Philip Klein’s pique over the possibility of a Clinton
comeback makes for interesting reading today:
IT HAS BECOME popular in conservative circles these
days to suggest that “you just gotta admire her tenacity” …
There is absolutely nothing admirable about a politician so
narcissistic and hungry for power that she is willing to say or do
whatever suits her political interests at any given moment…
.
Whatever Obama’s faults, conservatives should ask themselves
whether they can bear the possibility of the nation being held
hostage by the psychological drama of the Clinton family for
another four or even eight years.
Having also heard Clinton’s shameless pandering first-hand, I know
what Phil’s talking about. On the other hand, are we so sure that a
principled progressive like Obama would do the nation less harm
than an unprincipled panderer like Hillary? Something to think
about on my way to a nearby Obama headquarters, where they’re
having a
“Barack the Vote! Results Watching and
Phone Banking Party” tonight.
