Title: What will it take...
Post by: Bogie on February 14, 2008, 11:21:36 AM
...skeleton-wise, for Hillary to torpedo Obama?
 
He's already smoked weed and snorted coke, which is fine with a bunch of the supporters.

I think she actually needs to get him to outline just what is meant by "change." Ask some probing questions in a debate or two...
 
But what kinda dirt do you think she has?

I'd say grease leaking from the Daley machine, but she can't use that, because it'd ruin Daley, too...and he's a Democrat.

Nah, he has dirt on too many of THEM!

Boss Daley makes Boss Tweed look like a shoplifter. The state governor is just his bootlicking puppet. If Obama were elected, the cabinet would be filled with more Daley puppets, and Daley would rule from behind from his midwest Imperial City.

If Obama nails the nomination, will Clinton try to wreck his election, so Hillary could take another whack at it in 2012?

Or assassinate his character so thoroughly that he'll have to drop out.

I despise him and could care less that he's snorted coke and smoked weed.  Much of his generation has....these are the former hippy's remember?

I think that he's tied into a fixed election, maybe even his own Senatorial bid.  Chicago...think dead voters, etc.

Obama was the one to suggest Donald Rumsfeld to Bush for Sec Def.

Unless he is caught and found out to be a Muslim sleeper agent who likes to rape and murder young boys, I don't know if she can get a meaty enough skeleton.

He's got Reagan's old Teflon suit and then some since the media loves him.  He's all about Change and Hope.  The media loves him and he's "surging".

If he's smart he'll ignore whatever mud she slings and say "I'm talking about change and she's playing dirty politics."  You don't want to get into a mud fight with the Clintons.  They have will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

A sure-fire would be the revelation that, after all, he is not Black.  angel

By the way, I've talked to some of my social-democrat colleagues and they see him for the bag of smoke and tricks he is. They won't vote Repub if he wins the nomination, but they may just stay home in November.

Unless he's caught in bed with a dead woman and/or a live boy, her only hope is for the VEEP slot.

Honestly, neither one will take a VP slot...

Obama wins the nomination, he has to KNOW what happens to folks who get in the way of the Clintons' political aspirations.

Hillary wins the nomination, she has to know that many black radicals would be hoping to see her with crosshairs.

Each one is a danger to the other as a VP.

 What kind of skeleton would work? 'Bout the only thing I can think of would be something major enough to cause felony charges NOW (a current crime, that a DA can go after)...

Maybe RICO charges for some of the things Daley's involved in crossing over onto him?

But let's face it, anything serious happens to Obama and we're gonna see riots all over the country.

I seriously doubt that.

Not as long as American iDull, Lost, various reality shows and talk shows, etc...stay on the air. People will grumble, be content, and sit home and watch.

Opiate of the masses.

If they have not been able to nail Daley's butt to the wall, I hold out little hope that they will get anything on Obama.  Even Rezko isn't sticking.

If she loses Wisconsin tonight and Texas/Ohio next week, she's done.

Pretty much true.  And I would not have predicted that outcome six months ago.  Rather surprising.

Just like the towers were an inside job, right?
While in a position of utmost power, it wouldn't surprise me if the Klintons abused it, I think the idea of Hillary taking out a sitting president so that she can take the reigns is ludicrious.  Not only do I think that is the one thing that might be beneath her, I also think that the odds of her pulling that one off are slim to none.   The days of walking up to a President on a street corner and shooting him are over, especially in a post 9/11 world.  Unless Hillary pulled the trigger herself....

Obama has lots of skeletons in his closet.  A few have rolled out and are taking polygraph tests.  Others are as we speak trying to explain money transfers from the middle east to his assorted coffers.  A few enterprising reports (from other countries) are having a look-see into the funding of his home purchase. 

Meanwhile back at the ranch Obama will have to fend off Hillary and the Clinton family to grab the nomination.  Hillary spent an entire lifetime pursuing power only to see Obama step in and take it from her.  She is quite capable of destroying the democrat party.  Obama's mission is to hold it all together.  We will see what kind of crisis manager he really is just by surviving Hillary's counter attacks.

Time is on our side.  More details will come out.  Whether of not the details derails his ride to the white house is a different story.

Oh, if she loses the nomination, I expect her to burn down the entire party on her way out. She won't go gracefully.

Mike Gallagher was talking about that on radio......scary stuff.

But then, how many Clinton appointees did Bush leave in place? (i.e. Mineta, Tennet, et al.)
