Funny how no one complained when Obama bought out over one-third of Iowa’s Jefferson
Jackson dinner recently, which both Mike Lux and Chase Martyn talked about on
my radio show this week. Then Obama’s supporters raised the roof for their candidate.
Everyone went out of their way to compliment Obama on his amazing speech, which
was well deserved. He knocked it out of the park last weekend. You didn’t hear
Clinton supporters bitching about it, now did you?
As for Edwards people, whose candidate was declared the “loser” last night, they
bitch about everything. Instead they should try to do the same. Question is, why aren’t they? Or maybe an even better question is why can’t they? It’s not like anyone is stopping them.
But after the CNN Las Vegas debate some sour grapes supporters are complaining
about Clinton’s people being in the audience. Awwwww.
It’s not like I haven’t been warning everyone. Many times I’ve talked
about Rory Reid’s power in the state of Nevada because of his father, Harry. The son is running
Clinton’s state organization. Edwards was hoping to win here because of his
union support, but he’s getting his clock cleaned instead.
News flash for amateurs:
this is the way the game is played. Obama got it and worked it in Iowa recently.
Cue the CNN Las Vegas debate, which is now leaving
everone shocked!, shocked!, I say that politics was played in the Silver
State.
Wake up.
UPDATE: Reader JoeCHI points to Rod McCullom’s post on Huffington Post. Read it.
Could have, but, not quite. Edwards and Obama walked into the Sin City Showdown with the cards stacked in their favor. … .. But something funny happened to Senators Edwards and Obama on their way to Las Vegas. Maybe the high-roller suites have complimentary testosterone and egos on the pillows, or, possibly they bumped into Elvis, who told them, “A little less conversation and a little more action.” They lost their mojos. Instead of throwing the hungry audience sound bites that were wrapped in juicy, red meat, the two candidates tossed stale, Republican talking points at frontrunner Hillary Clinton and the audience booed and hissed. Actually, it wasn’t funny. The specter of a Democratic crowd of casino workers, students and SEIU members booing the populist John Edwards was quite painful.
Unfortunately, Obama and Edwards have often parroted right-wing talking points against Clinton–from Obama’s ridiculous “Cheney-lite” platitudes to Edwards’ grandiose pronouncements on “electability.” Last night was no exception. Only minutes into the debate, Edwards set the tone and declared Clinton was part of a “corrupt” and “very small, very powerful, very well-financed group” that is entrenched in Washington. Who are these people? Perhaps John was referring to United States Senate, a “very small, powerful, very well-financed group” that, umm, counted him as a member.
