Well the Pennsylvania primary is nearly upon us and the nuttiness of the once-vaunted Hillary Clinton for President campaign is ratcheting up a few more notches. She needs unattainable numbers to look like a viable candidate to the super-delegates once the remaining primaries and caucuses are over. To her and her advisers, the only way to do that is to do to Obama what Tonya Harding did to Nancy Kerrigan so long ago. The only bad thing about it though is that it can come back to bite you and in politics, make you look like a giant hypocrite.
From Bloomberg:
``Either Democrat would be better than John McCain,'' said Obama, at the end of a town hall meeting in Reading, Pennsylvania, ahead of Tuesday's primary in that state. ``And all three of us would be better than George Bush.''
Illinois Senator Obama's comment was a departure from his scripted remarks. He has spent the weekend sharpening his case against presumptive Republican nominee McCain and the Democrat he must first defeat, New York Senator Hillary Clinton.
Clinton quickly seized on Obama's statement and incorporated it into her rally in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. ``Obama said today that John McCain would be better for the country than George Bush,'' she said. ``But Senator McCain would follow the same failed policies that have been so wrong for our country the last seven years.''
Um, yeah, thanks Senator Clinton for that brilliant remark. At least on the Democratic side, we do know that John "McSame" McCain would be another disaster following the current Bush disaster. My problem with you saying that is...first of all, Obama is mostly right that (or at least I hope) that no one can touch the ridiculousness that is/was George Bush. More importantly though, it wasn't too long ago that you called McCain "a good friend and a “distinguished man with a great history of service to our country. Both of us will be on that stage having crossed that threshold."
Isn't amazing how her tune can change from moment to moment? Well, if you have been following her campaign, it isn't too surprising.
