don’t cry for me, Hillary Clinton
After Barack Obama shocked the presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton by winning the Iowa Caucuses the pundits wrote her off.
Then Hillary Clinton made a savvy political calculation; she displayed a rare thing for her, vulnerability. It seemed real. She appeared fragile. Her eyes welled with tears. Then, she threw back Obama in New Hampshire.
That seems like a million years ago. Obama has run off a string of 8 straight wins over the past 2 weeks. Since Hillary won California on Super Tuesday she hasn’t had a whole lot to smile about. She had to loan her campaign 5 million dollars while the surging Obama campaign is rolling in dough.
Now some pundits are predicting that she has to win in both Texas and Ohio to stay in this battle. The Ohio primary is on March 4. That seems like a million years from now.
The Obama surge is the one surge that seems to really be working? His campaign is energized. Hillary’s spouse Bill Clinton has been muffled of late. Michelle Obama is making fiery speeches.
How can Hillary Clinton turn this thing around?
Heeeere come those tears again…..
The Democratic Party seems on the verge of deserting the candidate who once acted like she had the nomination all locked up.
It’s my Party and I’ll cry if I want to!
How did things come to this?
You would cry too if it happened to you!
So, can we expect the floodgates to open? Perhaps, but not just yet. Recent polling shows that Clinton still holds a large lead over Obama in Ohio. It needs to be said however that she once held a huge lead over him nationally. That has been reduced to nothing. It is a dead heat.
Cry-y-y-ying, over you! Cry-y-y-ying, over you!
No matter how you slice it, this battle for the Democratic nomination has turned into that most unusual of scenarios in modern American presidential politics, a race!
I can’t wait to see what happens next?
Heeeere come those tears again…..
Sometimes tears are not enough…..

After her 10th straight defeat can we expect some vulnerability right about now? How does that song go? “Tears are not enough.”By Page Turner

C’mon people get over it. No wonder the fascists usually win. They’ve got you all drawing lines about who offers the most “hope”. Bite your lip and vote for the D nominee. If not then be happy contributing to Karl Rove’s final solution. I’m damn tired of all the crap about Hillary being a baby killer and Obama not being black or liberal enough. All your doing is giving aid and comfort to the real enemy.By victor mickunas

Well, Das…that’s great that you agree with yourself! Since you are also Jasb? You sound more like a Romney supporter, trying to have it both ways? If all McCain supporters were allowed to vote twice he might stand a chance?By das

I agree with Jasb. If Hillary doesn’t win, I’ll be voting for John McCain. Many of my fellow democratic friends have decided to do the same thing.By Jasb

A sad and silly article. The reality check is that everyone must decide sometime in their life if they want to be somebody or do something. O’bama has decided he wants to be somebody, Hillary has always wanted to do something. I’ll take substance over O’Bama’s vacuous and messianic chanting any day. And if not, millions of my like minded moderates will end up putting McCain in the White House. At least we know where he stands.
