Haven't heard much about "the Coronation of Hillary" lately. Have you?
No matter what the trends are today, the one certainly thing is that they will not remain as they are.

This is a very lively primary campaign, and the winner will have fought for it, not inherited it.

Hillary is not considered the shoo-in she once was.
She's also not the dead duck she once was.
She's also not the front-runner she came back to be until a few days ago.
She's not out of the race by a long shot yet.

We're only at the half-mile pole.

1. Didn't you hear? It's not Hillary who's running, it's "The Clintons."
Great way to demean a woman, don't you think? By implying it's really the man who's running? I can just imagine the strategy session that came up with this way of avoiding the "sexism" accusation. The Obama fans have adopted it without thinking twice. Or even once.

2. It's easy to do when Bill won't shut up.
Who spoke first on national TV last night after Obama's win? Bill, who talked about himself for over an hour. It's difficult to keep it Hillary Clinton when the two have a tag-teaming strategy. Hillary often refers to Bill's time in the WH as part of her experience. Whether you like it or not, if Hillary ends up becoming president, it will be a co-presidency. She will not be able to keep her husband out of the spotlight or decision-making.

3. Bill's likely role in a Hillary Clinton presidency
Overseas as an ambassador sans portfolio.

She'll be happy to let him screw all the groupies he wants to as long as he brokers some major peace accords and keeps out of her face.

People overseas love Bill Clinton. Unlike we super-intelligent liberal American computer dweebs, they can not see the demonic horror that lives inside his heart.

--p!
Sarcasm? Moi?

12. They didn't put words in his mouth. He sets the tone by the use of the word "we" -

the man really seems to believe he's running right along side Hillary and her presidency will be a continuation of his. Kinda sad.

4. Bill is clearly running for a third term
I say that with the utmost respect for the senator from Mew York who is brilliant and saved her husband's campaign in 1992. But make no mistake, this is 2 for 1 even more than 1992 was.

5. Bill is openly referring to 'we' now
All through SC it was 'We will do this', 'We will do that' when elected. Hillary is pretty damn weak to need her man (that's a laugh) to defend her.

10. What makes you think she isn't running for the third term?
This is a strong powerful woman....She no doubt had a huge influence on her husbands administration.

6. Nope. Now the MSM cover story is the "Bore-onation" of Barack.
