Hillary Clinton seems to be running her campaign right out of Karl Rove’s playbook. She’s obsessed at winning at any cost with no regard to how much damage she does to the party and the country. Her tactics pretty much guarantee a Republican win in November when she can praise McCain while attacking Obama:
In a live CNN interview just now, Sen. Clinton repeated, twice, the “Sen. McCain has a lifetime of experience, I have a lifetime of experience, Sen. Obama has one speech in 2002” line. By what logic, exactly, does a member of the Democratic party include the “Sen. McCain has a lifetime of experience” part of that sentence? (via Washington Monthly)
She’s now doing the Republicans job for them. Every poll has shown that she would lose against McCain while Obama would beat him. The Republicans have already chosen their candidate while the Democrats are still fighting. The longer this drags out, the less chance of a Democratic victory in November. If anything, Clinton is the one candidate who can unite the Republicans to insure a win for McCain.
That’s exactly what I thought too – Rove and Clinton, in some sort of symbiotic relationship that will screw the country if possible. He did leave the White House right when the primary campaign started to heat up.
