Obama Runs Well Ahead of Clinton Against McCain

In poll after poll, Barack Obama runs well ahead of Hillary Clinton in races against McCain. I give my brother Lanny Davis credit for creative spin; I am laughing as I write this. If victory has a hundred fathers, and defeat is an orphan, desperation breeds delusion.

Everyone is invited to check pollster.com and realclearpolitics.com and judge for yourselves based on the facts of the matter as proven by the numbers.

Meanwhile, outdoing again her capacity to be out of touch with the times, Hillary Clinton has now unveiled a new fear ad for Ohio and Texas. In the tradition of George W. Bush and Karl Rove, the new Hillary ad says nothing about the attributes of Hillary Clinton — it’s just a sad and tired play on fear, which is the last refuge of losers without grace.

This ad will prove a disaster, while the spin of Hillary’s electability proves to be a delusion for a campaign that went from being for cynicism against hope, to close in favor of fear above courage.
