“the Democratic Party will reward her for that in 2012?”
Just the opposite: the Democratic Party , in her view, would be rewarded by a Clinton victory, in the sense, that the Clintons would not punish it with one more defeat.
The Clinton behave and believe as if this party was theirs

@goodgirlroxie — When you talk about “getting weirder and weirder about doing/saying anything” I totally agree. Hillary used this manufactured “bitter” controversy to question whether Obama “looks down on real Americans” or words to that effect. Then at the debate on ABC, she was the one to raise Obama’s connection with a former Weatherman, saying “this is the kind of thing the Republicans will use” as if the words hadn’t just come from her own mouth.

I admired Hillary earlier in the campaign and was torn for a while who to vote for, but she’s driven me away from her with her cynical opportunism. She’s gone so far in it now that she is campaigning for the Republican nomination, not the Democratic one. Let’s just say I’m glad she helped me make up my mind before my state, North Carolina, votes on May 6.

@leblase — What I don’t get about this scenario is that if Clinton succeeds in so weakening Obama that he loses to McCain in November, does she really think the Democratic Party will reward her for that in 2012?

Clinton’s strategy is now clear: she knows the Democratic nomination is out of her reach, so if Obama wins, she’s out for 8 years and her career is over.
If McCain wins over Obama, then she’ll find herself in a position where she should be able to stand for the Democrats in 4 years.

This would not even BE a controversy if Sen. Clinton’s campaign hadn’t decided to seize on it in a last-ditch effort to convince anyone who’s still sittin’ on some fence somewhere in Podunk-Land that Obama would be baaaaad and co-Presidents Rodham-Clinton and Clinton would be goooood for the world. Clinton’s judgment as she becomes willing to get weirder and weirder about doing/saying anything to get the nomination should be the controversy we’re all talking about right now.

And of course the corporate-controlled media will always have a full camera crew standing by for any mud-wrestling event. And this is one; they’re just having a hard time gettin’ the mud to stick on our darker-skinned celebrities.

Thanks for the book suggestions you lft at my site a couple days ago. I’m busy finishing up some income-generating work right now, so have little time for the real stuff, but wiil in a day or so.
