Tampa Tribune Says, Dear Hillary, Don’t Run

That’s right! Even the left leaning Tampa Tribune editorial gives all the reasons Hillary shouldn’t run for President in 2008. Hillary just recently visited the west central Florida city on a mission of fund raising and Bush bashing. She might have come to the run place to do her incessant Bush bash barrage. Not all Democrats care to listen to that crap all the time and some have even gotten to the point they want leadership and some ideas – something new for the party on the left.

I would have thought the former President first lady would have learned from ALGORE’s trials and tribulations in Florida in 2000, that Floridians are very moderate and could go either way.
The editorial jumps right in, as will I.

If you run for president, chances are good that you’ll secure your party’s nomination. But realistically, how do you think you can win the White House? You are the most polarizing figure in the Democratic Party, and your negatives among likely voters are prohibitively high. Many people simply don’t trust you. You may share your husband’s name, but what people liked about him is not transferable to you.

You are not the person to help define a party that needs to convince voters it can govern from the vital center.

Ooohh! Ouch! Those comments are sure to make her want to run even more. Maybe this editorial is a reverse psychiatric ploy of some kind.

Fair or not, you are identified with the far left, and you are not the person to convince voters that Democrats have ideas for keeping families safe and the country secure.

You are not the one who can assure Americans they will have a chance to get ahead.

You may be a champion for women’s rights and a strong advocate for children, but you are too much the Washington insider to convince voters you would fix a political system that seems remote from everyday life.

And then the writer seems to be her husband Bill. How else could anyone know Hillary as well as this and not be her husband.

Although you apparently work well with your Senate colleagues, your candidacy would remind voters that you are not a consensus builder. Your health care plan failed during your husband’s first term because you were largely tone-deaf. You shut people out, and when things went awry, you blamed the media.

Maybe I took some things out of context…….err, uhhh, no actually I was kind of nice here. You should absolutely go read the entire editorial yourself. Unfortunately for Hillary, “I don’t even know what White Water is” Clinton, it tells it like it is.

*Related Rumors* Is it truth of fiction? Rumor has it that Bill Clinton is looking for interns to work for him. The ad says, “Hands on Experience“.
