HUCK FINN COMMENTS: I learned something from Hillary after Super Tuesday II. When the crap hits the fan, and you must win, throw everything at the problem, including the kitchen sink. Why? Because you never know what is going to work.
In the case of Hillary, she had to win Texas and Ohio in order to stay in the game. Hillary won through a combination of fear tactics such as:
(a) the red phone commercial
(b) negative advertising
(c) negative speeches against Obama and his inexperience
(d) all kinds of things too numerous to mention.
The Clinton camp admitted they threw everything at Obama, including the kitchen sink to win.
Obama licked his wounds. He kicked Hill's butt in sparsely-populated Wyoming and predominately-black Mississippi. 90% of black voters voted for Obama and 70% of white voters voted for Clinton, proving that race should not be an issue for Democrats at all. However, because of Obama's pastor, race will be an issue in Pennsylvania.
One thing I learned in Campaign 2008 is we are not a racist country. Obama is winning the white vote. There might have been racist issues in Mississippi, because whites voted for white and blacks voted for black. But overall, America can’t say race is an issue, since white folks have voted for Obama. Now, how Obama handles the issue of his racist pastor will determine his stake for the White House.
The race angle won't work for either candidate in the long run. Obama has received an incredibly large amount of the black votes, but the white vote is giving him the winning edge for now.
Numbers don’t lie. Hillary was kind to offer Obama the vice president title, but it will take a Clinton miracle for Hillary to beat Obama and win the Democratic Party ticket. Hill already threw the kitchen sink at Obama to win Texas. What is she going to throw at Obama to win Pennsylvania?
TOP FIVE THINGS HILLARY MIGHT THROW AT OBAMA, (KITCHEN SINK NOT INCLUDED) TO WIN IN PENNSYLVANIA
1. Red Phones: Hillary supporters could run into an Obama rally and throw a couple of thousand red phones into the audience as he’s giving one of his moving, touching, motivating oratory speeches.
2. Monsters, Inc. Because Obama's staff called Hillary a monster, she could throw Monster dolls (brilliant animation feature movie) at Obama.
3. Cigarette Packs: Hillary could throw cigarettes at him and run advertising with the tagline: Do you want a smoker in the White House?
4. Numbers. Hillary could throw toy blocks with numerals on them at Obama, and run advertising with the tagline: Less Oratory Speeches. More Facts and Figures.
5. Bath Tub: The Hillary campaign threw everything, including the kitchen sink at Obama to win. Maybe the bath tub idea will work too. Despite the preacher controversy, Obama is still leading this race.
What would Putin do? Would he throw the bath tub at Obama to win? What kind of bath tubs does Putin have in his house? Are they modern bath tubs or old style?
Da, that is the big question.
