I guess it is no surprise why the Clinton campaign has not said a word in defense of Barack Obama during the whole controversy over his pastor.
In truth, in interviews, Mrs. Clinton’s advisers said that task was tough and growing tougher and that the critical questions were what would happen with Florida and Michigan and the possibility of developments involving Mr. Obama’s relationship with his spiritual adviser, the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr.
There will be no revotes in Michigan and Florida, and Obama gave the speech of a generation yesterday in response to the Rev. Wright controversy. Amazingly, both Mike Huckebee and John McCain offered more robust defenses of Obama than the Clinton campaign.
But, then, the Clintons are not interested in anything but the total destruction of our nominee.
Finally, Mrs. Clinton’s aides hope that disclosures about Mr. Obama’s past like the one involving Mr. Wright could give superdelegates’ pause…
…Mrs. Clinton’s advisers said they had spent recent days making the case to wavering superdelegates that Mr. Obama’s association with Mr. Wright would doom their party in the general election.
Isn’t that special.
