That’s what Bill Clinton said to a CNN reporter at the end of a testy press conference between Clinton and the media. The saga of Obama-Clinton mean-spirited campaign drama is about to reach its nadir before the on-set of the 2008 South Carolina Democratic primary this Saturday. I’m taking a neutral, observer position on this affair and I’m in no way endorsing any of the Democratic candidates, only taking in the presumption of what would become the decisive factor of the whole Democratic campaign to gain back the White House from the Republicans. For sure, the Clinton-Obama feud is already creating a genuine division within the rank and file of the Democratic Party, to the point when the entire Democratic campaign to win the White House could really come undone, on the account of female Democrats being the majority and the black Democrats the minority. However, some moonbats think the feud is cleverly concocted by Karl “Boy Genius” Rove himself. *sigh*
I can see Karl Rove fiendishly pulling strings and calling in old favors somewhere in an undisclosed bunker next to Vice Pres. Dick Cheney. *eyes rolled up*
With due respect, Barack Obama do have certain appeals to peoples beside the African American community, though he’d deftly and gradually crafted himself as the 21st century version of Abraham Lincoln since he made his first public appearance at the Democratic National Convention in 2004 and the Dems were wowed by him, especially among the black Democrats. They saw hope and glory come alive right out of Martin Luther King’s “I have a dream” speech. Hey, did that happened already when Colin Powell was widely speculated and prodded to run against Bill Clinton in 1996? Whatever happened to that distinct black Republican? Nevertheless, people watching the Clinton-Obama campaign drama heading into the South Carolina primary should bring to mind the memory of a very testy campaign drama between Bush and McCain early in 2000 in that same state primary; particularly when either the Bush campaign team or McCain’s political rivals made a false suggestion that McCain fathered an African-American baby out of wedlock. With that false news reaching throughout the Republican Party in South Carolina and the independent voters , McCain’s campaign momentum over Bush was stopped cold. From that 2000 S.C. primary outcome, Bush cruised onto getting the Republican Party nomination for President and eventually the White House.
So watching the South Carolina primary this Saturday, the real decisive factor of winning it out of this testy campaign drama would be: who blinks first? Clinton? Obama? That’s why Bill Clinton being worried and angry about all the negative focus on his wife as especially noteworthy, for the crucial key Democratic votes in South Carolina hold the key to victory for either Hillary R. Clinton or Barack Obama.
Whoever wins the 2008 South Carolina primary will, for sure, win the Democratic nomination for President handily. At least, the loser may still have a fighting chance in other primaries.
We shall see this Saturday.
