Very little “new” in the news today, which leaves only ongoing discussion in the press about one of its favorite recent topics, Bill Clinton’s wife’s presidential run in 2016.
While most articles treat her pending candidacy as being virtually guaranteed, recent events, such as her private email account, have others believing she may be vulnerable again, as she was to Obama last time around.
Phil Noble, a businessman in Charleston and President of the S.C. New Democrats, an independent reform group founded by former Gov. Richard Riley “to bring big change and real reform” to the party, wrote an article posted on scnewsexchange.com, via Drudge.
According to Mr. Noble, “Democrats in South Carolina are not a group that is easily impressed, but recently former Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley really impressed them… as in a standing ovation impressed.
“All the national pundits and so-called experts who are saying that Hillary has it all wrapped up should take note, because it just ain’t so– at least not in South Carolina.”
Mr. Noble went on to ask, “Now, is O’Malley a long shot? Sure he is – a real long shot, both in South Carolina and nationally. But Hillary is no more invincible now than she was in 2008, maybe less so.
“O’Malley is a bright, new leader with an impressive record that is attracting people wherever he goes – especially the next generation types with the energy, commitment and passion that can fuel outsider candidates. These are the folks that don’t like to hear the status quo political insiders saying O’Malley should “respect his elders and wait his turn.”
What was most interesting was the implication that to many “political insiders,” presidential candidacy has nothing to do with capability or competence but is merely a result of having paid one’s dues in the party hierarchy. However, if that were really true, husband Bill would never have gotten the nomination himself, being quite far down the line. And then, nobody would be talking about his wife now. Because without his presidency, no one would ever have heard of her at all.
Another interesting opinion about Bill’s wife was found in thehill.com/blogs by Jesse Byrnes, who wrote that according to Darryl “Issa: Clinton could have committed a crime.”
The opinion, though, came from reader, Lysergsäure who responded to another, as follows: “Tony, George Soros IS the DNC. He tossed her under the bus last time, he will again. I suspect he views her as too old and senile to make good puppet material. You're right though, past criminal activity is a badge of honor to a Democrat.”
Most of the other comments were also anti-candidacy which implies that despite her anointment by the mainstream media, this contest is not only not over, it likely hasn’t even started yet.
That's it for today folks.
Adios
