For Shrillda, there's nowhere to run

There’s something wired going on in the Dem primary. You have two candidates with equally thin records whose only policy difference revolves around whether or not they will force everyone to buy government subsidized health insurance. So this race is like buying a new car. Everything else being equal, it all boils down to which salesman you like best.

Shrillda Beast has run on 35 years of experience – not hers, Bill’s. So when the other Dem candidate tires of looping the words hope and change together in an endless stream of banalities, he points out that some things about Bill’s record – like NAFTA – that ain’t that great. When he does, the Beast cries foul. “That’s Bill’s record is not mine!” Sorry Shrillda, without Bill’s record you have none.

Meanwhile, Shrillda cannot get to the left of Obama on any issue and the kooks that vote in Dem primaries don’t want to hear of any candidate moving to the center. So what to do? Well the Beast and her surrogates have tried to point out, rather ham-handedly, that Obama “cannot win in November.” That was code for, “racist America would never vote for a black man.” Ahh but Dem primary voters will. Then Shrillda alluded to Obama’s drug use. Again, that’s a resume enhancement among Dem primary voters. Then there was the Hussein name game. That should scare away voters. Not Dem voters who still don’t believe there is a war against Muslim extremists. (No Obama isn’t one. But the Shrillda thought the mention of the name would do the trick.)

Then there were the things that the Beast’s campaign didn’t take advantage of. When Michelle Obama said that she was “proud of her country for the first time” the Beast didn’t pounce. She couldn’t. Most Dem primary kooks agreed with Michelle Obama that there’s nothing to be proud of. When people point out that the church that Obama belongs to is about as racist as anything in America – that’s OK because it’s black racists. And beside, it’s not as if he were a Mormon or something creepy like that. When Louie Farrakhan endorsed Obama, the Beast should have pounced but couldn’t because, Dem kooks agree with Louie that America sucks.

So the Beast is screwed. She can’t get to left. It does no good to get to the right. She can’t run on her record. She gets mad about being attacked for Bill’s record. There’s not a dime’s worth of difference between Obama and the Beast, EXCEPT, he’s more likeable.

Now I don’t doubt for a minute that the Clintons don’t have some heinous bombshell to drop on Obama on Wed or Thur this week to ruin him before the Tue primary on Mar 4. If they don’t, that’ll be a signal to Obama that the Shrillda Beast is interested in the VP slot. Obama could loses big time if takes her on board.
