Hillary Rodham Clinton essentially won the White House tonight. For outward consumption, it looks like a “mere” 3-point victory over Barack Obama in the New Hampshire primary. However, most polls (save Fox News, which I’ll get to in a moment) showed him with high single-digit or double-digit leads over her.
What happened? Is she the next Comeback Clinton?
No, she’s not, because she was never truly “behind” such that she had to “come back.” This nomination was hers all along, Clinton Inc. was not to be denied, and the Democrat Party establishment was sure as hell not going to nominate a black man. Obama’s “victory” in Iowa? It was stolen, based on non-resident college students caucusing for him. Be that as it may, he better enjoy that, because he’s not going to win any more.
Okay, so what about all these polls? Up until recently, Rush Limbaugh said (and I agreed) that BHO was a media creation in order to create a fake obstacle for HRC to “overcome,” and to brag about “overcoming” once it appeared that she did. As I believe that, I get the feeling that this whole charade of Obama-with-a-big-lead in NH was an engineered Machiavellian front produced by Clinton Inc., the MSM, and friendly pollsters. They wanted to create a big Obama lead and “surge” (when there really was none) so that when the real result came in from real votes, i.e. a narrow HRC victory, it would appear that she was another “Clinton Comeback Kid,” and an “overcomer.” Had they reported honest polls, HRC’s victory tonight wouldn’t be dramatic.
Notice that the Fox News polls never showed Obama with a big lead over Clinton. Remember that Fox News is anything but a Clinton Inc. satellite.
Also, I think this engineered circus was designed as a loyalty test for her supporters, endorsers, sugar daddies, staffers, strategists, Hollywood mouthpieces, and hacks. Up until a few hours ago, there was a lot of talk about her campaign “falling apart,” and a lot of chatter that she was going to drop out, and rumors that her people were looking to jump ship and climb aboard other boats. Knowing what we know now, it could have very well been that she was using this as a test to see who would stick with her through (the outward appearance of) bleak times. Now she knows who to trust and let inside of her White House, and whom not to give the time of day, when she is inaugurated on January 20, 2009.
And I’m not kidding now when I say “when.” Even during this “bleak” weekend for her, she still had a healthy lead over Obama in the national polls, and that will only widen now that she has “come back.” The only Republican that could beat her finished in last place and with so few votes that, like in Iowa, his percentage take was rounded down to zero, and that being Duncan Hunter. In fact, there were a lot of rumors today that he was set to drop out, and I wouldn’t be surprised if that happens shortly. As for the rest of the Republicans, they’re either liberals, pathological flip-floppers, or reckless economic libertarians. She’ll easily beat any of them.
The only thing left for her is to decide between Phil Bredesen and Brad Henry for Vice-President.
[...] vote in Florida further cements my prediction of three weeks ago. If Obama can’t even get close in a state like Florida, and the polls have him way behind [...]
