Spending her cashpolyanarchFebruary 7 2008, 18:10:52 UTC
Hillary is already lagging far behind Obama in fund-raising and just lent her own campaign war-chest 4-million from her personal Whitewater fortune. It's looking ugly and a bit dry for the old crone while the money is rolling into Obama's pretend-change machine like a torrent. If her fund-raising doesn't turn around soon she's going to run out of steam and bankroll in weeks and not months while Obama sprints ahead. NOW is the time where money matters and the ability to keep momentum up will separate the winners from the also-rans. I feel that Hillary has a real battle here in the next few weeks and following her finances will be the key to understanding who wins the democratic nomination.
As for Bill's creditials, I think he pretty much lowered himself to many of those who felt his actions on the campaign trail last month were below the standard that most Ex-Presidents have comported themselves with. Bill truly still believes he is not only Teflon but, in fact, bullet-proof. I don't think we live in the same political enviornment in the 21st century that Clinton was able to thrive in back in the 90's.
What really will be the wildcard in this next election is the economy. It is worse than the fed is admitting, we shall see if it begins to topple in time to be a major player in the election -unlike the war which is now a non-issue as the only non pro-war candidate left in the running is only getting 10% of the votes. The rest of the country is on the pro-war side by the way the primary is shaping up with both the Democratic candidates being solidly pro-Iraq war as the two Republican front-runners. So much for the "public has spoken" 2 years ago.
