Knowing when
I’ve not been enamored of Clinton. My 25-words-or-less objection is that she’s made herself over as “see, I’m just as tough as a man” which is old-think. I think she’s using an old playbook rife with negativism and divisiveness and snappy ‘good for the moment’ cliches.
This was a change; at first I thought of Obama as a bit of youth-y pop fluff. But then I read more about him. All that aside, if McCain gets elected we’ll just timeshift to a Kubrick film. Back to Hillary. Tenacious is one thing. But what is the point now?
McClatchy describes Clinton as “broke and politically battered,” and adds she’s “reduced to pursuing two potentially divisive options that could hurt the party: Magnify the racial fault line in the party by stressing Obama’s inability to win white working-class voters and press the party to change its rules and seat unsanctioned delegations from Florida and Michigan at the national convention in August.”
