For those unsophisticated types who think the earth circles the sun, please set aside the reflex for preconception to consider…The Clinton Rules:
Winning is the only option, even if it means changing legal agreements, mathematical theories, party regulations, the laws of physics, planetary alignment and any other variable.
The only election results that matter are the ones they say ‘matter.’
The only voters who matter are the ones they say ‘matter.’
The truth is a relative thing, which means it is only relevant when they say it is.
In addition to being experts on everything, only they get to define certain words (remember “is?”)…especially “electable.”
Economists, and their “principles,” are silly – especially when Hillary needs to pander.
Only big states matter, unless Senator Obama wins North Carolina on a night when she wins Indiana.
Michigan and Florida need her advocacy – even though she agreed with the sanctions that invalidated their primary results – because it is her prerogative to change her mind on a moment’s notice.
Hillary loves whiskey and beer – in front of cameras on the campaign trail – even if they are only consumed by Bill at home in Chappaqua.
Hillary can ask why Senator Obama can’t “close the deal” without explaining why she can’t get out of his rear view mirror in the overall race.
Reverend Wright presents a far worse problem for her opponent than all of the accumulated Clinton scandals plus those that have yet to be identified from the post White House years.
The fact that Barack Obama has won the most states, delegates and votes is meaningless because the Clintons have different scorecards – and those are the only ones that count.
When reality sucks, embrace denial.
There was sniper fire on that tarmac, until You Tube proved there wasn’t. By the way, did you happen to see those Reverend Wright clips while you were there?
At this point, I think she is sowing her seeds for an election in 2012. This involves being “behind” Obama, but trying to kick his feet so he’ll trip.
