Hillary Agonistes

So, as all the world - apart from Hillary Rodham Clinton - now knows, it's going to be Obama. Poor Hill has yet to speak, suffering as she is from a bad case of cognitive dissonance. You see, the thing is, she was the winner, there was no other scenario - simple really - what part of that did Barack not understand? But now she's faced with an Obama victory. Does not compute, does not compute...
As far as I'm concerned, the gilding is flaking off Barack at an alarming rate now, and I suspect I'll end up, with the great Frank Wilson, among the totally disenchanted. I'm also pretty sure he'll lose against McCain. As for Hillary, she will utter, it seems, on Saturday. Whatever she says, one thing is for sure - if she's offering to be deputy, Obama would be mad to take her on. Buy Hill and you get one free Bill thrown in - imagine what that toxic twosome could do, so near to the centre of power. Let them occupy themselves in planning Hill's 2012 campaign - the one in which she wins the nomination and the Dems lose the election yet again.

  1. And dear lord, what about her Robert Kennedy remark?! A genuinely nasty piece of work. Apparently Obama's going to be treating her as a 'special case' when he chooses his running mate - by 'special' I hope he means 'no effing way'. And say what you like about Barack, but he's far more inspiring than anything we have this side of the pond...

  5. Obama is a decidedly good thing. Frankster is in a minority here, Nige, trust me. I wish Obama would put Hillary on as V.P. (she's already said she'd like to be considered), but it's unclear if he'll do that. However, if he doesn't, there are a lot of disenchanted female Hill supporters who say they won't vote.

    Oy. It's always something. But if the Dems manage to lose it again, I think we can kiss this country goodbye. We can't survive another several years of hawkish misrule.
