A visitor to Clinton HQ sees signs of serious trouble
February 29, 2008
By Eleanor Clift
The day of reckoning for Hillary Clinton is almost here. The voters in Ohio will either deal a final blow to her campaign or provide a much needed victory that at best will give her a reprieve in the long march to the nomination. A visitor from another country recently paid a call on the Clinton campaign headquarters in Ballston, Va., a place just over the bridge from Washington but light years away. He imagined he would be present at a moment of great triumph. Instead he found a campaign on the verge of imploding. Phone bank tables were unmanned. Bins full of mail sent over from the Senate sat unattended. A lot of young women, fanatical Hillary fans all, rushed about, seemingly unclear about what they were supposed to be doing. Other aides sat in front of computer screens, gloomily reading coverage of the campaign. Howard Wolfson and Phil Singer, the campaign's communications team, weren't speaking with anybody else, just doing their own thing, whatever that might have been. In short, it was not a happy family.

Hillary plays gender card; ‘I just wish that it were a little more of an even playing field’…
February 29, 2008
Whiny Hillary is facing the biggest loss of her '35 years' and all she can think to do is play the gender and victim cards. Hey, it's worked for her before! Hillary does not have the character to be president, and hopefully after the next round of primaries, she will be gone.
From ABC News Political Punch:
In an interview with ABC News' Cynthia McFadden to air on this evening's "Nightline," Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., says it's tougher for her to run as a woman than it is for her male opponent.
