Another Blow

Not just to Hillary, but to the GOP as well.

Hillary hied her ass directly into her rental jet the moment the polls in South Carolina closed. The writing was on the wall and she knew it. Results:

1. Obama

2. Clinton

3. Edwards

Yes, Barack Obama delivered another roundhouse kick to the sagging (sorry, read: experienced) jowls of the Hillary Regime.

This is SO not in keeping with The Great Plan. The Great Plan consisted of one sole strategy: Hillary Clinton running roughshod over any competitor, supported by every Demorat, for two primary reasons: 1) She is a Clinton and 2) She thusly deserves it. She honestly and truly believes: she is owed this Presidency.

The problem is this: Hillary is simply a polarizing entity within the Demorat party. She is (as I have bleated forever) insufficently Left for The Left. Because of this polarization, if she wins or loses it will not be by a wide margin.

Because of this innate polarization, I submit that Hillary is more inherently "beatable" by the GOP than Barack Obama. And I will tell you, in the most base terms, precisely why:

1. Hillary doesn't have a lock on what's left of "feminists";

2. When Hillary opens her mouth, it's reminiscent of nails screeching on a chalkboard;

3. No one admires thick ankles;

4. She wields power in its most abject fashion and people recognize this on a subliminal level;

5. Many will hold for Hillary when, in fact, in the back of their brains they still want Bill;

6. Hillary represents Old School;

7. Obama represents New School;

8. Obama doesn't spew Black Urban Gutterspeak;

9. He's White enough to not be immediately threatening on the first-glance-surface;

10. He is well-groomed, wears a suit, has a presence;

11. He doesn't have a southern accent; that in and of itself kills Edwards and killed Thompson;

12. People are so OVER with ANYONE possessing a so-called "southern accent";

And here is what I think appeals to a good number of persons about Obama:

Obama is a vacuum. Obama is whatever you want him to be. Obama conforms to whatever your general Left-Leaning brain envisions. He is an empty vessel to be filled with what exists in your brain, in your world. Because he has been sufficiently nebulous on the issues, in order to acquire the greatest amount of appeal.

He is a younger, darker Bill Clinton: dynamic, a presence, willing to be what you want him to be when you want him to be it. Anyone remember what Joe Biden said about Obama?

So: could the GOP beat Hillary? Yes, I believe that is possible.

Could the GOP beat Obama?

The bulk of the electorate, quite frankly, votes its emotive gut. Bottom line: who is more likeable? Hillary or Obama?

I think we can all do the math on that one.

P.S.

On the GOP side, it still amazes me that we are leaning towards a doddering liberal, John McCain. Michael Medved, a man I once respected, is simply wrong.
