Hillary Clinton has tried for one year to slow down the Barack Obama movement. Early in the Campaign she went with the aura of inevitability. As the campaign went on, she made the decision to go with the ace in the hole she’s been planning on using since she ran for the senate: I’ve got the experience. Since Hillary has been in the Senate, she’d been padding her resume with foreign relation committees to fight off all the argument she knew/thought she’d have to face as a woman and a democrat. When a vote came up to give G.W. Bush the authority to go to war with a country to take Iraq’s oil contracts away from Russia and China and hand them to Exxon and Haliburton, Hillary had no choice…she had to say yes or she couldn’t be President because she thought everyone would see her as weak.  In actuality, they just see her as part of the problem. 

As time went on and the U.S. military was unable to solve 1,000 year old disputes between different Islamic religious sects, it became apparent that the new politician Barack Obama started to get the upper hand due to his grasp of the issues, message of hope, and most importantly…foresight to point out what so many other non-politicians could see was obvious: invading a Islamic country that DIDN’T have terrorists probably wasn’t the best idea in a war against terrorism.

As Barack started to get the upper hand, the hypocrisy began; whether it was the tough Hillary shedding tears in New Hampshire, or Bill Clinton (the country’s “first black president”) inferring that Barack just won South Carolina because he was black.  The hypocrisy continued into Hillary trying to hit Obama for not being prepared for the big decisions that lie ahead when she was obviously making decisions to go to war for personal gain. She has claimed to be against the special interests and corporations despite taking more money from lobbyists than any other candidate while Barack hasn’t taken a dime from Lobbyists or political action committees.

Result: Loss after loss.

Insert John McCain. What can they do to attack this new style politician who has few weaknesses? Well, the first thing you have to do is poll your republican base to determine how racist you can be without them jumping ship. Done.

Second, do what Hillary did in sending something to try and scare the electorate into thinking that Barack is Muslim. That’s exactly what McCain’s campaign did in sending out a crazy Rush Limbaugh style talk show host to rile up the crowd and try to scare them because his middle name sounds like the bad guy in Iraq. Then act like you didn’t know anything about it and apologize. Seems like a perfect recipe to scare off any Independent votes John is hoping to get.

In the meantime, let the fear mongering begin.
