Five months ago—The Iowa caucuses were about to come upon us—-and the media had ordained Hillary Clinton as the front runner…

Today—with five months to go to the November elections—Hillary Clinton may be down—but if you believe she’s out— you’d better rethink that ’cause neither Hillary nor the fat lady at the end of the opera is singing a swan song.

As Barack Obama grabbed the mantle of the presumptive democratic nominee, Hillary made a speech many pundits viewed as aggressive and almost confrontational where she said among other things that she’ll “make no decision tonight.”

She continued to tout herself as the best choice to beat McCain—and you can bet she’ll be working behind the scenes right up until the Democratic convention in Denver to figure out a way to be the one who runs against him.

The following clip truly defines Hillary and her core constituency: Angry, aloof, and assuming they are entitled to what they deem is theirs.

There are some who say she’ll “accept” a spot as the Vice Presidential candidate.

But before Barack Obama offers her that he ought to consider two things.

• She’s consistently displayed a lack of character during this entire process.

• If Obama is elected president, he’ll have to contend with her AND Bill Clinton in the White House at the same time.

Think about THAT Barack.

Think about it carefully.

The political chefs continue cooking—but who would have thought they’d still be using essence de la Hillary to spice up the political stew this late in the season…

METAPHORICALLY SPEAKING….

As we close in on the West Virginia primary, the “never-say-quit” girl continues to run, even as her financial gas tanks empty and an ever increasing number of Superdelegates leave her side of the road to the White House creating more and more potholes for her to navigate around….

Caught in the grips of the crocodile’s jaws, she’s yelling “full steam ahead to the White House” while the beast is about to crush her while doing the death roll underwater…

EXIT STAGE LEFT….

Back in the 60’s—one of the lesser known Saturday morning cartoon characters from the Hanna-Barbera stable was a pink lion known as Snagglepuss...

When he got into trouble one of his running tag lines was “exit stage left..”

Now, would be a good time for Hillary to figure out an exit strategy… The longer she waits—the less graceful it will be…

VEEPING THROUGH THE KEYHOLE….

There are some indications Clinton’s trying to open the door to her departure by angling to become Obama’s Veep…

Her biographer, Carl Bernstein, says that in this interview you can read here..

In the meantime, a newly created political group called VOTEBOOTH— which was formed just before the Pennsylvania primary— has been pushing the Hillary for vice president issue everywhere it can.

But, as you can read here— Votebooth is actually made up of Clinton operatives and supporters. Another backdoor hint that Hillary is hoping to snag the v.p. spot???

Things standing in the way of that would be Clinton’s high negatives, and Michelle Obama’s reported extreme dislike of Hillary…

WHOSE THAT LADY?

Meanwhile both McCain and Obama are now completely ignoring Hillary as they wage their campaigns.

Instead when they talk about opponents, they talk about each other—not her.

Further emphasizing his new campaign focus, Obama is now visiting states without upcoming primaries—indicating he’s not worried about her winning this Tuesday’s primary in West Virginia…
