Hillary Clinton Owes Herself $6 Million

"Toast!" NY Post cover. MSNBC "Morning Joe" Scarborough snipes to NBC's Brian Williams (BriWi brought up the headline) this a.m: "What's Rupert Murdoch going to say when she's Senate majority leader?"

Read Bubba's body language (right). HE knows she's toast.

Hillary's toast in six million ways: She borrowed $6.4 million from herself. Mark Halperin TIME mag The Page Nobody in their right mind would donate $$$ to a loser. Hillary had her tin cup out last night in her speech pimping for dollars. But she's soldiering on "full speed ahead" to the WH, campaigning today in West Virginia. Hillary henchman Howard Wolfson tells MSNBC's Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski his boss is prepared to tap into her vast wealth to continue the campaign. In the aggregate Hillary's loaned her campaign nearly $11.5 mil.

Howard Wolfson's end game is hollow and grating even to Mika and Joe. Hmmm. When talking heads murmur "hmmmm" they're so over the spin.

Politico's Mike Allen has a roundup of the media mavens.

In my humble opinion here's what did her in:
  • Democrats are wary of Clinton the sequel.
  • Hillary's preposterous Joe Sixpack mantle.
Democrats are done with Hillary. An influential union dubs Obama "the presumptive nominee" in a press release. MSNBC's First Read

It's mayhem in the Democratic party as hardened Hillary supporters claim they won't vote for Obama in the general election.

Hillary
won't quit for two reasons: a) the money she lent the campaign, b) Obama may unwittingly step on his dick. Tom DeFrank NYDN

When the superdelegates flock to sign Obama's dance card - bad news for Hillary. The ruthless Clintons will mark some time praying Obama is hoist on his own petard - with a lot of help from the Clinton Machine. Watch your back, Barack.

Hillary is now hoping Obama blows it in November and that President McCain looks vulnerable at age 76.

Oh, no, Jim! Not her again! Hillary will help Obama along in blowing it.

I think that gas tax holiday fiasco proved to voters she was a phony. Obama handled that issue well, giving the impression he wouldn't pander to get elected.

The Indiana and NC results indicate to me that Americans deeply desire change and not a return to the past.
