bill clinton, fade to grey

billary clinton just won’t go away. bill clinton has just nabbed a prime-time speaking spot on day 3 of this year’s democratic national convention. he follows hillary who will speak on day 2. and more notably, speaks before whomever will ultimately be obama’s running mate (aka, vp). are the clintons relevant? will they cause obama problems over the next 90 days? is machavellian bill willing to fade to black like previous presidents (see richard nixon)? bill clinton makes george bush the elder look like the dali lama every time he opens his big mouth.

john mccain leaves no email trail

although the headline for the uk paper, the daily telegraph screams, ‘john mccain technology illiterate,’ they fail to explore the finer points of mccain’s decision to remain partially in a digital black hole. as mccain prefers to rely on the phone, just like george w. bush, so unlike bill clinton and richard nixon, there will be no paper trail when (or if) john mccain gets into and leaves the white house.

billary clinton campaign tactic reverend wright

so what’s hillary clinton’s campaign up to? well, tagging barack obama as a candidate only for one minority group while slowly slicing the others away. here’s how their doing in this time around. 1.) trot geraldine ferraro out and let her claim sexism is worse than racism and accuse the media of reverse racism 2.) edit 30 second loops out-of-context of a 2 hour sermon and then hand them around to the media 3.) get your friends at the wall street journal to write about it. 4.) trot bill clinton out to do the TV rounds to deny that he’s injected race into the whole campaign and so on and so on. then watch the white american vote get wedged from barack obama. that’s a bit whatdick morris thinks. and he ought to know, he used to work for the clintons. forgive the typos.

obamamania and momentum

obama has swept the last 8 primaries and caucuses. he’s got the big mo and he’s hoping billary clinton will
get their alamo.

so the clintons are trying to go back to the playbook they pulled out in january as billary sought to win the new hampshire primary after a crushing defeat in iowa. basically, they are trying to say ‘boy, obama sure does give good speeches, but where are the details.’

there was a good article in the new york observer about 8 months ago with michael dukakis. remember him? well, he famously lost a 17 point lead to george bush the elder back in 1988. his campaign stump speech, much like billary’s, focused on how qualified and confident he was. in retrospect, he and a lot of dems realize the reason he lost, gore lost, and kerry lost –all against week republican candidates, is because they didn’t know how to give a really good stump speech and get people all riled up. they focused too much on details. which of course is important. but when you’re packing a stadium of 20K, like obama, don’t you want to give them something to take home and talk about?? and if you want the minute details you can go to barack obama’s website.

hillary loans her campaign 5 mill

so let’s do the math. billary clinton has been in the senate for almost 8 years. as a senator, she earns $165K before taxes. if we multiply that by 7, well i just don’t get 5M. so where did the money come from? her book advance, which if i remember correctly was around 4M. but those numbers are always inflated and could’ve been more like 2M.but we all know that bill clinton earns between 200K and 300K giving speeches. but according to campaign finance law, he is only allowed to donate $2300 to his wife’s campaign. if i remember correctly, hillary and bill left the white house in 2001 with so many legal bills, they were effectively a step above poor white trash. sure does raise a lot of questions. and is also making some of hillary clinton’s donors nervous.
