She hitched her star to Bill in law school, and went with him to the Governor's mansion in Little Rock. She told lies to the American people about Bill's sexual philanderings so that she could be by his side to get to the White House. She used Bill's time in office to launch her bid for the carpet-bag Senate seat she now holds. She also needed Rick Lazio to cross the stage and "invade her space" to make her look the sympathetic victim.
But now with Obama running a superior campaign to hers and turning out three times the numbers of supporters at just about every campaign stop - she needs Bill to help her get over the hump.
Last night in Manhattan Bill was with her as she barely eeked across the 1 million in donations line for the night. Does everyone remember that Barack Obama was in "Hillary's City" just two weeks earlier on a friday night? He took in close to $2 million on the night with roughly 2000 in attendance. She eeked out about half that in dollars - and stories about Hillary are getting conspicuously quiet in regards to the numbers of supporters she is turning out these days.
By the way... Barack did an event yesterday that topped 10,000 in attendance in Oakland, California. And it got written up big in Iowa papers this morning.
The thing that FEMINIST ONE (Hillary) has always had going for her is that she was for the most part usually surrounded by ineffective, cretin-like men (BILL). Compared to him it seemed natural that her victimhood was something that people could at least empathize with her on. But how truly "feminist" is that?
She's a better woman than a horrible man? BIG DEAL...
Hillary still has major personality disconnect from the average American. She's hot tempered, unliked, and in many ways unlikable.
Side by side with Obama she doesn't appear to be a victim. She appears to be a peer. (Oddly enough she is...)
But her peer in this instance is instantly more likable. Whether you agree with his politics or not - he's nice. He also loves his beautiful wife, and his two adorable daughters. (NONE of which makes him qualified to be president... but it sure makes him much more attractive as a candidate than a lamp-throwing, femmi-man-hater.)
Hillary has serious deficit issues in the ideas, appearance, and personality areas... and for the touchy feely (if it makes me feel good) liberal primary voters - those are all BIG problems.
