**OO-LA-LA! I finally get why Hillary threatened an Oct. surprise for Obama.!!
Edited on Wed May-07-08 08:22 PM by PoliticalAmazon
Check it out.

Last night, while doing sudoku, drinking champagne and waiting for Gary to get their vote count done, listening to MSNBC, one of the pundits said something interesting, but it wasn't until just now that I made the connection to Hillary's threatened October suprise for Obama.

They were discussing why Hillary can't go on and why it would be bad for her career. One of the pundits said: Hillary losing Joe Andrew was a huge, huge blow to the Clintons because he was in the inner-inner Clinton circle AND HE KNEW ALL OF THE STUFF HER LAWYERS HAVE SAID, ALL THE INNER STRATEGIES...EVERYTHING ABOUT THE CLINTONS.

Hillary, pulling yet again another KarlRove, did what Rove repeatedly did during the Bush Jr campaigns and administration: Hillary said Obama would be getting an October surprise, the very thing that Hillary is scared to death she could get herself: a big surprise if Joe Andrew tells the Obama campaign where the Clinton bodies are buried.

I can't think of any other reason for Hillary to come out with that bizarre threat. We've seen her campaign. If she had something that would have served as an October surprise for Obama she would have let it fly months ago.

THe patterns fit.

God, no wonder Joe Andrew has looked like the Cheshire Cat every time he's on TV. He has the Clintons by the short hairs, and they know it.

1. I find it remarkable that some of the people closest to her have repudiated her
there is something far bigger at stake.

10. The more we find out about the Clintons, the scarier they are....
They are like Stalin only without the straight-forward panache.

2. If true and I were Joe I would be looking for a very safe place to hide from these...
nutjobs. They are just as ruthless as the Bush Administration in every way and they have the money to be very dangerous.

8. Obama should tell Hillary to get the hell out of the race or Andrew will sing...
Let's give Hillary a great big MAY Surprise.

15. Invalid comparison...
I assume you are referring to my signature line, the Sun Tzu quote, "When you become like your enemy, your enemy has won."

It is an invalid comparison because, for a comparison to be valid there must be more things similar between the two being compared than things that are different.

1. I am not a presidential candidate.
2. I have not lied about my opponent.
3. I have not misquoted and twisted my opponent's words to reflect something bad and completely different than what my opponent clearly intended when he spoke the words.
4. I have not used racial divisiveness to win my battle.
5. I have not pandered to bigots to win my battle.
6. I have not pandered to ANYBODY to win my battle.
7. I have not lied about my experience.
8. I have not failed to fulfill my promises.

The list goes on and on.

So, if you disagree with my opinion, why?

16. I wonder how many others, especially in the media, have made this connection?...
...and why haven't they said something about it?
