Hillary's unusual and disconcerting media alliances.
Since its inception, Fox News has not hesitated to show its despise for all things Democratic, particularly the Clintons. Bill O'Reilly is no exception and may be the very worst and shrill Clinton critic at Fox. Yet, Clinton strategist Jehmu Greene went on O'Reilly's program and agreed enthusiastically with O'Reilly in his attacks against Daily Kos, which the Clinton campaign claims is biased against her.

Richard Mellon Scaife has smeared the Clintons through two decades, including recent (and continued) suggestions that Hillary Clinton was involved in the plot of Vince Foster's murder. Yet, Hillary went to Scaife for a very long interview and received his implied endorsement.

ABC aired the docu-drama "The Path to 9/11" just prior to the 2006 elections in which Bill Clinton was given a large portion of the blame for the tragic event. ABC falsely claimed that the movie was based on the 9/11 Commission's report. Yet, ABC spent nearly an hour attempting to dismember Barack Obama in last night's spectacle.

Does Senator Clinton believe that her allies in this Karl Rove-styled relentless attack on Obama will still side with her in November if she wins the Democratic nomination? She is sadly mistaken.

1. That's correct, she is making a deal with the devil
and like all deals with the devil, the devil is taking advantage of the other peron's greed.

3. She knows that they will sink her candidacy if she wins.
So, it begs the question, Why would she do this?

One answer that makes sense is that she is sabotaging Obama to keep the door open for her in 2012.

2. Hillary cannot win...
I am convinced. She has alienated too many Democratic voters. It's a sad fact that a lot of people are having a hard time accepting. And will not accept. But, Hillary cannot win.
