Well, sports fans, as the Clintons continue to disingenuously carp and whine that they're not being treated fairly by the media, more and more press members and outlets are striking back.
On Sunday, the New York Times columnist Frank Rich jumped on the anti-Clinton bandwagon actually opining that the resurrection of Bill could help the Republicans retain the White House in November.
In a piece deliciously titled "The Billary Road to Republican Victory," Rich strongly made the case that America isn't ready for the tag team of Bill and Hill (emphasis added throughout):
[T]he full-throttle emergence of Billary, the joint Clinton candidacy, is measured mainly within the narrow confines of the short-term horse race: Do Bill Clinton's red-faced eruptions and fact-challenged rants enhance or diminish his wife as a woman and a candidate?
Absent from this debate is any sober recognition that a Hillary Clinton nomination, if it happens, will send the Democrats into the general election with a new and huge peril that may well dwarf the current wars over race, gender and who said what about Ronald Reagan.
What has gone unspoken is this: Up until this moment, Hillary has successfully deflected rough questions about Bill by saying, "I'm running on my own" or, as she snapped at Barack Obama in the last debate, "Well, I'm here; he's not." This sleight of hand became officially inoperative once her husband became a co-candidate, even to the point of taking over entirely when she vacated South Carolina last week. With "two for the price of one" back as the unabashed modus operandi, both Clintons are in play.
Rich then categorized how despite highly-publicized claims to the contrary, the former first couple are doing everything in their power to prevent the release of White House records, correspondence between the pair, and donors lists that could shed light on what really happened in the Clinton administration:
At "Little Rock's Fort Knox," as the Clinton library has been nicknamed by frustrated researchers, it's not merely the heavy-hitting contributors who are under wraps. Even by the glacial processing standards of the National Archives, the Clintons' White House papers have emerged slowly, in part because Bill Clinton exercised his right to insist that all communications between him and his wife be "considered for withholding" until 2012.
When Mrs. Clinton was asked by Mr. Russert at an October debate if she would lift that restriction, she again escaped by passing the buck to her husband: "Well, that's not my decision to make." Well, if her candidacy is to be as completely vetted as she guarantees, the time for the other half of Billary to make that decision is here.
The credibility of a major Clinton campaign plank, health care, depends on it. In that same debate, Mrs. Clinton told Mr. Russert that "all of the records, as far as I know, about what we did with health care" are "already available." As Michael Isikoff of Newsweek reported weeks later, this is a bit off; he found that 3,022,030 health care documents were still held hostage. Whatever the pace of the processing, the gatekeeper charged with approving each document's release is the longtime Clinton loyalist Bruce Lindsey.
Finally, as Rich, much as the Times editorial staff before him, made the case that the GOP's success rides on the shoulders of John McCain, he offered the following telling statement:
Since Mr. McCain doesn't kick reporters like dogs, as the Clintons do, he will no doubt continue to enjoy an advantage, however unfair, with the press pack on the Straight Talk Express.
Think McCain's typically favorable press has something to do with how he treats media members? Maybe more important, what does it say about Billary that with all their experience, they don't understand this simple tenet?

Although I prefer to think that Billary IS alienating everyone, I take no comfort in the predictions of a left wingnut to ease my apprehensions about the next election for POTUS.

January 27, 2008 - 13:18 ET by Chris NormanIs McCain getting votes from a silent pool of "moderate" Republicans who have been lying low and unnoticed, or are there conservatives out there who have SUCKER stamped on their foreheads?

And this is a registered Republican votes only state. If he wins, it could be curtains for actual conservatives in 08. Then we see if Rush was right. Ho hum.

January 27, 2008 - 13:49 ET by Chris NormanJack,
True. However, I still don't understand from where in the party he is getting enthusiastic support. Surely, these people at his rallies aren't all independents. I've never seen any support voiced for McCain here, yet he is drawing crowds out there. Personally, I wouldn't cross the street to hear him speak. So the question remains, WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE??!!! Is my exasperation showing?
Chris -- well we are a
January 27, 2008 - 13:57 ET by Jack BauerChris -- well we are a self-selecting bunch of mainly conservatives on NB.
Most normal people aren't paying that much attention, though you'd think in a primary ther would be a slightly higher level of knowledge amongst the voters. You'd think!!!
I suspect many average Republican voters have no idea what McCain said six days ago, let alone six months, or six years ago.
Like it or not, the guy is a hero and that's all that matters for many. I assume. That and he's got an "R" after his name.
It would be all that mattered for conservatives as well, if he were actually a bleepin' conservative.

January 27, 2008 - 14:06 ET by Chris NormanJack, there does seem to be total disconnect between here and out there. You'd think we'd have just one person here to praise McCain or, at least, defend him. When he announced, I thought he was nuts, after all he has done to gum up the GOP chances in the last seven years. I'm appalled (and aghast) at his success so far.

Let's not forget bt this
January 27, 2008 - 14:47 ET by BlazerLet's not forget bt this man's campaign was nearly sunk about 5-6 month's ago because he couldn't get any financing or support from conservatives, but somehow hung on like a booger that wont' be wiped away.
Which lead's me to believe he is a creation of the MSM and I'll bet if one were to dig to see where his money was coming from they would see it was mostly coming from the left. I'll even go out on a limb and say there is some Soros money in there somewhere which probably wouldn't be a stretch at all.
Sadly McCain get's a lot more air and print time by the MSM than any other GOP candidate which is no accident. There are alot of conservatives out there who still get their new's from the MSM and may not buy into the fact that if a GOP'er is being touted by the left you obviously shouldn't vote for that candidate.
In fact even if McCain accidentaly win's the general election against the wishes of the left or the MSM through their puffing of him, I dont' see how they would be very dissapointed since he has a propensity to sit across the aisle and give the bird to his own party on most issues anyway.
McCain is nothing but a proxy instrument created and financed by the left to drive out the more conservative of the candidates and to sink the GOP. After the nomination's if he's in, the left and the MSM will turn on him like a bunch of ravenous wolves.

They want a GOP candidate that is beatable in the general, or one that will be swayed to their side of the street, if horrors of horrors, the Republicans retain the White House. McCain has yet to do anything outside of a state where you can cross party lines or remain undeclared. Let's wait to see how he does Super Tuesday.

That's not an endorsement of rewarding illegal aliens with a path to citizenship, it's simply a recognition of what is. If you have a plan for rounding up and deporting 12 million people without bankrupting the country, I'm all ears. Of course, even if there were a way to do that, if the border isn't secure, they'd all just come back again anyway.
And my vote will only be thrown away if it results in one of the Dims being installed in the WH. Recovering from four years of a RINO would still suck, but it'd be a whole lot easier than coming back from a Bill and Hillary encore.

Okay, so if McCain ends up getting the nomination, what will be your plan for the general election that won't result and a HRC presidency? Or are you of the school of thought that would hand it to her through either sitting out or voting third party, thus giving the country "what it deserves" to shock everyone back to their senses after they see the destruction once again wrought by a liberal in the Oval Office.

January 28, 2008 - 06:44 ET by BlazerNot sure what your conservative credential's are Heiki, but what I will say is it's people like you right now that are putting conservatism in jeopardy by opting for the "socialism-light" approach if all else fail's.
Now with that said, will I sit out effectively casting my vote for the other side or maybe even actually cast my vote for the other side if McShamnesty crooked talk is the nominee?
The truth is, I dont' know, but what I will say is Rush Limbaugh and plenty of other people across the alt. media with far more reputable conservative credential's than either you or I are thinking of doing the same thing, or have you been living under a rock?
Why take the horse and buggy into a socialist-open border's nightmare when you can just board the express train and let the other side catch the blame.
Oh and yes, when Shamnesty or a Socialist health program crosses McCain's desk, you can bet the baby's milk money he will sign it. Make no mistake about it, this man will march lockstep with a Dem Congress if he's elected and ruin SCOTUS for year's if he pick's any judges..

January 27, 2008 - 13:18 ET by Jack BauerWe've been here before. Despite highly-publicized claims to the contrary, John Kerry has STILL to order the release all of his military records, especially pertianing to the injuries which gained him his Purple Hearts.
Does anybody know what legislation governs the timely release of the records of an Administration?
And given the unprecedented scenario, in that the spouse of a former President is running isn't that legislation due an overhaul?
Especially as we are lead to believe (BY HER!!!!) that she had massive hands-on input and management over that previous administration...
Transparancy
January 27, 2008 - 13:22 ET by BayshoremanNoel,
There was one other paragraph in Rich's column that I think deserves mentioning becuse of its implied (but I believe unintended challenge to the MSM). Specificly:
"People don’t change. Bill Clinton, having always lived on the edge, is back on the precipice. When he repeatedly complains that the press has given Mr. Obama a free ride and over-investigated the Clintons, he seems to be tempting the fates, given all the reporting still to be done on his post-presidential business. When he says, as he did on Monday, that “whatever I do should be totally transparent,” it’s almost as if he’s setting himself up for a fall. There’s little more transparency at “Little Rock’s Fort Knox” than there is at Giuliani Partners."
Isn't this akin to the Gary Hart challenge where, when he was confronted with rumors of his "womanizing", he denied such activities and challenged the press to follow him around. They did (even though he was a "Liberal favorite") and the subsequent "Monkey Business" boat cruise sunk his presidential aspirations.
I wish Frank Rich and others in the MSM would learn a lesson from that and instead of just reporting what Bill Clinton says, take him up on his own statements, i.e. "Mr. President, you said 'whatever I do should be totally transparent' so to follow up on your own words please immediately release to the public the contributors to your library, the Healthcare archives, your medical records, etc., etc. etc." I would love to see the MSM slap him with those questions everytime he even thinks about getting near a microphone or camera.
The Clintons kick reporters like dogs

January 27, 2008 - 13:27 ET by Gary HallNothing unfair here.. it's earned - in the moment.
And on an aside: While it's rather obvious that the MSM (especially the more leftist side of) is fawning over Obama, if Hillary breaks through and manages to win the nomination, all will be forgot in a moments notice (see: Terry Moran, as proof of what is still to be found under the covers) and Hillary will once again be beyond reproach.
In fact, after licking their wounds, the MSM will be quick to ignore any hint of a scandal on the Billary side, and will be just as quick to attack any reporter or media outlet that is negative on Hillary.

January 28, 2008 - 00:29 ET by Dee BunkNo one can say that the Clintons don't have a valid point here. Obama is the candidate the Press likes and they will push hard for him until the end. If he loses anyway, then they will switch gears and shill for Hillary.

I Must Admit
January 27, 2008 - 13:42 ET by BourbeauToday's column by NY Time's is one of his more prescient pieces and I couldn't agree more. It's my contention that black voters will, on their own, rightfully come to the conclusion that Bill and Hillary Clinton are not their friends (it really is overblown credit for having done nothing). More importantly, the question they should be asking of themselves and the Democrat leadership is "If not Obama now, when will we get a chance?" The Democrat answer will always be "Never, if we have our way." I think the Clinton's will overplay their hand. I think more and more blacks will divert to Obama as he gains converts; I think more and more Democrat whites and Independents will come to realize that of a second Clinton (two for one) presidency is not in the Democrat's or the nation's best interest. Now, the Clinton machine may very well sink Obama; but I still think they come out looking more like the past then the future. Hell, I'm an Independent for Romney, and I'd be willing to give Obama a shot on the premise that the man is smart enough to surround himself with smart people who can carve a new path. He may not be my preferred choice, but he's certainly more acceptable than another Clinton duocracy.
It takes balls
January 27, 2008 - 14:15 ET by Lame CherryEven with Rockefeller cover it took balls for Chris Matthews to pound Hillary Clinton with Russert earlier this year knowing what she is capable of, but this Frank Rich (al Qaeda's favorite reporter) showing up now is like that Iranian mullah peeing on a dead US soldier. It just makes you look smarmy.
The real story is not the piling on as it backfired last time in New Hampshire. The real story is Bill blazed away again in this time cementing that even more black voters will vote for Obama as this swings north in calling Obama, Jesse Jackson.
I still believe Clinton will come up with some queer slur to add to this as he has about run this black thing into the ground that even the N word wouldn't do any more damage.
As predicted though the Clinton coup is coming to breakpoint now. Rich is one of the elite global operatives of the world communist and Islamocommunist advance guard for the Rothschilds and Putin of Europe.
They want Al Gore in this race and to pick Mike Bloomberg as his running mate.
The vote will split in the big states with no clear winner and there are Patrick Fitzgerald indictments coming to sink both the hedge fund junkies of Obama and Clinton.

January 27, 2008 - 17:24 ET by dahliatraversLook, I don't want to sound like an ingrate. I appreciate Frank Rich's accurate, well written column and his expose of the Clintons, I really do.
At the same time, where have he and all these other reporters and commentators who have suddenly seen the light been? The Clintons have been pulling underhanded, nasty stunts (and then trying to cover them up) for almost twenty years. But the left side of the press corps only notices and talks about it when it's directed specifically at them or another liberal?

January 27, 2008 - 18:42 ET by SaseboSailorI realize this is way out of left field but you heard it here first:
I believe it is plausible that if either Hillary or Barack Hussein Obama win the nomination, the powers-that-be in the democrapic party will morph into a brokered convention and implore the pampered prince of politics to come down from on high and save them, i.e., AlGore.
They will realize that neither the wicked witch from the left nor someone named Barack Hussein OBama stands a ghost of a chance in the general election. They know the hatred for Hillary has only increased and will mobilize millions to come out and vote against her. They also know that in a world where people want to cut our heads off and blow us to smithereens, we are not going to turn the country over to a nice gentleman with a name like that and two years experience to back him up.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the cold, hard truth that is finally going to dawn on the higher-ups in the democrapic, lib-infested, left-wing, Soros-controlled party.
He who hesitates is last.

A slam-dunk for sure in my opinion...Obama has and is increasing his following...media included.

Glad to see the tables turn on the Clintons and the eating of their own at the moment though...it has been more than delicious.
Is this election any different?
January 27, 2008 - 21:45 ET by pbthinkerDoes anyone think this election will be any different? In the past, the Democrats have cut each others throats, during the primaries, and then, when the election rolls around, they hold their nose and vote for the "D". This time, however, it could be different. You get the sense that there are more and more Democrats that just want to get away from the Clintons. They've been afraid to say anything, especially when Hillary looked inevitable, but now that she's not inevitable, people are stepping out of their holes. If she doesn't do as well as predicted, on Super Tuesday, the term rats leaving the sinking ship, comes to mind.
