Can It Be? Hillary Clinton's Downfall?


A great piece by Murray Sabrin here.


Hillary Clinton's downfall?
Posted by Murray Sabrin November 23, 2007 10:13AM

Why would the well oiled, highly disciplined Clinton for President Campaign, crash so quickly, when virtually all of the pundits have crowned her President Hillary Clinton as late as a week ago?

Clinton is not only trying to win her party's presidential nomination, she is also running a parallel general election campaign for the presidency in the fall. So instead of telling her fellow Democrats what she believes, Clinton is trying to run in the "center" now in order to appear "acceptable" to independent voters and disgruntled Republicans.
It will not work. The era of "spinning" may be over. Many voters want straight talk, heartfelt answers, not platitudes, from the candidates.
If Hillary believes in big government, from more government spending and control of healthcare to supporting the military-industrial complex, to preemptive war in Iran, she should stand up and let the world what is her vision for America

Hillary Clinton's brain trust is violating Bill Clinton's first axiom of politics, never look beyond the current campaign. If Hillary does not win the primary, will Bill tell her and the spinmeisters, "I told you so?"
