Video: Newt Gingrich says Hillary’s campaign is “failing”

This is from Hannity & Colmes last night.
The polls sort of agree with Gingrich: Obama leads in Iowa and Clinton’s national lead has shrunk since the licenses for illegals debacle, which already seems like it was years ago. When she goes on the offensive against her rivals, it’s just offensive and doesn’t help her much. Her campaign trotted out a couple of gradeschool essays by Obama, then tried the “botched joke” defense that worked so well for John Kerry when they got mocked for trying to use Obama’s permanent school record against him. All around, the Glacier is showing signs of melt.
On the other hand, her campaign has yet to actually fail. She still leads by 17 nationally and holds a strong lead in New Hampshire. She could give Iowa away and still win the thing.

Since she seems to poll as the strongest competitor against Republican candidates, anything that knocks her down, especially if it’s self-inflicted, is more than welcome.

Ya think? Wow! That Newt! What a keen sense of observation he has.

It’s still freaky how much she leads by. Those silly Socialists… *shaking head*

Astute. When Obama wins Iowa, he can say I told ya so; when Clinton wins the rest, he can say she adjusted and that, probability-wise, he had always favored Clinton anyway.

I agree with Newt that Obama’s best strategy is to “be nice.” Nobody really likes Hillary- even people that will vote for her in the general election. Obama scores points by simply not responding as she gets more and more shrill.
Exit Question: Is Hillary or Obama more likely to be defeated by the GOP in 2008? To my mind, the GOP is in a far better position to win with Hillary heading up the other ticket than Obama (VP combos really don’t matter).

Don’t uncork the champaign. 17 point national lead is super big. Obama just not bring anything to the table. People are attracted to him because a) he’s not Hillary and b) he seem pleasant enough. But when the cards are played he has no hand. Nothing on foreign policy, nothing on domestic policy and nothing on the economy. He is the perfect straw man.

And clean and articulate!

I’m still pissed that newt dropped out of the presidential race. I won’t listen :(

Me neither, dammit!

Hillary does not degrade gracefully. Her worst traits surface when challenged, as Obama has done. It’s gonna get worse before it gets better. There’s plenty of loop-de-loops lefts in this campaign. She hasn’t even faced the Republican candidates in a debate yet. Hillary is not likely to fare well against somebody like Giuliani nor Romney. And then there is the 200 ton weight that will fall on her next year: Victory in Iraq. After all the defeatist talk from Hillary and the Democrats, she’s gonna have some ’splainin’ to do about that.

Rush played her interview with Bartiromo today…
Hillary really isn’t qualified to be elected VP. That was so beyond bad, it must have been a parody of stupid, uninformed economic thought.
Lurch and Gore could get away with lying about their motives, she is incapable of it. It’s hubris and her gigantic ego that get in her way.
She is just an awful candidate.

Here’s a stat.
The MSM is 100% on board for Hillary. That’s not a poll number, it’s just a sad fact. It is THE scariest statistic out there.
They will cover for her mistakes, ignore her lies, call her regal, and all the while ripping any GOP candidate to shreds. For God’s sake she’s out there today telling everyone the economy is tanking and no one’s questioning her on it.
The uninformed and ignorant sheeple will listen, question nothing and scurry to the voting precincts like little rats following the Pied Piper.
If only it was a fairy tale. It’s friggin real folks.

Hillary on CNBC
There’s the video…she’s a seriously angry problem, it comes through big time.
Can she speak without that annoying “uh” tic? I thought she was a supreme intellect from the best of colleges in the US.
She’s not very bright.
benrand on December 6, 2007 at 3:55 PM
I’ll take the annoying “uh” thing over that cackle she has anyday. Frankly, the more she campaigns the more I begin to understand why Bill Clinton felt the need to get serviced by all those other women.
highhopes on December 6, 2007 at 4:07 PM
That Sean, always modest.
If Hillary’s worried now just wait, the rough stuff hasn’t even started yet and she’ll be her own undoing.
Speakup on December 6, 2007 at 4:10 PM
Hannity, when he’s no busy self-promoting his crap, is a buffoon.
Hillary in 1994
She was dreadful back then too…that voice…
Please, let her win the nomination…she’s awful.
benrand on December 6, 2007 at 4:24 PM
I love Newt but 6 months ago he was telling us that Hillary was going to be the next President of the United States.
Don’t count her out yet.

Carter was a strawman and got elected anyhow.
SIJ6141 on December 6, 2007 at 6:25 PM
Maybe if Barack and Oprah hold hands and sing kumbaya with the little people at the stadium, that will knock the queen off her pedestal… here’s hoping!
Califemme on December 6, 2007 at 6:31 PM
May she win the primary. The general w/b fun, furious and rewarding.
Entelechy on December 6, 2007 at 9:07 PM
She’s calling this a “work-out?” I’m waiting for the Hillary as Jane Fonda poltical cartoons. And can’t she find something that sounds more like “bail-out?”
smellthecoffee on December 6, 2007 at 11:04 PM
This is fun to watch-the wheels coming off and Hitlery is cocky enough to still think she is a shoe in.
However, she shows her wicked side with statements such as “I am going to destroy anyone who stands in my way and the enemy is anyone who opposes her”
She is so delusional, she must think all of U.S. are as wimpy as Bill, where all she has to do is throw a temper tantrum and we will obey, like a lap dog.
