Two Things About Clinton

Posted in Election 2008 by Homo Ĺ’conomicus on March 23rd, 2008

What’s this weird sense of entitlement Clinton’s campaign exudes? Clinton is acting like it wouldn’t be fair if she didn’t get the nomination. What’s up with that? The rules are the rules. She’s playing dirty, it’s not sticking. She’s failing to get a rise out of Obama, and it’s making her look bad.

None of this is unfair, and her air of unjust injury is off-putting. It’s certainly not befitting a presidential bearing.

The other thing: if, as she claims, her years in the White House - all eight of them - count towards her political experience, then hasn’t she had her turn?

Would someone please tell Clinton she isn’t winning?

“It’s really a rare occurrence, maybe the first time in history, that the person who’s running No. 2 would offer the person who’s running No. 1 the No. 2 position,” Daschle said.

Thank you, Tom Daschle.
