JW /p> p> Philip Klein is correct on a number of points in today's column. Ms. Clinton is a cynical, power-hungry termagant, whose turbid and pandering campaign should disgust anyone who got out of the sixth grade and isn't a bunch of dopes. But he waits until his penultimate paragraph to nail his most telling and depressing point: the declining Republicans don't have the testosterone to fight this harridan with even a modicum of fire. Pathetic! Warriors come to fight; this bunch comes to minuet. br> -- James C. Eaton br> Chetek, Wisconsin /p>

It is obvious that Philip doesn't listen to Rush Limbaugh's radio program -- on which, Mr. Limbaugh repeatedly explains the purpose of "Operation Chaos."

Both Democrat Party hopefuls are Saul Alinsky-inspired Marxists. Having had a little taste of autocratic power, one has already graduated to Stalinism ("I'm going to take away those profits"). The other likely will make the jump shortly after his coronation -- which ceremony the Fourth Estate (perhaps "Fifth Column" would be more appropriate?) is doing its dead-level best to assure.

To that end, there have even been calls from within her own party for Mrs. Clinton to discontinue her campaign. If she does so, Mr. Obama's skids will be well-lubricated with the snake-oil he routinely peddles to the ignorant rubes.

"Operation Chaos" exists to keep Mrs. Clinton in the race right up to the DNC convention, so that she and Mr. Obama can deflate their own war-chests as they go at each other hammer-and-tong. When they're hurling vitriol at each other, they're less likely to spatter any on John McCain, who isn't having to deplete his coffers by answering their attack ads.

p>In August, whichever candidate manages to crawl out of the fighting cage to square off against Senator McCain will be a whole lot poorer (and a damned-sight bloodier!) than if Mrs. Clinton is forced out of the race now. Perhaps, by that time, Mr. McCain will have become a tad more pugnacious. br> --
