Is Clinton's 2012 Campaign Under Way?
But now that it's clear to virtually everyone that -- barring some catastrophic event -- Clinton will not be the nominee in 2008, her actions seem to make sense only as a 2012 strategy.

We don't need to distort the opposition or take umbrage at their every comment to win this election. If we just debate them upright on the issues, we will win.

In Hillaryland, desperate times mean desperate pronouncements. Seating the MI delegation is not akin to the 1960s struggle for civil rights. Hard working white people will vote for Obama. Talk of staying in the race and an assassination is irresponsible madness.

In the Washington Post, Clinton briefly hit "sexism" in media coverage of her campaign as "deeply offensive to millions of women," but she went much further.

On some level, Clinton was battling the sad history of women's silence. Now many female Clinton voters will be asked to bite their tongues and suffer for the larger good. It's a bitter kind of heart break.

Hillary was using the old paradigm: To beat men you've got to be like them. What a difference it would have made if her campaign had employed some "feminine" qualities.

Clinton superdelegates on the DNC Rules and Bylaws Committee seem to contradict the Clinton campaign stance on the seating of the Michigan delegation.

Hillary has gone from pandering to panhandling in a panic. Contribute if you want. Just make that check out to the "Hillary Clinton for Irrelevant" campaign... or the "Hindenburg Landing Party Fund."

Hillary has displayed great tenacity and is impressive in her commitment to her campaign. But these characteristics are not inherently valuable. We have an example of this residing in the White House.

Clinton's website has already changed the nomination delegate threshold to 2208, as if Mich. and Fl. were already in the mix, as if the rules, the Dem. Committee and her word were all irrelevant.

Mark and Moises, friendly gay Midwesterners and a couple for 20 years, said Hillary has just been more visible in her support than Obama has been. "He's maybe catering to conservatives."

Hillary doesn't think she can win, but that doesn't stop her from playing out the Florida and Michigan con, just on the off chance that it will distract folks long enough for her to pilfer the nomination.

The Wright/Obama story has been utterly mangled. It's a human story and a tragic one. Two decent men doing good work are being used against each other in a game of political one-upsmanship.

Clinton's ineffectual victories have become the pledged-delegate equivalent of having her legs hacked out from underneath her. Yet all the while she's trilling, "I'm invincible! Have at you then!"

Senator Clinton is playing the race and fear cards. There seems no concern for her party or her Democratic rival. She will go down and she cares not who or what goes down with her.
