The Clintons came of age at the time of the 1968 Chicago Convention riots, and Hillary in particular served as a lawyer prosecuting President Nixon for wrongdoing in the Watergate scandal. There she was privy to the way the world works. One facet of the scandal was the work of Donald Segretti, who task was called ratf***ing, or the politics of personal destruction.
I am surprised at people's response when I declare Hillary will be the next president. They usually say something along the lines of "it is unprecedented." Hunh? What in a country less than 250 years old is anything "precedented." And then I simply say, "You don't know the Clintons."
Now, Bill Clinton is slotted to two speeches at the convention. One early, and one crucial.
After Warren finishes her convention remarks at the Time Warner Cable Arena in Charlotte, N.C., Clinton is slated to deliver a speech that culminates with the former president formally nominating Obama for a second term.
Or not. maybe by this time Obama has withdrawn. Or the party elders have decided he cannot beat Mitt, so they need to change horses. One way or another, Clintons speech will be one of the most famous in history.
In the meantime, the Republican theme is a conciliatory "He tried, we tried, it did not work, let's try someone else. Vote Mitt." Well, any democrat could view that as well as "He tried, we tried, it did not work, let's try someone else. Draft Hillary."
In the meantime, the right wing is busy with the politics of personal destruction on Obama, aiding the Clintons. Here Jerome Corsi takes apart a photo from the Obama campaign website. It is a poorly doctored photo. Corsi claims it is proof of a coverup. Corsi has a phd from Harvard. He is a smart guy. He knows Occams razor. Is a poorly doctored photo on the Obama website the result of a African based communist conspiracy stretching back decades as Corsi outlines? Or is some Clinton functionary ratf***king Obama from inside the campaign, putting up a poorly doctored photo guaranteed to be spotted by opposition campaigners?
The free market is already the best way to advance democracy because one transaction, one vote.
Hillary 2012!
