Hillary Clinton: Ambition's Ladder

Hillary Clinton's tea and biscuits “exploratory” campaign video for the 2008 primaries was a little cheap and cheesy. Still that's what happens when you empty the Democrat coffers of $35 million to run a one horse senate race-right? It will also teach her for letting Murdoch host her fund raisers—yeah he's crazy ...like a fox. Many Democrats have never forgiven her for siphoning funds away from both Gore and Kerry's campaigns; subjugating the party's interests for her personal ambitions and helping Bush and Cheney into the White house not once but twice.

Now, even “The Hammer” himself, Republican Tom DeLay is cheering her on. Seriously, if that's not bi-partisan politics I don't know what is :)

I suppose if she can leverage her husband's campaign nous, refrain from any turetic outbursts and stop flip-flopping for longer than five seconds then she might survive a nomination. Then the Republican party can breath a sigh of relief knowing that her voter polarizing powers will do a better job than any swift boating they could ever pull.

In contrast, Obama's “exploratory” announcement is a convincing breath of fresh air in a climate of stale partisan politics and unbridled ambition. His consensus building grass-roots approach is America's best hope for a fresh and invigorated democracy. Coincidently, Barack has more public office experience than Hillary and Lincoln combined prior to attaining Presidential office.

Coinciding with their ringing endorsement of Hillary, the Republicans are beavering away preening Democrat lobbyists in Washington as part of their senate damage control strategy. You can almost guarantee that the political weapon of choice for the 2008 election will be a Republican engineered and security focused “October Surprise” that will aim to stun voters out of their apathy straight into the arms of; wait for it ...another Republican administration.
