It's the Match Game..with gasoline.... waist deep in it.
Waist deep in gasoline.. each has a handful of matches... so far only one is lighting matches


This is the dilemma ..


Match #1....
HRC infers that BHO "might be a Muslim..she's not really sure..but she believes him..if he insists he's not"...but.......

blown out at the last minute..but the smoke spreads the innuendo

...........................................................................................
match #2...
HRC gushes and fawns over BHO at the debate, smiles for the camera and the next day accuses him of being unfair

blown out at the last minute..and people have a WTF moment and it drops into the ether

..........................................................................................
match #3...
HRC whines to the media about how unfair they are to her, and infers sexism..gets an anchor suspended, then uses the "girly pride" moment to pounce on BHO like an angry Mom who found porn under the teen-aged son's bed.."Shame on You"

blown out at the last minute..and people have another WTF moment

.........................................................................................
match #4 ...
HRC puts on her suit, sits in the dark with pearls & glasses .... waits for the 3AM call ...Flat out tells people that she's the only one able to handle a crisis

blown out at the last minute..but the fear lingers

...........................................................................................
match #5
HRC insinuates that only She and McCain are capable of protecting us..BHO just "made a speech in 2002"

blown out at the last minute..more fear to scare the "little people"

............................................................................................

She's sweetness & smiles for the cameras but she and her campaign are still swift-boating with the best of them..Jerry Corsi could not have done it better..

BHO's dilemma is that in response to her odd attacks, just about anything his campaign comes up with is received as sexist and "bein' mean to the little lady"...

He was tested in SC, and when he did not react with indignation and call them on the obvious racial slurs, they saw a chance to dig deeper.. he is trying to run a race-neutral campaign, but she's wallowing in "girl-pride", and screams "sexist" when anyone criticizes anything she or her campaign says or does..

BHO's campaign , so far, has resisted the obvious avenues of attack, since that is not their style, but until they do it, her campaign will continue to play the match game until a match gets dropped into the gasoline and they both "blow up"..

Her weaknesses are the same ones she has always had, but since most of them involve a past president or the time she spent as First Lady (not ll that well documented or "offifial government business", the BHO campaign shows restraint, and "does not go there". Just how DID that Canadian memo surface so quickly? BC was very well liked in Canada, and who's to say just how that meeting even got arranged? HRC has no problem mentioning the Rezko deal, but BHO showed restraint again, and did not launch into the myriad of "land-deal/campaign finance issues" the Clintons have had.

Perhaps his statesmanlike demeanor and sense of fair-play could be his undoing. It's sad too, because we need less of the "I'll FIGHT for you" stuff and a lot more of reasoned negotiation and thoughtful planning.

McCain's not going to race in with a fire extinguisher and save them

1. nonsense, exageration, smears, lies - but just the expected in a "pro-Obama post - never a positive
reason to vote for Obama except it feels good to hear him speak.

Every Obama policy position appears fake after his econ adviser told CNBC's Kudlow to not worry about the cost of the Obama programs because he doesn't plan to pass them - indeed the theme appears to have been repeated in the NAFTA memo on the meeting - a meeting Obama lied about saying it did not take place, and now wants us to believe that the memo writer was an idiot that got the substance of the meeting incorrect.

2. I am now trying to figure out the WHY. Greed/Addcition to power
fear of dirt being exposed on both Bush/Clinton side?

Ego?

Hillary put up with so much shit from men all her life, maybe she is too emotionally invested in this.

3. Years of planning to be president?
I think the Clintons and their pals have been planning this run for the presidency for many years, and now confronted with the real possibility that it might not happen, they are unable to accept it.

4. Let's not forget:

...........................................................................................
match #6
HRC puts on her suit, sits in the dark with pearls & glasses .... waits for the 3AM call ...Flat out tells people that Obama isn't dealing with the looming threat in Afghanistan ... and to make a point that he can't be trusted, has his video image manipulated to make his nose appear wider and his skin darker ... therefore, more "Negro-looking" to those older Independents and fence-sitters waiting to vote in the liberal bastions (:sarcasm:) of Wyoming and Mississippi.

blown out at the last minute ... but the fear lingers, and the message remains: "Fear the GOP, but fear a Black man more. Especially at 3:00 am when you're in bed."
