A thought before Super Tuesday: UPDATED

:::SCROLL DOWN FOR UPDATE:::SCROLL DOWN FOR UPDATE:::

Exit polls in South Carolina indicate that Bill Clinton’s hijinks and race-baiting hurt Hillary more than helped her.

So, what is next, for Clinton?

I jokingly said to a friend last night that Clinton’s racial remarks are becoming so bold that I fear he will next show up in a white suit, carrying a mint julep and drawling something about “uppity” classes.

But of course, that was not serious. And it might have been a little mean-spirited…sorry.

I do wonder what the next big Clinton drama piece will be. We had Crying Hillary before New Hampshire (predicted by me here).

Will we soon have “Too Ill to Campaign Bill” and “Worried About Dear Husband, but Valiantly Campaigning On to Save America Hillary”?

Come on, you know you’re thinking the same thing. An “Ill Bill” can be useful for eleven solid months. Gets him off the trails and back behind the scenes, fades the memory of his atrocious work these past few weeks, keeps Hillary both grim and heroic, and leads the easily-swayed-by-emotion drama queens of the political press – who have lately been making unfaithful noises – back solidly into-the Clinton- camp-where- they freaking-well-belong-and they’d -better-not forget it.

Seems they (the press) have been getting “uppity” too, and believing they actually can criticize the Clintons. They’ve almost begun to behave like anti-Clintites! This will not stand!

Of course – some in the press will subliminally do a bit of the Clinton’s race-baiting for them. Check out the quickly changed headline caught by Instapundit, and expounded on by Vanderleun. Classical Values is playing with anagrams.

Meanwhile, NPR crunches the numbers on Hillary’s “35 years of experience” and calls…um…distortions, and the LA Times wonders why South Carolina does no longer seems to exist at all in Hillaryworld.

Asked it a while ago – in light of this move and this breathtaking breakdown (check out that bottom line and ponder to whom Mrs. Clinton may be so very beholden), it’s worth asking again – is it time, finally, to let go?

UPDATE: I dislike – I very much dislike – editing comments. I believe folks are entitled to their opinions and to full respect for them. That said, I think I cannot allow or tolerate comments that openly speculate on the murder of a president or ex-president (or anyone else, really) by a first lady (or anyone else) and so I am going to spell it out: Don’t do that. If you do, your comments will be trashed. To my way of thinking it crosses a line that should not be crossed. I have very few rules about posting, but I’m serious about them.
