How Hillary has Already Poisoned Obama’s Well

HIllary’s best hope of being President at this point is to win in 2012. A President Obama would be a severe roadblock to this goal. How can Hillary help to defeat Obama, while simultaneously be seen as 100% supportive of the first African-American presidential nominee?

Dick Morris’ answer is familiar: she’ll use Bill. Bill Clinton can charm, and guffaw, and oops I didn’t mean that, and aw shucks like no one else on the planet. Bill can drop bombs and slip away clean better than any stealth bomber. He got caught a bit in the primary. He will try again.

Fortunately, for Hillary, she’s already planted the seeds. In the primary, Hillary said that McCain was more fit to be President than Obama. She can say nothing now and chalk everything up to tough primary campaigning and exalt Barack as the superior candidate. The doubts are out there. The Republicans are already using these quotes and Hillary can sit back and pretend this bothers her.

Hillary (and Biden) on video telling an audience that McCain is a better choice than Obama is campaign commercial gold. Expect to see them in late October.

The Clintons really make a beautiful political spectacle.
