can let hang in mid-air the prospect that she might just be sticking around in part, just in case the other guy gets shot — has [...]

Too funny

From the always fun Colin McEnroe.
So Hillary compares herself to Rocky?
Yes, she does.
I’m stealing this idea from a caller to my show, but … does Hillary know the plot of “Rocky?”
He loses to a black man.

Hillary Clinton: The new Wilma Flintstone?

From D.C. Current at Barron’s (might be firewalled)
Compared to Barack Obama’s Web-savvy campaign, Hillary’s is downright prehistoric. Picture Wilma Flintstone trying to best child-genius Jimmy Neutron in a race for class president. Clinton needs the party’s 18-to-30-year-olds to secure the nomination, but has no idea how to reach them.
Texas is just too tech-savvy for the [...]

Hard cop, soft cop from the Clintons

“They need to send him out of the country for a long, long time. I am angry at Bill Clinton and I think there are other Hillary people who are angry at Bill, who felt that she was running a very good, solid campaign — she wasn’t the exciting one, but she was the solid [...]

“She’s behind. Make no mistake. If she lose either Texas or Ohio, this thing is done.”
– James Carville, quoted by the Orlando Sentinel, on Sen. Hillary Clinton’s prospects.

Meanwhile the Hillary Denial Syndrome continues, as she says all these defeats were expected and are just part of the grand master plan.

Fibonacci curves and the Democratic primary

At the heart Obama’s campaign was the decision to be great at retail. At the heart of the Clinton campaign as the call to be great at corporate.
Her heart was never really in retail or the web. She is more comfortable in the cozy world of elites.
So now, as in all natural systems, [...]

Hillary and attack politics

“The Clinton presidential campaign’s apparent blind ambition for power runs the risk of destroying Clinton’s reservoir of earned political integrity and affection among black people.”
– Clarence B. Jones, the former personal counsel, advisor and close friend of Dr. Martin Luther King:

Remind me again why Hillary is different from Dubya. It’s the same scorched earth policy against [...]

Latest Rasmussen poll: Obama +10 over Clinton in NH

The poll
Meanwhile Bill Clinton said media bias against Hillary will force them to go negative against Obama. They really are despicable aren’t they? Let’s hope the Divisive Duo get derailed, and soon, as their banging the rattle on the high chair in anger is already becoming tiresome.
