Hillary Clinton Official Presidential Campaign Announcement

July 21st, 2007

Hillary Clinton has been campaigning aggressively for president for about six months. She is clearly the front-runner, according to months of polling data, both in terms of her party’s nomination and the general election. She has raised a ton of money, being slightly behind Barack Obama but vastly ahead of everyone else. And despite Obama’s fundraising success, it has yet to translate in terms of poll numbers. In the meantime, Hillary Clinton is way ahead of Obama and all other Democratic challengers in hiring the most skilled campaign staff, establishing effective political machines on the ground, and collecting critical political endoresements that are bound to convert into votes in the upcoming state primaries. She has also deflected the criticism of her original pro-Iraq war vote from the Left of the Democratic Party, while transmuting into the ultimate anti-war candidate. She has also built a powerful machine focusing on women voters, the single most important demographic in the upcoming 2008 presidential race. She has also made highly effective use of husband and philaderer ex-president Bill Clinton, which has further neutralized the Obama challenge. Hillary Clinton has clearly been very busy these past six months. There is only one thing she has not done. Can you guess?

Believe it or not, Hillary Clinton is not yet an official candidate for president. Look at her website, and you will notice that it is sponsored by her presidential “exploratory committee.”

Does anyone think Hillary is still “exploring” the possibility of running for president? Not on your life! Rest assured,however, that this is no oversight. Like everything else in Hillaryland, this is deliberate, methodical calculation. Here is what I think is going on.

While the media has been obssessed by the so-called Obama challenge, Hillary Clinton has been quietly but effectively building her campaign infrastructure. Unlike Barack Obama, who announced his official intentions only a few weeks after his own “exploration” phase, Hillary knows that the PR and media bounce an official announcement will bring her will be far more useful after Labor Day. This also explains her being absent from national media appearances. While allowing her competitors a free run with the national TV and radio talk shows, she has focused on organizational priorities while Obama, Biden, Richardson and Edwards have bored the audiences to tears. Sometime after Labor Day, in a well-planned blitz, she will make her presidential campaign “official” with a massive media blitz. That is when she will appear on the national TV and radio circuit, building on her front-runner status already institutionalized during this quiet phase of her campaign. Very calculating, very clever, this is politician Hillary at her own game, showing she is as much a master as Professor Bill Clinton.

The American people seem primed for what is likely to unfold. Recent polls show that even a majority of Republican voters expect Hillary Clinton to win the 2008 presidential contest.

Frankly, I think the only hope of defeating Hillary Clinton lies with a credible Third Party ticket with an exceptional presidential candidate, able to attract bipartisan support. Since the odds of that occuring are currently very low, when Hillary does make her official announcement, it is likely to signal a campaign blitzkrieg, smothering Democratic and Republican opponents alike as the Clintons gather momentum in their tsunami drive to reclaim the White House.

    Ron Paul can defeat Hillary Clinton, if he is the Republican nominee. Congressman Ron Paul has always been opposed to the Iraq war, unlike Hillary Clinton.
