Hillary's (gone) mad

Anyone who pays attention to politics may have noticed Hillary's crazy "shame on you" outburst this weekend followed by her mocking of Obama saying that he thinks that the clouds will open and the heavens will shine down on us and we will all be perfect. Its a big change of tone for someone who was so honored to be on stage with Barack only a few days ago. What gives?

Hillary not going to down without a fight. But is this really her best shot? Every week we have been subjected to a different crazy, angry rant from Hillary. I might be pissed if someone suggested I pimped out my daughter too, but there have been others - many others. Every time she does this, her negatives go through the roof because we are all reminded of what it will be like if she gets in the White House. Who wants this angry, crazy, foaming at the mouth, win at all costs stuff for 4 years? Does anyone want the national mother waging her finger and chewing our ass on a daily basis? Who does she think she's convincing with this stuff?

And by the way Hillary, Barack's not distorting your record. You were for NAFTA before you were against. That he's killing you with NAFTA, is that really his fault? True or false, did your husband sign NAFATA or not? You can't take credit for his administration and then not take credit for the failures too. And how exactly is Obama distorting your position on health care? You are for a mandate. You've said it yourself. You've said you'd go after the wages of people to get them on health care. You claim the strength of your plan is that 100% of people are covered and the way you are doing it is by compelling people to enroll. Really, what's the outrage about?

And then there's this business of running against hope and calling everyone who likes Obama naive. It hasn't worked so far and its not going to work. You really think running against change and hope is a platform for you?

Hillary, let me give you a few words of advice here. First, the math is not in your favor. You need to start thinking about your reputation and that of your husband. Is this really how you want to go out? Secondly, the ONLY shot you have is to convince people to vote FOR you because there is no anti-Barack Obama vote out there. This is an election where people are going to vote FOR someone and not against them. You have one week left.

I wonder which Hillary we will see tomorrow night?
