Fox Wonders if Hillary's Age is the Reason She's Losing in NH-- No Mention of 71 Yr. Old John McCain

One of the three (yes three) segments Fox's "business news" guy, Neil Cavuto aired today (January 7, 2008) bashing Hillary Clinton, asked whether her age is the reason she's losing in New Hampshire. I know that John McCain's poll numbers are up, depending on the poll that is, but there was absolutely no mention of his 71 year old self because if there had been, Fox's BS premise would have fallen flat on its face.

Cavuto's guest was "Democratic strategist" Keli Goff (I've never seen her before. How many Democratic and Republican "strategists" are there in this world anyway? Can anyone be a "strategist"? Just wondering.) Cavuto introduced Goff with,



With that, a very articulate and enthusiastic Goff said Barack Obama looks "like a rock star" and attracts young people with his enthusiasm. She pointed out that at Clinton's concession speech in Iowa, she was surrounded by the likes of Madeline Albright, Wesley Clark, and Bill Clinton, "the cocoon society," as Cavuto called it. Goff said young people "get involved when they get inspired to get involved."

Full story.

They all have some sort of worm in their heads.

his public relations platform. He would then freeze the internets in the interest of national security and declare martial law cancelling the selection process for 08, thus finalizing the coup. Think I'm kidding?

Well, I suppose it's too early for public self-congratulations, and besides, it's not over. In fact, it's hardly begun. That's why they are pushing so hard for premature closure of the primary process, so that they can concentrate on one target (and they don't care which one) because they don't have the resources to hit all three at once, what with no viable option of their own to offer as an alternative.

You play the cards you have, and hope that your opponent does something stupid so you can winkle out a win, or at least a draw. A combination of strategies much like cut throat Euchre.

I can never understand right-wing "thinking", so maybe someone can help me out here. They seem to want Hill to be the nominee so they can muster their Army Of Hate to swarm the polls and defeat her. But, they bash her all the time, presumably to stir up more incoherent right-wing hatred for her.

Does it not occur to them that if they keep bashing her they actually reduce the chances of the desired Hillary nomination?

Boy, the righties sure are in a mess right now, aren't they? I'm lovin' it.
