Hillary Clinton’s Cleavage-In The Polls

August 2nd, 2007

While the media remains fixated with the cleavage of Hillary’s bosom, I want to focus on the far more relevant electoral cleavage that is growing between Senator Clinton and her Democratic presidential rivals.

I can still recall the predictions of so-called media experts, only weeks after Obama entered the race, that by Memorial Day Obama would run even with Hillary in the polls, if not exceed her numbers. Well, Memorial Day came and went, with vitually no change in Hillary Clinton’s lead over her rivals, including Barack Obama. However, at long last, there now is a change in the polls. But not what the over-paid and over-confidant media experts predicted.

According to the most recent Wall Street Journal/NBC poll, the first one conducted since last week’s CNN/YouTube debate of Democratic candidates, Hillary Clinton is now ahead of Obama by a margin of 43 per cent to 22 per cent, with John Edwards a very distant and dismal third with 13 per cent. All the others are in single digits This represents a fifty percent increase in the margin Hillary has had over Barack since Memorial Day.

What the pundits missed, but which has been repeated several times in this blog, is that Obama represents no threat to Hillary Clinton, as long as she continues to play her cards shrewdly. And shrewdly she has. By having an inexperienced politician, at least on the national scene, become the media annointed Democratic challenger to Hillary Clinton, they ensured that a weak opponent would consume the bulk of media coverage and financial support that might otherwise have gone to more credible challengers for the Democratic nomination. Barack Obama has failed to seriously challenge the Clinton hegemony in the Democratic Party, but he has been wildly successful in demolishing the campaigns of all other Democrats who might have had a chance of raising disturbing questions about Hillary Clinton’s presidential qualifications.

With Barack Obama now positioned as Hillary Clinton’s only credible obstacle to receiving her Party’s presidential nomination, it can be assumed that she will be the Democratic standard bearer in 2008.

Barack Obama originally had never planned to enter the 2008 presidential contest. He was certainly intelligent enough to comprehend his own vulnerabilities, which could only be mitigated by more experience and political seasoning. However, he allowed himself to be talked into running prematurely by celebrities and journalists, who advised him he would never have as good an opportunity as now to become president. Sometimes in politics, the best advice stems from your own hesitancy. Barack Obama may come to regret being talked into the 2008 contest, as Hillary and Bill Clinton sharpen their political knives, and home in for the kill.

    Maybe the media is obsessed with reporting on Hillary’s cleavage to take our minds off how they guessed wrong on Obama.

    It don’t make a difference who gets the Democrat nomination, Clinton or Obama. They are both far too liberal.
