Hillary and Marshmallow Peeps
Posted on January 1st, 2007 at 12:26 am by Jason Wright, EditorAt liberal flavored water-coolers across the country, plenty of democrats are beginning to wonder whether Billary is really the candidate they want on top of their national ticket in 2008. Senator Clinton’s campaign amounts to nothing more than a giant marshmallow peep. It tastes good for a second, but it’s all air and no substance. Plus when you put it in the heat of your microwave it gets really fat and catches on fire.
This piece from the The Sunday Times - World says basically the same thing:
Despite winning re-election to the US Senate by a handsome margin in mid-term voting last month, Clinton has had little to celebrate as polls from the presidential primary battlegrounds signalled early trouble for her historic bid to become America’s first woman president.
In Iowa, the Midwestern state that will once again open the primary season with its caucus votes on January 14, 2008, Clinton slumped to fourth place with only 10% of the vote in a survey of 600 likely Democratic voters.
In New Hampshire, which will hold the first full primary eight days later, Clinton had appeared to be cruising comfortably with a 23-point lead over her Democrat rivals — until last weekend, when a poll in the Concord Monitor newspaper showed her only one point ahead of Senator Barack Obama, the comparative political newcomer who is considering a similarly historic attempt to become America’s first black president.
Yep, a giant peep. You have to read between the lines, but it’s in there.
