Max Deveson, BBC news Correspondent based in Washington, DC, has written a timely piece asking the important question: “Who Could Tell Clinton to Quit?” Apparently in Britain they are called the Men in Grey Suits. Continue reading →

In her latest column published today on Salon.com, “She Won’t Go Easy,” Camille Paglia bemoans the stubborn refusal of Hillary Clinton to gracefully exit the stage.

“…somehow we are locked at the hip to Hillary Clinton, who won’t stop her manic tarantella until her party whirls into ruins, like the run-amuck carousel in Alfred Hitchcock’s ‘Strangers on a Train.’”

In the same column, Paglia also takes off on chairman of the Clinton campaign and former DNC Chairman Terry McAuliffe. Continue reading →

The Chattering Class has made it official: Racial Politics has raised its ugly head. For that, we can thank the Mountain Mama herself, Hillary Clinton. Yes, the Democratic party can thank Hillary for being a realist (not a “hope-monger” to use Obama’s stump speech laugh line) and pointing out to us over and over again (as subtly as she possibly can) that America will not elect a black man president.

West Virginia. This is where Hillary will mount her great comeback. This is the state the pundits says “is tailor-made for Hillary.” This is the state about which she said, “I personally believe that West Virginia is one of those so-called swing states Democrats need to win it in the fall.”

With that in mind, and for the edification of the superdelegates who remain “on the fence,” RedPhoneDiaries.com (thanks to statistics provided by Statemaster.com) has put together this little demographic portrait of the great state of West Virginia. The state is ranked… Continue reading →

After an opening riff on how Hillary became a “lifelong Yankee fan” upon moving to New York to run for the Senate in 1960, George Will today went on to discuss the Clinton Rules, in a brilliant op-ed column in today’s Washington Post…

“After Tuesday’s split decisions in Indiana and North Carolina, Clinton, the Yankee Clipperette, can, and hence eventually will, creatively argue that she is really ahead of Barack Obama, or at any rate she is sort of tied, mathematically or morally or something, in popular votes, or delegates, or some combination of the two, as determined by Fermat’s Last Theorem, or something, in states whose names begin with vowels, or maybe consonants, or perhaps some mixture of the two as determined by listening to a recording of the Beach Boys’ “Help Me, Rhonda” played backward, or whatever other formula is most helpful to her, and counting the votes she received in Michigan, where hers was the only contending name on the ballot (her chief rivals, quaintly obeying their party’s rules, boycotted the state, which had violated the party’s rules for scheduling primaries), and counting the votes she received in Florida, which, like Michigan, was a scofflaw and where no one campaigned, and dividing Obama’s delegate advantage in caucus states by pi multiplied by the square root of Yankee Stadium’s Zip code.”
