Hillaronic Convergence?

Compare the following three stories.

Waking Up to Hillary’s Big-Government Nightmare

The ballroom was packed with a who’s who of business when Senator Hillary Clinton addressed the Chicago Economic Club last week. No doubt about it, this was the address of a presidential hopeful. But unfortunately for Mrs. Clinton, the eyelids grew heavy as she droned on and on.

Sleep, it seems, was the better option to suffering through this odd and curious presentation. On the one hand Clinton acknowledged a growing economy, a stock market at historic highs, strong productivity and profits, and low unemployment, while on the other she called for big-government investment in infrastructure and heavy spending on health care and education. These two hands don’t go together.

Hillary Clinton: Bush Environmental Policy Caused Katrina

2008 presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton is celebrating Earth Day by unveiling her new energy plan and by blaming President Bush's environmental policies for Hurricane Katrina.

In a fundraising email sent out to donors on Thursday, Mrs. Clinton alleges:

"In the last five years, the Bush Administration has left no major environmental law untouched in their push to deregulate, undermining or rolling back decades of regulations put in place to protect our heath.

"The results are all around us," she says, citing "more greenhouse gases, global warming, rising seas, more violent storms like Katrina."

Annnnnnnd....

Hillary Meter: Support Down for Former First Lady

Just 26% of Americans say they will definitely vote for Senator Hillary Clinton if she runs for President in 2008. That matches the lowest level of support ever recorded for the former First Lady and is the sixth consecutive Hillary Meter poll showing her solid support below 30%.

Somebody needs to tell the Queen of Mean that it isn't the Democrat primary electorate she needs to worry about. If they didn't go with the Kos-hack candidate in '04 (Howard Dean), they're sure as heck not going to dump Mrs. Clinton in '08 (in favor of who? Russ Feingold???). Besides, the fever swamp knows that she's one of them and will vote accordingly, even if it doesn't satisfy their puerile instant gratification urge. What she needs to be doing non-stop for the next two and a half years is expunging her hard-left reputation with the general electorate. Otherwise the Dem nomination will remain an engraved consolation prize.

But I'm sure not going to be the one to deliver that advice. The nation's very fate depends on it.

Besides, I like my grapefruits just the way (and where) they are.
