Mrs. Clinton's Next Strategy?
Now that Mrs. Clinton seems to have actually lost to Mr. Obama in primary fundraising last quarter, her "I am pre-ordained, resistance is futile" strategy seems to be out the window.

Any guesses on her new strategy?

2. Take to the sky with her winged monkeys ...

I mean she IS pure evil, ya know.

5. Winged monkeys are a plus for any candidate in my opinion.
Wish I had some myself.

7. Too late.
The evil Clinton machine has control of ALL winged monkeys. You'll have to settle with hamsters on wheels.

10. Not as effective as the monkeys ..
but if you take food away from them for about 3 days they get REAL mean. I've seen a gang of them take down a full grown cow and leave nothing but bones in 20 seconds. Wasn't pretty.

23. Better snap to it!
My "people" tell me that McCain is looking into snatching up all the hamsters for his own evil plan. No match for the monkeys however. But McCain's a scrapy sumbitch.

3. I doubt she's really that worried to be honest.
It's like worry about being behind in a horse race 10 feet out of the gate.

6. What 'Next' Strategy, Mr. Goldstein?
She will continue to raise money, and make statements and take positions calculated to attract the largest possible number of voters. She remains the odds on favorite to take the Democratic Party nomination, and the Presidency.

12. At $26 mil, she didn't lose to anyone. I'm sure she's delighted with how much she raised.
What, is Edwards supposed to drop out of the race now because he didn't raise anywhere near the amounts that Obama and Hillary raised? I think not.

13. Team Hillary will beat the drum of her "electability"
and tout her vast experience, without mentioning her prowar votes, and her tainted record on human rights.

15. What a ridiculous spin
but what should I expect from you?

Here's another spin:

Hillary's supporters are far more confident that she'll gain the nomination than Obama's - that's why more of them are giving money for the General Election.

Why do Obama's supporters have so little faith?


(NOTE: I don't believe that to be true - it's just an example of the ridiculous spin used by people like the OP)

18. Getting the Communist Chinese to kidnap Chelsea....
brainwash her, turning Chelsea into a programmed assassin.

Then, at the Democratic Convention, Chelsea takes out all of Hillary's opponents...sweeping Hillary into the White House with powers that would make martial law seem like anarchy.

20. That's in the works.
Only as a last ditch efforts. I think the winged monkeys will go the trick. But it never hurts to have a back up plan.

19. the idea that HRC even had a "pre-ordained, resistance is futile"
strategy seemed to be coming mostly from the shrillest of the anti-Hillary crowd, which, of course, includes you Mr. Goldstein.

I love it - you're absolutely right.

The most "shrill" are the rabid haters.

22. It's all going to work out fine.
The Plan is not to be sneezed at.

All hail! The Plan!

24. I love this quote:
"Ultimately, forget the money. You've got to get votes," said Terry McAuliffe, Clinton's campaign chairman. "

I'm having a bad week. I need the laughs!
