What The Early Primaries Mean For Clinton Campaign
2 comments May 22nd, 2007
The primary system is essential for the monopoly that the two major political parties in America maintain on the control of the nation’s government. The long, drawn out season of primaries lull the American people into internalizing the Democratic and Republican parties as the only choices worth reflecting on. In 2008, a radical change is occuring with the schedule of the presidential primaries, with the Clinton machine likely a key player behind the scenes in facilitating this development.
Essentially, a large proportion of delegates from major states will be selected in a relatively short period, during the first two months of 2008. For Hillary Clinton, this is a major component of her campaign plan for electoral victory in November 2008.
If things work out as Hillary thinks they will, her massive lead in collecting key political endorsements, combined with successfully recruiting the best political talent money can buy, will translate into facts on the ground that will make it likely that Senator Clinton will win the lion’s share of the major primaries being front-loaded in early 2008. Net result is that she is the virtual winner of the Democrat presidential nominating process, months before the nominating convention in the summer. This time interval will involve what I see as another major element in Hillary Clinton’s master campaign plan. Let’s call it, “Operation Scandal.”
I expect that starting in the Spring of 2008, the Democrats will use their control of Congress to unleash a series of investigations that will so taint the Republican Party with scandal, no G.O.P. nominee will have a snowball’s chance in hell of defeating Hillary Clinton. The investigations currently underway in Washington are just the planting of seeds in preparation for a blistering harvest of Bush-destroying headlines that will subsume America throughout America in 2008. The Republican presidential candidates all seem to know this, which is why in the initial candidates debate, they are all praising Ronald Reagan, while acting as though George W. Bush, and even George Bush senior, don’t exist. It is all rather pathetic, yet understandable, given the pall of gloom that reason forces senior Republicans to comprehend.
Will Hillary’s plan work? Unless there is a credible third party challenge to Hillary Clinton, America will see a second Clinton presidency, and then God help the Republic.
