The bloom is coming off the rose of Hillary’s campaign. An opening for the GOP?
Hillary Clinton suddenly vulnerable as bruises start to show
Where did Hillary Clinton’s mojo go?
That’s what her campaign has to be asking after a rough two weeks. And more importantly, they have to be wondering how to recapture that fading aura of an unstoppable juggernaut.
Top Clinton strategist Mark Penn doesn’t own up to his candidate suffering a dip, but he admits it’s been tougher of late.
“The opponents went negative, and that created a new dynamic and a different set of headlines,” Penn said.
The new dynamic emerged at the debate in Philadelphia two weeks ago, but didn’t just spring from sharp criticism by her opponents. Clinton stumbled by offering fuzzy answers to some questions and refusing to take a stance on Gov. Spitzer’s license plan for illegal immigrants.
Hillary is wrong on this issue of illegal alien driver’s licenses and the press FINALLY called her on it. Then, she played the gender card.
And, her campaign organization is showing some strain.
It’s been a rough stretch for Hillary Clinton — a tough debate performance, a lost voice, and the revelation that the Clinton campaign had been coaching questioners at events.
Then, on Sunday, everything started falling down around her.
After a very Presidential-esque news conference – Clinton turned around to leave the reporters and their peppering questions. A staffer swooped open a curtain, and chaos ensued. Four large American flags came crashing in front of Senator Clinton as she headed for the door. In a controlled panic, the staffers and the Senator attempted to catch the flags before they fell to the ground.
