This is how you can lose by winning…

Hillary Clinton won the Pennsylvania primary by 9.4% of the vote and she proclaimed that the TIDE IS TURNING. She is right but for the wrong reasons. I believe Pennsylvania will turn out to be her last hurrah! Because of the Pennsylvania demographics, she was able to appeal to the fears of the people- from many angles. But even in that she went way over the line and reminded people why she should not be president.

A New York Times opinion article (who previously came out in support of Hillary) put it rather bluntly by saying, “It is past time for Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton to acknowledge that the negativity, for which she is mostly responsible, does nothing but harm to her, her opponent, her party and the 2008 election.”

The article went on to say, “On the eve of this crucial primary, Mrs. Clinton became the first Democratic candidate to wave the bloody shirt of 9/11. A Clinton television ad — torn right from Karl Rove’s playbook — evoked the 1929 stock market crash, Pearl Harbor, the Cuban missile crisis, the cold war and the 9/11 attacks, complete with video of Osama bin Laden. “If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen,” the narrator intoned.

Hillary is done! She has been since Iowa, but of course she wants everyone to have the right to vote which translats into “I hope something drastic happens that changes destiny”. Otherwise, she has no hope. None! Nada! Zip! Zero! Obama has a commanding lead in states, pledged delegates and popular vote. What more does one need?

Clinton won Pennsylvania for two key reasons: Only Democrats could vote in the primary, and the Keystone State electorate is dominated by the elderly, who are staunchly for Clinton. Despite her claims of electability, Hillary has never done well among independent voters. And Obama usually loses the Democrats. Pennsylvania’s closed-primary rules gave her a key advantage. Older voters are flocking to Clinton as fears mount of what Obama might do as president.

And in an interview on ABC News Hillary said that if Iran attacked Israel while she were president: “We would be able to totally obliterate them.” This is the peace candidate? This is the one who will pull our troops out of Iraq immediately? This is the LEFT? She sounds more like a right wing Republican than a left-leaning Democrat.

Clinton once had a big lead among the party elders, the super delegates, but she has been steadily losing it, in large part because of her negative campaign. And as Dick Morris said, it’s too little, too late.
