Et Tu New Yorker

Article by Carl Lizza in the New Yorker magazine:

Hillary reminds one of "Freddy Krueger" (ie monster). No matter how hard
you try you can't destroy her. Hillary has "EERILY unflappable persistence". What has happened to journalism in this country when even the New Yorker prints this crap.

"Hillary wants to burn the village in order to save it"


The ninety-minute conversation among Clinton and fourteen politicians and business and labor leaders, and Ohioans with hard-luck stories, had all the drama of a Senate committee hearing. Some no doubt found the discussion riveting, but at one point the former Ohio senator and Mercury astronaut John Glenn, a panelist, was either very deep in thought about college loans, or fast asleep. Scores of audience members were similarly benumbed and fled the event before it was over. But Clinton seemed confident about the electoral power of relentless policy tedium.

Later that night, at Clinton’s victory party in Columbus (she won the Ohio primary with fifty-four per cent of the vote), Terry McAuliffe, the chairman of the campaign and an unflaggingly high-spirited supporter of both Clintons, indulged in an impromptu we-told-you-so session. He taunted reporters for their eagerness to write off Clinton’s prospects. “We came back in New Hampshire, Nevada, Super Tuesday,” he said. “And we’re doing it again tonight.” After a long string of defeats for the Clinton forces, this was her moment of triumph. Just after MSNBC put a winning check mark next to Clinton’s picture, projecting her victory in Ohio, a young female volunteer did a joyous dance with friends. “Hell yeah, baby!” she shouted. “Eat it, Barack! This is a woman’s world!”

The next day, a Clinton adviser was more candid about what lies ahead. “Inside the campaign, people are not idiots,” she told me. “Everyone can do the math. It isn’t like the Obama campaign has some special abacus. We can do these calculations, too. Everyone recognizes how steep this hill is. But you gotta keep your game face on.”

This electability argument—that Obama can be easily caricatured, that he’s weak on national security, that he’s too liberal—is not so very different from the Republican case against Obama, although the charges might be more damaging coming from a member of one’s own party, especially in a bruising campaign that may last until the Convention this August in Denver. It is tempting to say that the Clinton campaign’s plan is to burn the village in order to save it


Don't New York magazines know that they have to support Hillary - its in the script.
