"Edwards's news has rivals mulling might-have-beens
While most Democrats and pundits try to divine what John Edwards's confession of adultery will mean going forward for the party, some Hillary Clinton partisans are looking back.
They wonder how confirmation of the affair would have changed the first Democratic presidential contest had it knocked Edwards out of the race.
"I believe we would have won Iowa, and Clinton today would therefore have been the nominee," former Clinton communications director Howard Wolfson told ABCNews.com yesterday, voicing the argument that Clinton's dominance would have been strengthened by a win in Iowa - not punctured by Barack Obama's surprise victory.
She still might be the way things are looking lately.
Instead, Obama won the caucuses with 38 percent of the vote, Edwards finished second with 30 percent, and Clinton ended up third with 29 percent.
Obama emerged as the front-runner, Clinton had to pull off a come-from-behind win in the New Hampshire primary to stay in the nomination fight, and the Democratic contest became a bitter, drawn-out battle that lasted until June 3.
Yeah, WTF? She steals NH and still can't win the nomination?
Entrance polls done for the TV networks, however, suggest that many Edwards voters would have gone for Obama instead (Boston Globe)."
Well, reality never stopped the delusional Clintonistas before, sooo.....
"Pundit faults Clinton, staff for mistakes in campaign
An article critiquing Hillary Clinton's ill-fated campaign says that her divided staff didn't serve her well, that she didn't make hard choices, and that she rejected her chief strategist's suggestion to go after Barack Obama on his "lack of American roots.""Above all, this irony emerges: Clinton ran on the basis of managerial competence - on her capacity, as she liked to put it, to 'do the job from Day One.' In fact, she never behaved like a chief executive, and her own staff proved to be her Achilles' heel," Joshua Green of The Atlantic magazine writes in the piece, which was posted online last night and appears in the magazine's September issue.
Then it is probably good she lost, since we were being sold a FICTION about the GREAT CLINTON MACHINE!!!
Green obtained a raft of internal memos, including one from strategist Mark Penn urging criticism of Obama's multicultural background. "It also exposes a very strong weakness for him - his roots to basic American values and culture are at best limited," Penn wrote. "I cannot imagine America electing a president during a time of war who is not at his center fundamentally American in his thinking and his values (Boston Globe)."
Translation: Obama is a TERRORIST, COMMUNIST or WORSE!!!!!
First McCain earlier, and now this shit slop from Hitlery!!!
Fuck them, and FUCK the CLINTONS!!!!!!!!!!!
