So I was over on the right wing blog Huffington Post, when I spotted this headline, “Obama Camp Turns to Clinton to Counter Palin.” I laughed out loud before I even read the accompanying article.
Since Republican presumptive VP Sarah Palin hit one out of the park at the Republican convention last week, the timing of this “rescue mission” could not be more perfect. Suddenly, Palin is a media superstar overnight and Obama is forced to recognize! And now John McCain isn’t looking so dumb after all.
But is the Obama camp really that clueless to believe they can count on Hillary Clinton during their desperate time of need? Or did Obama overestimate Palin the same way he has overestimated the black community so far?
Didn’t I say Hills would do a disappearing act once it became clear she was not Barack Obama’s choice for VP? I’m sure she’s somewhere laughing her ass off right now.
Peep this excerpt from the Huffington Post article:
Advisers to Mrs. Clinton said that she stood ready to help the Obama-Biden ticket, but they urged the campaign not to overestimate the impact Mrs. Clinton could have, noting that she had other commitments this fall, like campaigning and raising money for Senate candidates.
LOL! I guess Senate candidates are more important than helping Obama secure the presidency.
