Bill & Hillary drop the ball big time!




Has Hillary blown it? Many, including my wife think she has. She sent Bill out to attack Osama and Bill does not attack well – he is a lover not a fighter.

The Clintons played the “race” card – very bad mistake. We expect Jesse Jackson to play the race card but not Hillary Clinton; Barack took the high road and won.

I am surprised at Hillary’s misstep since both her and Bill are so very smart politically; maybe they are getting just too old?

Can Hillary recover – I don’t think so. I think Obama is on a big time ROLL and he will be impossible to stop mainly because he is a UNITER (black / white -Republican/Democrat) and that is a powerful message that the country is very open to right now and is ready for after all the dissension Bush has sown in this country and around the world.

His inexperience does not seem to matter like I originally thought it would. Caroline Kennedy and her uncle Ted came out for Obama saying he (Obama) is just like John F Kennedy was; young, inexperienced but charismatic and ready to lead a new America, That is a powerful endorsement and Ted Kennedy said the endorsement was made possible because Hillary and Bill started playing so rough.

Bill and Hillary are just not an attractive presidential couple. Hillary is definitely brusque and hard to like. She is not a great speaker and she does tend a little too much to the left. Obama is staying in the middle for right now where he should be staying.

As Hillary and Bill get desperate, their message will become shrill and desperate sounding like it already had before she started sounding even more desperate.

We have a long time to go and it will be interesting to see how the game is played but Hillary has to change something dramatically to stay in the race.

At this point it appears the country is ready for a black president more than it is ready for a female president. That says something about us but I think it says more about the woman Hillary is or is not.

My brother-in-law who gets his news from FOX exclusively has told me he is voting for Obama. To me it means that Republicans do not have a prayer and that gender bias is still a deciding factor – so there – all based on my brother-in-law somehow representing the male, right wing horde in this country.
