Time for a "Trujillo Retrospective".
I wasn't voting for her anyway, but I think she is smarter than McCain and Obama combined.
I think Obama is so loaded with problems that the Republicans are licking their chops, especially now that that fundraiser friend of his was convicted today.
Look for that in the news.
4:57
Smarter than Obama???
Who took a 100% name recognition, 100 million dollars, 40% frontrunner status, and unprecedented endorsements and tanked the campaign anyway.
Her judgement was suspect as soon as she welcomed Tony Villar into her campaign.
This is not a smart person, definitely not smarter than Obama. Only dumbasses won't recognize this.
I think the Republicans would have been licking their chops whether it was Hillary or Barack at the top of the Democratic ticket. I am sad for Hillary and what could have been but she went down swinging. Time to get behind Obama and his big ears!
What Tony Villar and Meat Trujillo didn't bank on is that Barack Obama is not Jim Hahn.
Once you've had Barack, you'll never go back!
OBAMA HASN'T EVEN RUN A LAW FIRM, LET ALONE A STATE!!!
YOU GUYS THINK HE CAN RUN THE UNITED STATES?
HE-HASN'T-EVEN-RUN-A-LAW-FIRM!!!
AND HE ASSOCIATES WITH WHITE-HATING RACE BAITERS AND A BOMB-PLANTER. BAD-JUDGEMENT FOLKS!
She was BRILLIANT for bringing idiot Villaraigosa on-board.
Latino's aren't voting for a black, and she seized upon his influence with that band of easily impressed idiots who follow Villaraigosa into the ocean.
WATCH and you'll see that Obama brings on Villaraigosa. He's already begging Obama to help.
Rick Orlov is reporting that someone is reporting that Antonio has already thrown it over for Obama. The two of them can play ethnic identity politics together, and Obama will be glad to have him. It won't hurt him, but the country has suffered a loss in losing out on Billary -- under them the country had foreign respect, a strong economy and common sense.
Obama won't win, so he and Antonio can put off going to Washington. Obama's way too radically left for the average American, and if we pull out of Iraq right away like he wants, Iran will take over, like they already have the southern half of Iraq, which contains the oil. They've financed and controlled the party who controls the south for 25 years. They're playing nice right now, hoping Obama's dumb enough to just pull out and leave them the oil.
I admire Hillary going down swinging and holding on to those 18 million people who voted for her.
She holds on to her influence, unconventional as it is. It shows she's got leadership and influence whereas Obama is something of a patsy who is now backed into a corner on the VP thing.
I will not vote for Obama and neither should you.
I have never in my entire life voted for a Republican and I can't now, but Obama over Hillary? I'm feeling woozy.
If Antonio is reaching out to Obama - which no doubt he is doing because Parke Skelton has taught him well to blow with the wind ( this is why he went with Hillary initially) - he will have to wait in line behind Xavier Becerra who backed Obama from the beginning. And after Becerra there is Gloria Romero.
Obama has smart people in his campaign and Antonio does not fit the bill. Standing in the Latino line behind a Stanford Law graduate and a Ph.D. will leave Antonio out in the cold.
Plus Michelle will keep Barack away from unprincipled punks like Antonio, ever wonder why Bill Clinton hates him so much - because Obama is not a scumbag.
Landslide Coming in November!
Obama, Obama, Obama!
Okay, Higby, this should put it to rest even for you: David Z reports tonight that Hertzberg definitely is NOT running for anything this year or next. Says he'd love to get back in the game, but obviously realized that he doesn't have a chance. Sayonara.
Obama needs the conservative WHITE vote...not the hispanic vote! He needs all of the Reps. who are NOT going to vote for McCain, including myself!
I am a lifelong Rep., but I will never vote McCain because of the McCain/Kennedy Amnesty legislation. I would never have voted for Hillary...I would have gone Ind., but now that Obama has won...I will definitely vote for him!
Unlike Hillary, Obama is NOT a panderer! He is his own man...albeit liberal to the core. He just seems to have more deceny than any of the others.
The hispanic vote is sooooooo overrated!
"Her judgement was suspect as soon as she welcomed Tony Villar into her campaign."
Hillary is smarter and more vindictive than most men. I believe that she would get us into more problems than either Obama ot McMain.
Remember it is said that the Clinton administration was responsible for the death of Ron Brown and at least three other people who "died" mysteriously by suicide or accident.
Remeber that Villar changed his name because he was involved in a violent episode involving someones life.
Two of a kind...but she is a lot smarter.
7:47: Obama "doesn't pander" to the Hispanic vote? What kind of dum dum are you?
When Hillary stuck to her guns about no driver licenses for illegals, having seen how unpopular that idea was in NY, Obama promptly gave La Opinion an interview saying he would push for it AND for giving Hispanic illegals a path to papers with NO penalty. You don't have any idea what you're talking about.
I savored every word of Hitchens' obituary...DELICIOUS! Enjoy!
Christopher Hitchens on how we haven't seen the back of the Clintons yet
5/06/2008
(What's this?)I have detested the Clintons ever since I covered the New Hampshire primary in 1992. The man I saw was not the silver-tongued charmer who seems to have bewitched so many people.
Up close, he seemed like a red-cheeked, piggy-eyed bully with a mean streak a mile wide.
And when he lied - which he more or less did for a living - he had a hard-faced little spouse to step into the TV studios to cover up for him.
This woman put up with A LOT from Bill over the years but could always tell herself it was worth it because in the long run the experience would give her the presidency she so obviously deserved.

Over the years I watched this gruesome drama - the Clintons using and abusing the democratic process as marital therapy - until, the morning after this year's Iowa caucuses, it finally seemed to be over.
A good friend of mine wrote an exultant article saying Barack Obama had done us the huge favour of moving America into a "post-Clinton" era.
No more would the happy couple be able to inflict themselves on us. We were free from Lanny Davis and Harold Ickes and Howard Wolfson and Hillary's ghastly brothers and all the easy money riff-raff who had benefited from Clinton's last minute pardons.
As I read it I was hit with the queasy realisation I didn't believe a word of it. My friend Congressman Steve Cohen was forced to apologise the other day for comparing the former First Lady to Glenn Close rising from the bathtub in Fatal Attraction.
It's actually been more like a movie about an unkillable swamp creature or lagoon dweller.
And the morning after the last two primaries Lanny Davis was circulating a petition in the Democratic party to attach her to the Obama ticket.
"Good grief," I found myself muttering. "Is there no end to this woman and her overweening ambition?"
Well, THAT was a dumb question and no mistake.
Her performance in New York on Tuesday night was positively flabbergasting. Having won South Dakota, she congratulated that state on having "the last word"- while Montana's results were still being counted.
She congratulated Mr Obama all right but not for having won by securing the majority of delegates.
She let it be known that she would accept the vice presidential nomination without ceasing to count herself a candidate for the Presidential one.
And she demanded - wait for it - "respect" for the 18 million people who had voted for her. In other words, unless she gets a great deal of care and feeding and pampering, 18 million Americans will have been dissed.
The nerve. The nerve is really quite something.
In Washington yesterday, at the same pro-Israel podium at which Mr Obama spoke earlier, Mrs Clinton spoke of the man who has un precedentedly won the nomination as if he was just another Senator, like her, just another friend of Israel, like her.
There was a time one might have expected a Jewish audience to be asked to applaud the choice of the first black American nominee but Mrs Clinton couldn't find it in herself to be quite that gracious.
Indeed, if any one thing has exposed the hollowness and rottenness of the Clintons it is the almost casual way they have ignored their old black friends and allies to pursue a Clintonian version of a white backlash "southern strategy". Nothing is excluded if it serves the cause of the great entitlement.
From 16 years of polemics against this dynasty, I had acquired a huge shelf of anti-Clinton books and even written one myself in an effort to get the poison out of my system. For about 10 seconds after Iowa I thought of tossing them out. But now I think I'll have to hold on to my arsenal. I shall be needing it again.
Perhaps it's a Jaws-type movie I'm trying to think of. Like a Great White Shark, Mrs Clinton will never stop her relentless predations until the very end.
