Political assassins from A to Z, including former New York City mayor and Democrat Ed Koch, have taken to bellowing that Barack Obama “threw his grandmother under the bus” when he referred to her as a typical white person in this radio interview.
Perhaps Koch and the rest were projecting ahead of partisan backlash to come following Hillary Clinton’s appearance on FOX News this evening. Billed as an interview, it plays like an endorsement, with Greta Van Susteren pitching soft balls to a Clinton-in-red who stood stiffly before an American flag and suggestive backdrop like one Mike Huckabee used in this ad.
Clinton is oblivious to how deeply she’s hated by Republicans crossing over in record numbers to ensure her a good showing in Pennsylvania and elsewhere. 2012 will not be her year; Gore, Kerry and Edwards will empathise.
Or maybe not. They seem to have standards that the Clintons lack.
I voted in the primary for Obama. I can’t stand the thought of seeing Hilary campaign for 4 more months afer the convention.
“Clinton is oblivious to how deeply she’s hated by Republicans crossing over in record numbers to ensure her a good showing in Pennsylvania and elsewhere.”
Uh, dear genius, Pennsylvania is a closed party primary.

“In the days after the March 24 voter registration deadline, state election officials will release figures that measure the almost singular focus of Obama’s field operation until then: political conversions.
Obama is attempting to crack open Pennsylvania’s closed party primary, initiating a program to flip the registrations of independent and Republican voters to Democrat. “
The fact is, Obama’s the one who has benefited from crossover votes more than Clinton, and that’s the reason why he’s doing this.
You Obamabots will say anything to shift attention away from Jeremiah Wright.
If “crossing over” is a term reserved for open primaries and “anything else” for closed then pundits and reporters across the mediums need to be alerted. Are you busy?
“The fact is, Obama’s the one who has benefited from crossover votes”….
What facts support this opinion? The Clinton campaign might disagree with you on that one.
“If “crossing over” is a term reserved for open primaries and “anything else” for closed then pundits and reporters across the mediums need to be alerted.”
Can you translate that into English?
” Are you busy?”
Too busy to understand your illogic.
“Clinton fares better in states such as Pennsylvania that have closed primaries, in which only Democrats can vote.”
Dumbass.
“In which only Democrats can vote…”
(from your article)
“Figures released this week by the state show Pennsylvania Democrats have added more than 65,000 voters since last fall — almost 2 percent of the party’s statewide registration of 3.8 million — while Republicans gained only 3,212.”
