Is the Hillary Clinton campaign machine in the last throes of life? There is no mistaking a certain flailing, a lashing-out, as Hillary Clinton has become angry, mocking, and offensive in the last few days leading up to today"s Ohio debate- the 20th such debate and the LAST! Tonight is D-Day for the Hillary express. A kick off or the boot?
One such indicator of a failing campaign is the denial of any sense of reality. Harold Ickes as an example, gave the following description of Hillary Rodham Clinton"s prospects, "We"re on the way to locking this nomination down," he said of a candidate who appears, if anything, headed in the other direction. Locking it down? Get real!
The Austin Texas debate did not help Hillary. Will Ohio tonight?
Ickes added, while played the good cop role also said, "We think we are on the verge of our next up cycle," he reported, even suggesting the apparent impossibility that Clinton "may be running even" with Obama when all the contests are over. "This race is very close," he judged. "This is tight as a tick."
Someone get that man a cup of coffee and wake him up!
In case the Clinton camp missed something, Obama has won ELEVEN election contests in a row, is ahead in teh pledged delegate count, the total delegate count, and the popular vote. Granted, we have four primaries coming up next week with 400+ delegates at stake, but it"s doubtful those four will change much of the current trend if anything at all.
The Obama tsunami rolls on!
