Hillary Clinton was the odds on favorite to win the Democrat nomination for President even as recently as January 1, 2008. What has happened over the last 60 days is truly remarkable for the Barack Obama campaign and most troubling for the Hillary Clinton campaign. The biggest failure for Hillary Clinton and her cadre of high dollar consultants was the foolish premise that Barack Obama was the lesser threat over such Democrat standard bearers like Senator Joe Biden, Senator Chris Dodd, and Governor Bill Richardson of New Mexico. Well, this certainly proved to be faulty thinking in the Clinton camp. Those seasoned Democrats fell by the wayside like they were saplings in a tornado. That tornado was Barack Obama. So, it is now the eleventh hour and Hillary Clinton has been trying every strategy except the winning strategy. The fact that Hillary Clinton is a female is being "couched" by other female Democrats. That is a nice try, but totally without merit. The fact that she is female is irrelevant. The fact that her name is Hillary Clinton is what is relevant. Hillary Clinton cannot be discussed without mentioning Bill Clinton. That is one of her mis-givings. The second significant fact is that Hillary Clinton is purely duplicitous, no doubt about that. Hillary Clinton, although smart, was not smart enough. The only thing Hillary Clinton can reflect back on after she ultimately relents and withdraws her candidacy is the fact that she had the wrong team guiding her and the wrong surname. So, in the MSNBC debate tonight in Cleveland Ohio Hillary Clinton will be in her "Waterloo". Truth will prevail and the simple truth is Hillary Clinton will not be the Democrat candidate for President in 2008. Remember, anybody but Hillary Clinton for President!
