The latest from the Clinton campaign:
- McCain and she are read to be commander in chief, Obama isn’t
- “I won’t accept a caucus” in Florida (Hillary)–meaning, she would be comfortable seating delegates in a state where there was no campaigning (not to mention Michigan, where Obama was not on the ballot)
- The Obama campaign’s request for Clinton to release her tax returns means he is like Ken Starr
We know that Clinton is a hawkish and pro-business establishment politician, so it should be surprise that Obama is so threatening that she prefers McCain. But saying that either she must be the Democratic nominee or she would prefer a Republican is a remarkably destructive to her own party. In light of the fact that she can’t possibly win pledged delegates or the popular vote, it is all the more wanton.
A few conclusions:
- Clinton either is a conservative Democrat, Liebermann style, or she thinks pretending to be one will help win against Obama
- Clinton believes she is a victim
- Clinton is essentially unethical
These are a dangerous combination – (3) the most dangerous of all.
(Incidentally, it turns out that it was the Clinton campaign that reassured Canada over NAFTA).
