Hillary Crashing in California

January 31, 2008

By Dick Morris & Eileen McGann

Stop the presses! The very latest polling data from California indicates a sharp trend for Obama and against Hillary. Preliminary indications in other states are that the trend is very widespread and not just concentrated on the west coast.

Pollster Scott Rasmussen's three day tracking survey, conducted on January 28-30, shows Hillary with a bare and dwindling 3 point lead over Obama in California. He has Hillary at 43%, Obama at 40%, and Edwards (two of the three days were before he dropped out) at 9%. This data compares with a 20 point plus Hillary margin in most polls in California just a few weeks ago.

Legacy is a sore spot for Bill Clinton, as Obama shows

January 31, 2008

By Charles Krauthammer 

Legacy? What legacy?

There was general amazement when (the now-muzzled) Bill Clinton did his red-faced, attack-dog, race-baiting performance in South Carolina. Friends, Democrats and longtime media sycophants were variously perplexed, repulsed, enraged, mystified and shocked that this beloved ex-president would so jeopardize his legacy by stooping so low.

What they don't understand is that for Clinton, there is no legacy. What he was doing on the low road from Iowa to South Carolina was fighting for a legacy — a legacy that he knows history has denied him and that he has but one chance to redeem.

Clinton is a narcissist but also smart and analytic enough to distinguish adulation from achievement. Among Democrats, he is popular for twice giving them the White House, something no Democrat has done since FDR. And the bouquets he receives abroad are simply signs of the respect routinely given ex-presidents, though Clinton earns an extra dollop of fawning, with the accompanying fringe benefits, because he is (a) charming and (b) not George W. Bush.

But Clinton knows this is all written on sand. It is the stuff of celebrity. What gnaws at him is the verdict of history. What clearly enraged him more than anything this primary season was Barack Obama's statement that "Ronald Reagan changed the trajectory of America in a way that … Bill Clinton did not."

Hillary ‘too divisive’ to unite voters, says Barack Obama

January 31, 2008

Barack Obama launched his most pointed attack yet on Hillary Clinton yesterday, saying she was too divisive to win back the White House for Democrats.

In a speech to more than 10,000 people in a hockey stadium at the University of Denver - with thousands more in overflowing halls and left waiting outside - Senator Obama said Senator Clinton would be a step back to the past.

Hillary’s plan for economic ruin

January 31, 2008

By Jay Ambrose

Hillary Rodham Clinton sat down with The New York Times to outline her economic plans if elected president, and we now know the sad, sordid facts - how confused the senator is and how intent she is on ruinous policies.

Hillary's plan for economic ruin

We should thank her for her honesty after first reviewing some of her points, such as the notion that business is now insufficiently regulated and that government should be exercising more power in the marketplace.

Bill Clinton: “We Just Have to Slow Down Our Economy” to Fight Global Warming

January 31, 2008

Former President Bill Clinton was in Denver, Colorado, stumping for his wife yesterday.

Bill Clinton: "We just have to slow down our economy"

In a long, and interesting speech, he characterized what the U.S. and other industrialized nations need to do to combat global warming this way: "We just have to slow down our economy and cut back our greenhouse gas emissions 'cause we have to save the planet for our grandchildren."

At a time that the nation is worried about a recession is that really the characterization his wife would want him making? "Slow down our economy"?

I don't really think there's much debate that, at least initially, a full commitment to reduce greenhouse gases would slow down the economy….So was this a moment of candor?

He went on to say that his the U.S. — and those countries that have committed to reducing greenhouse gases — could ultimately increase jobs and raise wages with a good energy plan..

So there was something of a contradiction there.

Or perhaps he mis-spoke.
