Yogi Berra was right. It ain't ovah till it's ovah. But ... here's where she lost it. Since we now know that tears work, the perfect time for the forward-planning Clinton would have been the Lewinsky affair -- which solidified her steely-cold image. She may have thought it would show weakness (as a potential Senator or presidential candidate). And she should have ended her marriage-of-political-convenience. This way she cuts herself lose from Bill's past and present baggage and becomes the darling come-back story of the century. She would have appeared feminine, yet strong, sympathetic and inspiring. And perhaps happier.
The problem with hillary divorcing BJ clinton is that she is nothing without him. What I mean is, whatever political capital she has garnered, comes from the continuing popularity of her husband, not from her.
I am not a prophet, so I do not know what will be. Obama certainly has the momentum, and is a far more likeable person than Hillary is, but is it possible that Obama's bubble will burst, waking up people to the fact that he is nothing but an empty suit? At least Hillary has some substance to her.
All of us better start hoping that Hillary will be the Democratic nominee for President. Polls have repeatedly and consistently shown that McCain would beat Hillary, but would lose to Obama.
I have liked and supported John McCain for some time now, but I know that conservative purists have never tired of attacking him. The elections in November will be decided by whether such Republicans care enough about this country to bury their differences with John McCain because he is the best candidate left for the office of the Presidency.
