Quote of the Day
"When it takes two weeks and six different positions to answer one question on immigration, it's easier to understand why the Clinton campaign would rather plant their questions than answer them."
Bill Burton, Barack Obama's spokesman.

Clinton Campaign Unraveling

First, Clinton was guilty of "Doublespeak."
Now, it's planting questions in the audience.
What's next?

Clintonian Nuance
(Picture from the AP)Hillary Clinton: "What, what Governor Spitzer is trying to do is fill the vacuum left by the failure of this administration to bring about comprehensive immigration reform. We know in New York we have several million at any one time who are in New York illegally. They are undocumented workers. They are driving on our roads. The possibility of them having an accident that harms themselves or others is just a matter of the odds. It's probability...I did not say that it should be done, but I certainly recognize what Governor Spitzer is trying to do."
Tim Russert: Senator Clinton, I just want to make sure of what I heard. Do you, the New York Senator, Hillary Clinton, support the New York governor's plan to give illegal immigrants a driver's license? You told the New Hampshire paper that it made a lot of sense. Do you support his plan?
Hillary Clinton: "You know, Tim, this is where everybody plays 'gotcha.' It makes a lot of sense. What is the governor supposed to do? He is dealing with a serious problem. We have failed. And George Bush has failed. Do I think this is the best thing for any Governor to do? No. But do I understand the sense of real desperation, trying to get a handle on this?"
Democratic Debate
Sorry for my lack of posts of late. I have been pretty busy.
A couple of comments regarding the Democratic Presidential Debate on Tuesday. I am not usually a fan of Tim Russert, but he really gave Hillary Clinton some hard questions especially the National Archive one and the one regarding Eliot Spitzer's attempt to grant drivers licenses to illegal immigrants. These were hard questions for Clinton to address. She did a good job of not getting rattled. She gave some sort of an answer, although they were very evasive in nature.
The other candidates did a good job of calling her out on that.
Biden is the most likeable of the candidates. He is well-spoken and good natured. It's too bad the Democrats don't have the wisdom to nominate him. He is definitely aiming to be Secretary of State. We won't see him bashing any of his fellow candidates. Surely he doesn't want to stir any bad blood.
Here is my analysis of the winners and losers of this debate.
Winners
1. Joe Biden- He only got 6 or so minutes, but used them wisely.
2. Chris Dodd- His opposition to Spitzer's drivers license program will help him with moderates. He called having a driver's license a "privilege," not a right. It's one of the few sensible things I have ever heard him say.
3. Barack Obama- The fact that he challenged Hillary in this debate, especially on the National Archive issue helped him out. The politics of hope are dead.
Losers
1. Dennis Kucinich- He saw a UFO and with that sight, he lost any national electoral potential.
2. Hillary Clinton- This debate could be a turning point. She is finally being challenged and gave confusing and convoluted answers to the tough questions.
3. Bill Richardson- His emphasis on diplomacy and his refusal to go negative, will hurt him. I can't picture him leading the United States in the war against Islamofascists.

Clinton Fundraising
http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-na-donors19oct19,0,4231217.story?coll=la-home-center
How likely is it that a poor dishwasher in Chinatown donated $1,000 or $2,000 dollars to Hillary Clinton's campaign?
This is very doubtful and appears to be the classic case of rich donors using the names and identities (probably with the permission of these people) to donate money to Hillary. It's their way of getting around the inconvenient $2,300 contribution limit.
The FBI or someone should investigate this closely. This could be the downfall of Hillary Clinton.
