Hillary's comeback (WARNING: disturbing mental picture alert)
Charles Hurt, NY PostWASHINGTON - Hillary Rodham Clinton lost in Wisconsin last night - she's 0 for her last 9 - yet she managed to accomplish something that only political genius and obsessive determination could pull off. She survived. This very morning, she is picking herself up off the canvas, returning to her corner of the ring where Bill will brush Vaseline across the swollen cuts on her face. Hillary . . . Bill . . . Vaseline . . . Ick! FOR THE LOVE OF HEAVEN, MAKE IT STOP!!! Whenever they are about to lose, their minions spread word of giant, yawning point spreads and regale eager reporters with tales of woe and despair behind closed doors in Hillaryland. When it turns out to be just a nine-point loss - a shellacking by any standards - it doesn't seem so bad. It's is a trick favored by President Bush, who likes to be "misunderestimated." But the Clintons have raised it to an Olympic sport. That's why there will be no calls for Clinton to get out of the race after last night's obliteration in a state she led by double digits just a few months ago. Everybody already knew she would lose and has gotten used to it. But all this surviving does not change the math. She still can't win without playing the super-delegate aces she stuffed up her sleeve long ago - a move that will tear the party asunder. Posted by: Mike 2008-02-20 |
