There's lots of chatter today about "What Clinton wishes she could say," the VandeHei & Harris piece ticking off the reasons that Hillary Clinton remains in the race.
The striking thing about the article is that the authors themselves never directly say why she can't "rip off the duct tape." Implicitly, the explanation is fear of so-called "reverse racism."
In that sense, the subtext of the "wishes she could say" idea is that Clinton is, yet again, a victim. This has been the story of their political career: victim this, victim that. Now the Clintons are saying they are the victims of racial intolerance? Puhlease.
To the extent Clinton doesn't want to address this stuff head-on, the reason is that in comparison to Obama, her own case is flimsy. Remember what happened when she accused Obama of not being ready to be president? Tuzla. Northern Ireland. NAFTA.
There's more out there about here that people don't know -- it's not just Colombia and Kazakhstan. It's also Bill Clinton's paid relationship with a Chinese company now participating in the Tibetan crackdown. It's the relationship between her staffers, her husband, and the United Arab Emirates, specifically the Dubai Ports deal. It's the next Sniper Fire. It's her lies about NAFTA, Iraq, and more. We have no idea what else might erupt. And to the extent we know what we're going to get -- we know it won't be the truth.
By telling reporters off-the-record that "she can't say" why Obama is unelectable, the Clinton campaign encourages reporters to focus on Obama without considering her own weaknesses; they masterfully manipulate the media into carrying Hillary's water without them even knowing it.Link to big dawg's relationship with China here:
