Poof goes the Clinton candidacy?

Here's Ron Christie on The Hill blog, proffering that the Clinton campaign is on its last legs:

And now Sen. Clinton has decided to dig a bigger hole for herself by attacking the integrity and candor of Iowa caucus front-runner Obama. And Clinton is attacking a political candidate for his integrity and candor? As “Dandy” Don Meredith used to sing on “Monday Night Football” decades ago late in the fourth quarter: “Turn out the lights, the party’s over. All good things must come to an end.” Attacking Sen. Obama, a fresh face and generally positive campaigner, with the Clinton War Machine will remind voters once again why they have tired of Clintons posturing and preening at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Turn out the lights: After losing Iowa and New Hampshire, the Clinton party will be over for 2008.
Oh how I'd like to believe it, but Clinton's War Machine is extremely well-funded and organized. Then again, if the Rule of 14 has taught us anything, it's that Americans get fed up with national figures and then start to wonder if they want them in their living rooms for four (more) years.

Well-funded? No doubt. Well organized? I beg to differ Eric gien all the stupid nonsense her and her campaign has gotten into.

There is nothing, and I mean NOTHING, that could ever make me vote for her. And I am sure there is a large portion of this country that feels the same way.

Then it's really good that you fled a blue state, where your vote might have mattered.

I am sure there is a large portion of this country that feels the same way.

Judging by the polls, Bush still has ~60 million diehard fellow foes of reality. That's quite large. Not large enough to do squat in 2008, of course. But large nonetheless.

Be prepared to sense a large disturbance, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.

Nice Star Wars quotes. Here's a few Hillary-related ones for you:

"I'm surprised that you had the courage to take the responsibility yourself."

"Before the dark times... before....Hillary."

On another Clinton administration: "You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious."

"Who's the more foolish: Hillary, or the fool who follows her?"

"Absolutely, your Worship. Look, I had everything under control until you led us down here."

The Rebel Alliance (aka 72% of America) speaks to George W. Bush and his reinforced-crotch soldier suit:

"This is some rescue. You came in here and you didn’t have a plan for getting out?”

"I've got a bad feeling about this."

"Into the garbage chute, flyboy!"

"Now let's blow this thing and go home!"
