This must have been “pile-on week” for Hillary. No one runs a perfect campaign and the longer a campaign goes without a bump, the larger the faux pas will seem when it does happen.
Concerning the double-speak at the last debate about driver licenses for illegal aliens, I didn’t think it was that much of a big deal. Frankly, it seemed to be the status quo from the Clinton Camp – not ever really simply stating a position like Kucinich can. Kucinich can tell you what his position is in under 8 words and 99% of the population will understand exactly what he means – they may not agree however. Face it, he is a better communicator.
Back to Hillary, this past week, both sides of the aisle and the great vast “middle-wing” conspiracy of independent populists led by Lou Dobbs all dumped on Hillary and the results were shocking, at least to me. Her drops in polls, specifically Iowa, I think showed how really weak she is as a candidate. Don’t get me wrong, she has a ton of cash, and is still considered a front runner, but if a slight mistake like the one in the last debate can cause such a whirl wind of negative results, maybe she is not bulletproof.
Kucinich, now that guy IS bulletproof, but that is another blog entry.
P.S. Credit for today’s strip has to go to DKos user Common Cents, from this diary comment. It has been reported by Members of Congress and the media that Hillary can, on occasion, cuss like 20 sailors being waterboarded. However, this is a fictional cartoon and not a direct quote.
