Hillary’s Back In The Saddle Again

Posted by TRO on March 5, 2008

Or at least not gone yet.  This woman has been kicked around for decades, did you really think she was going to roll-over for a pup like Obama?

Of course he’s still got the momentum.  But if Hillary can pull this Ohio-Texas comeback in just a few days, what damage do you think she can do to his aura of invincibility/inevitability in, what, at least seven weeks?

I say a lot.

Combine it with a press that seems to be finally treating him like a candidate instead of a savior and he faces a much tougher road than he has seen so far.

I remind my readers that I don’t like either one. McCain, as liberal as he is on some things, would make the far better President of the USA and Commander in Chief.   

And I am torn as to which one of them - Obama or Clinton - would make the least damaging president if elected.  Clinton is just as much a socialist as Obama, but she I feel that she would be tougher on terrorism and, as far behind McCain as she is on experience in pretty much every way, she is still light-years ahead of Obama in pretty much every way.

So, I guess if I had to choose which new Socialist Overlord I would have to live under, it would be Clinton.

But let’s hope that doesn’t happen, shall we?

I should note that a lot of Republicans/conservatives voted for Hillary in these two primaries.  Good for them.  Keeping the Dems fighting for the next couple of months can only help McCain.
