Rush Limbaugh said today that the point of Hillary’s speach will be to rally the democrats to war against the republicans and show also that the dems have rejected the A team by comparison to Obama’s own. proactive cya

another example of proactive cya was the spy agencies public announcement last fall that Iran had stopped working on their nuke program–because they were afraid the bush’s would use their previous assessment to the contrary as an excuse for war. The spies didn’t want to be accused of being wrong as they were accused of being wrong about Iraq’s nukes in the lead up to the Iraq war. In both cases it was a judgement call but whereas in the lead up to the Iraq war — the politically safer position was that Iraq had wmd — the judgement of the spies was that the politically safer position was that Iran had stopped working on nukes.

How does this relate to Hillary? If Obama falls badly–its important to the moderates in the party that the leftists get all the blame–so as to give themselves the upper hand in the power struggle to come. Interestingly just as Michelle repackaged herself last night –so will Hillary. Hillary will repackage herself as the centrist moderate who was repudiated — when in fact she is as much the leftist as gore,kerry obama
