CLINTON STILL IN FANTASY LAND OVER LOST CAUSE
By CHARLES HURT June 5, 2008 -- (NY Post)
WASHINGTON - Hillary Rodham Clinton is ending her quest for the presidency precisely as she began it: with a false sense of entitlement, complete self-absorption and delusional lies.
Now everyone agrees that she has lost the nomination. Barack Obama will be the nominee.
Yet she refuses to acknowledge this simple, clear truth so that the vital process of converting her supporters into supporters of the actual nominee can begin.
In her fantasy world where she is still in control, everything is upside down.
It's as if Obama should be waiting by the phone in hopes she might offer him a spot on the ticket.
When Obama called Clinton Tuesday night to (magnanimously) congratulate her on winning the South Dakota primary, her campaign twice let the calls go to voice mail.
It is true that Clinton eventually commanded a considerable force in this primary.
But she still lost. And she lost profoundly, by every metric imaginable.
This is one of those defining moments.
For Barack Obama, for the Democratic Party and, possibly, for the country.
Obama has run a campaign against the moral shortcuts and twisted truths that have been so viciously perfected by the Clintons and left American politics in ruin.
Obama should make it clear now that he has no intention whatsoever of picking Clinton as his running mate.
Picking her, especially in light of her current antics, would make a lie of Obama's campaign. And failing to rule her out now keeps the lights going on her corrosive carnival stage.
In 1992, Bill Clinton's campaign had a sign on the wall reminding them that the campaign was all about the economy.
The Obama campaign should put up a sign of their own: "It's the Clintons, stupid!"
