Maureen Dowd’s Mind Is Made Up: Don’t Confuse Her with Facts
The author of this piece wheres her bias on her sleeve, which blinds her to the simple facts of Dowd’s article.
Hillary has positioned herself in such a way as to cast doubt on Obama, and make the convention all about her. While it’s unlikely she will try to wrest the nomination from Obama, the very fact that she and Bill have critical speaking slots in the convention, and that roll call, will remind Democrats that Hillary barely lost. That Obama won mostly by caucuses and not so much in states where the popular vote mattered more. There are no caucuses in the real election. Obama won mostly through backroom deal making.
Whenever a Clinton gets in front of a microphone, they make it all about them. Count the mes and Is when they talk. They will try to steal the spotlight from Obama. He will come off looking weak after this convention. Making it easier for Hillary to run again in 4 years.
The Clintons are cut throat. And they will do their best to see Obama fail while making it look like they support him.
