Mayhill Fowler, 'concerned Obama Supporter' OR Clinton/GOP plant?

[Eurobabe]

You make the call. Read her bio and some entries on her blog, esp. this one. I might be wrong, but at this point, I don't know what to think, the timing of this whole episode smells to high heavens.

"Flopped out in the Rio Grande Valley, nursing a cold, I've been reading Carl Bernstein's new biography of Hillary Clinton, trying to get a better sense of a woman I might well vote for come November 2008. Right off let me say that Bernstein provides a good read--not just a page-turner but a nuanced portrait. The Clintons' unhappiness with the book shows more than anything how the space inhabited by the famous and powerful over time comes to be shut off from the rest of the world, like a little terrarium under a glass bell. For the Clintons should be pleased. Bernstein's Hillary is passionate, conflicted, idealistic and pragmatic in equal measure. Yes, she has faults, she makes mistakes--but who doesn't? If Bernstein had meant his biography to flatter, the book wouldn't be worth beach time because any reader with a grain of sense would know it wasn't true. One small section of the Hillary biography--her undergraduate years at Wellesley--I feel competent to judge, because I was not so far away at Vassar, '64-'68, and because two of my sisters were at Wellesley the same time as Hillary. "

Edit to add GOP to title, since it appears Fowler donated to Freddie Thompsons' campaign.

1. Shoot the messenger? The words were Obama's own.

[AX10]

2. Could she have put this out to help Obama.

You know, to give him more airtime.

[babylonsister]

3. Umm...no. It has only helped Clinton, and whatdoyouknow!

Her campaign had stickers printed up, miraculously fast! :think:

4. Mayhill has been a loyalist to Mr. Obama.

She has been hacking away at Ed Rendell for the past 2 months.
For the record,I think highly of Ed Rendell.

Who is to say that she did not leak this in order to give Obama more airtime so that he could give another of his so-called "hard truth talks".
It is not likely, but not impossible.
You don't trust Mayhill because this story does not help Obama, so far, and I don't trust her because she is a loyalist to Mr. Obama.

9. I don't believe it for a second. What's with the stickers that were

already prepared, and how convenient this was to distract from the frenzied hysterical non-answer to a question posed to Hill, nevermind the big dawg lying about 4 times in a minute trying to defend Bosnia? You think this is all coincidence, I might be able to find a bridge to sell you.

5. Look her up on Newsmeat

yes she has donated to Obama, but she ALSO gave money to FRED THOMPSON! Why one earth would she do that?

I don't believe any of these people anymore, I am so cynical, they could give $2300 to Obama but still be a Repuke plant or a supporter from the opponent. Just looks better when poeple investigate them, and see that they have given money to the candidate they are trying to undermine.

I hope this thing blows up in this woman's face. :nuke:

6. she had that story in the can, waiting. Obama spoke 5 days earlier, yet it surfaced

miraculously on Friday as Hillary was getting decimated.

[Eurobabe]

7. my point exactly

And Ms. Fowler, if you are reading, why did you donate money to Fred Thompson? Perhaps I will ask her on her blog. Inquiring minds are DYING to know the answer to this one.

8. I never heard of her..

but she sure cranks it out...

13. Who is she really cranking it for?

Inquiring minds want, no make that DEMAND to know.

[madrchsod]

10. so she taped a private fund raiser

and sat on it for 5 days...yup she`s a plant but by who?

when will this be over?

11. She's a Cheney asset if she was on board for Fred Thompson.

Thompson was run by the Cheney wing of the Republican party. He was Cheney's boy.

She's a Cheney asset, I'd wager. Look for Mary Matlin's fingerprints, or her husband, James Carville's involvement.

She ain't no Democrat.

12. Kill her! Kill her!

[babylonsister]

14. No, but the truth would be nice. How novel that would be. nt
