Wow! Hillary is certainly singing the praises of John McCain! Go check out this video<\/a> of clips of her saying the same thing in each video, that she and McCain will \u201cbring a lifetime of experience to the campaign” but Obama “will bring a speech he gave in 2002.” She also surrounded herself with military officers who support her and again linked her name with McCain<\/a> and said that they demonstrated that they could be commander-in-chief. Clinton was certainly right, they are quite chummy, aren’t they?<\/p>\n

In a Cabinet-style setting, surrounded by retired military leaders, Sen. Hillary Clinton said the public should ask whether Democratic presidential rival Barack Obama has met the criteria needed to become the nation\u2019s commander in chief.
\n\u201cI think that since we now know Sen. (John) McCain will be the nominee for the Republican Party, national security will be front and center in this election. We all know that. And I think it\u2019s imperative that each of us be able to demonstrate we can cross the commander-in-chief threshold,\u201d the New York senator told reporters crowded into an infant\u2019s bedroom-sized hotel conference room in Washington.
\n\u201cI believe that I\u2019ve done that. Certainly, Sen. McCain has done that and you\u2019ll have to ask Sen. Obama with respect to his candidacy,\u201d she said.
\nCalling McCain, the presumptive GOP nominee a good friend and a \u201cdistinguished man with a great history of service to our country,\u201d Clinton said, \u201cBoth of us will be on that stage having crossed that threshold. That is a critical criterion for the next Democratic nominee to deal with.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

OK, kooky theory warning but I’m wondering if Clinton has a scorched earth campaign in mind. Is she making Obama so unattractive and building up McCain so that if she isn’t the nominee, she makes it harder for Obama to get elected? I know it’s probably nuts but I’m thinking it might make it easier for her to then run in 2012.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
