Day By Day by Chris Muir

Barack Obama played the sexism card against Hillary Clinton, nearly lost the Democrat nomination with working class women rebelling and spawned the PUMA movement at the Democrat National Convention.

Did anyone see (Flap knows no one cares) Gloria Steinem’s pathetic piece in the Los Angeles Times yesterday?

The backlash from ordinary American women voters has just begun.

Hillary Clinton at Democrat Convention

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., right, and her daughter, Chelsea, arrive in the stands before her husband, former President Bill Clinton, speaks at the Democratic National Convention in Denver, Wednesday, Aug. 27, 2008

Hillary Clinton rebuffed (and not even vetted for the Vice Presidency) by Barack Obama at the Denver Democrat convention congratulated Alaska Republican Governor Sarah Palin for her selection as John McCain’s Vice Presidential running mate yesterday.

“We should all be proud of Governor Sarah Palin’s historic nomination, and I congratulate her and Senator McCain,” Clinton, the first woman to win a presidential primary, said in the statement. “While their policies would take America in the wrong direction, Governor Palin will add an important new voice to the debate.”

Hillary’s congrats although back handed in a way were far different than Team Obama’s inital reactions which were harsh, negative and made no mention of the historic nature of Sarah Palin’s selection.

The initial polling is favorable for Palin as the GOP attempts to pick off disaffected Hillary Clinton Democrats and independent female voters.

Palin is now viewed favorably by 48% of women. That figure includes 80% of Republican women, 23% of Democratic women, and 61% of women not affiliated with either major party.

Anyone want to bet whether the Clinton Cabal will be supporting McCain - Palin? When the Obama and left-wing attacks begin on Palin look for Clinton supporters in the media to suddenly appear.

“Remote Control”

Team McCain released this web video last night while Flap was at the reirtement dinner. In it the McCainiacs use clips of former Deomcrat rivals, including Hillary Clinton to slam Barack Obama on his inexperience.

Key Graph:

You know, I am a believer in … in knowing what you’re doing when you apply for a job. Uh, and I think that … if I were seriously to consider running on a national ticket, I would essentially have to start now, before having served a day in the Senate. Now there may be some people who are comfortable doing that, but I am not one of those people. — Barack Obama, 2004

The ad is a little on the longish side so it will be cut and broken into 30 second sound bites. Watch for parts of it to be on television throughout the fall.

BillClintontoSnubObamaSpeec

This graphic pronouncement came up on Drudge just as Hillary was about to deliver her speech last night.

Hillary Clinton will be on hand for Barack Obama’s acceptance speech, but according to a source close to former President Bill Clinton, he will not: the source tells CNN that Clinton will not join his wife at Invesco Field Thursday night.

Both Bill and Hillary need Barack Obama to lose to John McCain or they are both frozen out of the Presidency.

The Clinton Cabal will continue to undermine Obama’s candidacy.

Did anyone catch Michelle Obama’s countenance last night while Hillary was speaking. As Flap friend and fellow blogger Kate said via Twitter: “Die Bitch Die….” was what Michelle was REALLY thinking.

A party united? Hardly……

Stay tuned……

billclintonjune7

Chelsea Clinton sits with her father, former US President Bill Clinton, as they listen to US Democratic presidential candidate Senator Hillary Clinton (D-NY) speak at the National Building Museum in Washington June 7, 2008. Clinton endorsed presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Senator Barack Obama (D-IL) to be the Democratic U.S. presidential candidate on Saturday and suspended her own White House bid less than a week after the Illinois senator secured enough support to win the nomination.

Bill Clinton, now in Denver, has undercut Barack Obama again.

The former president, speaking in Denver, posed a hypothetical question in which he seemed to suggest that that the Democratic Party was making a mistake in choosing Obama as its presidential nominee.

He said: “Suppose you’re a voter, and you’ve got candidate X and candidate Y. Candidate X agrees with you on everything, but you don’t think that candidate can deliver on anything at all. Candidate Y you agree with on about half the issues, but he can deliver. Which candidate are you going to vote for?”

Then, perhaps mindful of how his off-the-cuff remarks might be taken, Clinton added after a pause: “This has nothing to do with what’s going on now.”

Yeah, right!

They do not refer to the former President as Slick Willie for nuthin’.

Hillary addresses the convention tonight and the former President tomorrow.

Interesting theater as the Clinton Cabal quietly undermines the Obama candidacy while he continues to sink in the polls.

Team McCain’s latest ad: 3 AM

Everyone knew it was coming - last February and Team McCain launched their own 3 AM ad today, when Hillary Clinton addresses the Democrat National Convention.

If Hillary Clinton had attacked Barack Obama early in the primary season with this ad, she would be the Democrat nominee speaking on Thursday night.

Watch this ad to be “on air” in battleground states over and over again as the election season proceeds.

hillaryclinton82608

Hillary Clinton although snubbed by the Democrat Party and Barack Obama will be delivering the major speech tonight at the Democrat Convention in Denver.

And. so how has Hillary been snubbed?

Jim Geraghty has a list:

The best of the best Hillary snubs (according to Flap):

1. She is NOT Obama’s running mate.

2. Hillary was NOT EVEN Vetted for the Vice Presidency.

3. Hillary nor Bill were asked for their input on VP selection

4. The Michigan and Florida delegations were reinstated - after they could have helped her secure the nomination.

5.The New York Delegation is seated behind North Dakota.

6. Charlie Rangel was given no speaking role at the convention and Bill Richardson (Carville’s Judas) was.

Hillary will deliver a good speech tonight but then the Clinton Cabal will work overtime to hype her and undermine Obama - before the Obama coronation on Thursday night.

In the meantime, Team McCain will woo PUMA Hillary voters with welcome messaging ads. Remember Debra from yesterday.

Now, John McCain, should he choose Alaska Governor Sarah Palin or Texas Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison, would capture sufficient Hillary voters to take the lead in battleground states.

But, wil McCain boldly choose a female GOP pol over Mitt Romney?

Only, if McCain wants to win…….
