Hillary淚眼注視民主黨總統角逐者Barack

(2008-02-07 12:21:58) 下一個
超級星期二的初選已經落幕。就所得選舉投票代表數來看,喜來瑞在星期二的斬獲差強人意;但展望未來,如果奧巴馬沒有意外,他可能會代表民主黨人在11月競選美國下屆總統。之所以不看好她的前景是因為她競選本身方麵的原因。

還是在元月初的時候,奧巴馬在愛和華州首戰得勝,其勢頭之猛差點要粉碎她的總統夢。在這種危急狀態下,她一改原先的競選方法及策略,並力圖重整競選團隊,再加上她本人含淚訴說的免費廣告,讓她在NH扳回一局,為自己的總統夢注入了極其幸運而難得的活力。不難設想,如果沒有那次的勝利,她也許也象前紐約市長一樣被淘汰了。

可是,禍福相依。她在NH的取勝,使她“終止”了要重整競選團隊的舉措,以致於她的競選又落入了讓她在愛州敗北的陷阱:她和選民之間隔閡依舊。這一點現在很明顯地體現在競選經費的籌措上:奧巴馬一月從大量新人身上籌得32M,但她卻得用自己的財力為競選注入5M,競選幹部也放棄薪酬而工作。奧巴馬和她的差別不是很大嗎?!

造成這種局麵的根本原因在於她和普通選民的距離太大:從去年11月份到現在,我隻收到她的團隊對競選建議的一封千篇一律的回複;但是,奧巴馬陣營以各人名義給我寄了五六十封電子信。如果以此為標準來讓我投票的話,我的票會投給誰不是很明顯嗎?

除了不能和選民加強聯係外,她的競選團隊的能力不足也讓人瞠目結舌。奧巴馬打擊她的致命武器之一是:她雖然有經驗,但判斷力不行;沒有正確的判斷力,經驗就不值一提了,就象有經驗的副總統氣你和前國防部長拉什麽沒有讓美國取得伊戰的勝利一樣。

奧巴馬使用這一利器的根據隻有一個:他從一開始就反對伊戰。對此,喜拉瑞的陣營就不能以其人之道還治其人之身嗎?

時移勢異。伊戰現在已經不是美國選民最關心的問題了,取而代之的是讓人愁苦的美國經濟。早在去年問題還遠不明顯的時候,喜拉瑞就呼籲采取措施來避免今天的糟糕局麵。事實證明及現在政府的措施都證明,她當時對經濟的觀察和解決方法都是對的。這不是她有良好判斷力的力證嗎?在今天,不是更讓人接受嗎?但她本人和競選團隊卻意識不到這一點。

還讓她前途暗淡的一個重要因素是她又在用使她愛州蒙羞的策略而不自知:對於看似沒有勝利“絕對把握”的選戰就別用心打,把精力放在重要的大州上。這聽起來很合理,但實際上現在卻行不通了。她在愛州的結果及其後的影響就是一例;共和黨人前市長朱什麽的也是一例。在這種情況下,她怎麽還可以漠然對待2月將要舉行的幾個州的競選呢?

現在,她的競選財力當然已經比不上奧巴馬了。但是,競選並不是一定得花錢如流水。象共和黨的那個老麥,雖然曾經破產,但他還是堅持和選民直接對話。老麥能做,她怎麽就不能做?她不能飛到華盛頓州天天和選民麵對麵競選嗎?華盛頓的當權者大都支持她,她努力在這裏取勝,就是讓她的總統夢得以繼續的最好措施。

從這兩天的情況看,她還是依重過去讓她失敗的那些人,采用讓她失敗的策略,她和那些人又不利用讓奧巴馬致命利器失效的反擊。如果這些不改變的話,到8月民主黨聚集丹佛挑選總統侯選人的時候,她隻能雙眼朦朧地注視台上的奧巴馬了。

(小腳板,雖然我們都喜歡喜來瑞成為民主黨總統侯選人。但形勢不由人,也許該到此為止了。)

孩子長大,對他們和大人都是好事兒。就大人而言,照看他們的事兒少了,時間多了,又能想和做其它自己想做的事兒了,可說明再生。為什麽要惆悵呢?

還有,在我這兒別提older,你可能要小一輪兒,應該正是精力充沛的時候。有可能就做些讓身邊人目瞪口呆的事吧。

願你在這新的一周天天開心!

Play: Clinton knocks on Texas doors 38 minutes ago

SAN ANTONIO, Texas - Thirty-six years ago, Hillary Rodham Clinton knocked on doors through southern Texas registering voters for the Democratic Party. It was her first job in politics.

Now she's after the top job in politics and the door knocking Wednesday was distinctly different.

Clinton went looking for support on the 1900 block of West Mistletoe Street. The working class neighborhood had little notice. Suddenly Secret Service agents and her media entourage descended on tight lawns and flower beds.

Women greeted her with trembling hands. She praised an Iraq war veteran. She petted prize-winning beagles. And she posed for pictures, and more pictures.

"For us, her husband was a great president. That's why we're going to support her. She's for the working poor," said Maria Huerta, speaking in her native Spanish.

Added her husband, Frank Huerta: "You know women — when they say something is going to happen, it's going to happen."

The Huertas were the first on the block to greet Clinton, before word spread and neighbors and reporters pressed in around her.

She took a picture with Julian Manchaca, a 41-year-old Army sergeant who said he was preparing for his fifth deployment to Iraq before a back injury set him back. She thanked him for his service.

Manchaca and Clinton aren't necessarily on the same page on Iraq. Clinton wants to begin pulling troops out of Iraq 60 days into her administration. Manchaca disagrees. "We've got to do what we've got to do. I think we have to go and finish it."

But he plans to vote for her, nonetheless. "She's best qualified to do the job," he said. "She's a very strong woman."

LevelII 回複 悄悄話 她的助理競選總管也走了。他對愛州的競選策略有相當的責任。另外,還有得負責的。

現在就看她新任命的競選總管是不是一員幹將,能不能在三個星期內扭轉局麵,讓她在德州和俄州取勝了。
LevelII 回複 悄悄話 QQ,早安!

換個總管還不夠。再說,即使現在大換血,是不是能找到合適的人也不能立即看出來。
虔謙 回複 悄悄話 換了經理了? 希望能有幫助了, 剛還看到一則新聞, 說是奧巴馬提退選條件, 不知道是不是誤傳...
新春快樂大漠, 早早來問候, 給壓到最底下去了...
又回去讀你的年度總結文章, 不得不令人感慨無限...
新一周好~
LevelII 回複 悄悄話 各位周末好。

Hillary Rodham Clinton just replaced campaign manager Patti Solis Doyle, naming longtime aide Maggie Williams to the top job.

這是個該換的,但還有該換的,至少那個Mark得換。
無根的浮萍 回複 悄悄話 回複Lianxin的評論:
從對中國和中國人的態度的角度, 共和黨才是正確的選擇.
看看最近二十年的美國政治, 盡管民主黨對中國人許諾連連, 有哪位中國人出任要職? 別說中國人, 就是少數族衣也根本沒有被重視.保證看看 BILL CLINTON 時期的內閣組成, 除去兩個黑人出任沒有人理會的部長外, 隻有 MINETA 出任了一年多的商務部長, 其餘清一色白人. 反觀共和黨, 黑人出任曆史上首位少數族衣國務卿, 古巴移民出任商務部長, 中國移民出任勞工部長, 墨西哥衣出任司法部長, MINETA 出任交通部長, 全部是要害或準要害部門頭領. 少數族衣的能力得到真正的肯定, 極大的提高了在社會的地位.

原因很簡單, 共和黨更看重的個人奮鬥和能力. 有個故事: 華人政治組織 80/20 (又稱長老會) 在 GORE 競選時, 獲其許諾提拔一華人出任內閣部長, 而 BUSH 卻一口拒絕任何與族衣有關的承諾. 因而長老會決定支持下 GORE. 實際上, 趙小蘭已出任勞工部長多年.

對我們華人來說, 我們是一個處於絕對劣勢的民族, 但是我們勤奮, 聰明, 守法. 隻有對勤奮, 聰明和守法的肯定, 才是我們有立錐之地的保證. 如果我們支持針對族衣的交易, 我們同時也是在變相支持其他族衣對我們的報複. 要知道, 在美國, 最仇視華人的, 就是很多華人鼎立支持的其他少數族衣. DEOS THAT MEAN SOMETHING?

無根的浮萍 回複 悄悄話 很有點意思. 一班外國人(美國以外的人)在期盼著一個能拯救世界的美國總統.

美國人可是在選美國總統啊, 外國人瞎摻和個什麽勁呢. 要知道, 很多在 OBAMA 和 CLINTON 作出選擇的人, 連北京是哪個國家的都不知道的啊. 在總統選舉上, 美國人向來是隻以國內為重的. 至於伊戰, 也必須和國內問題連起來才行.

絕大部分中國來北美的留學生支持民主黨, 實在是因為路線太一致了. 美國的民主黨, 也包括世界上的自由派, 扛的是窮苦大眾的旗幟, 走的卻都是精英路線. 看看曆史, 幾乎所有在人類近代史上留下慘重一頁的, 都是自由派的, 包括 MAO, 撕, 係特樂, 暮縮裏泥.... 等等, 不勝枚舉. 打的都是要徹底解決人類問題的旗幟, 帶給人民的是.... 就不多說了.

可惜, 美國在世界上的發達國家中, 是最保守的. 最能激起老百姓興趣的, 是草根路線. OBAMA 今次能有此成績, 就在於他起於青萍之末, 走的是草根路線. 而共和黨則更加的草根. 在廣大的郊區和農村, 共和黨有著絕對的吸引力. 很有意思的是, 相當一部分人認為共和黨是為大公司服務的. 這實在是給廣大人民的判斷力的一記耳關. 關於這個問題, 我以後可以再談.

至於戰爭, 如果你們去看看曆史, 就知道, 民主黨要好戰得多. 美國的近代曆史上, 一次世界大戰, 二次世界大戰, 朝鮮戰爭, 越南戰爭... 都是由民主黨人發動和深化. 朝鮮戰爭和越南戰爭則是由共和黨人拍板停止的.

再看美國和中國的關係. 民主黨人時期, 美國與中國連年戰爭, 用武力阻撓中國統一. 而共和黨人時期, 中美和好, 更有老布十頂住壓力與中國維持友好. 看今天, 美國政客中, 最反中國的, 就是一小戳民主黨人. 著實在是路線使然. 民主黨意識形態掛帥, 而共和黨則是草根為重. 草根者, 為蠅頭小利而奔忙之百姓也.

別怪我打擊你們的積極性, 這選舉實在是美國人的事, 外國人別瞎操心. 要不然, 被選出來豈不是有裏通外國, 賣國求榮之嫌疑?! 有那個勁, 想想自己能填的選票.
LevelII 回複 悄悄話 小腳板,也祝你和全家人在新的一年平安健康!吉祥如意!

對於美國總統選舉,象你說的那樣,我們可以換個思維來看可能會有新的想法。至於世界需要什麽樣的美國總統來做世界的夥伴,那不是美國人關心的。比如說,C和O都說要怎麽讓美國重新領導世界。和其它人在國際政治上平等相處?這樣的思想不知道什麽時候才能在美國人中流行。

其實,你對事情的觀察是很有深度的。期待你的大作!

周末快樂!
小腳板 回複 悄悄話 大漠新年好!祝你及全家新的一年平安健康快樂!
很高興你能講出你所研究的;我也在關注。
好事有時是壞事,這就象你的說的希拉裏;但選舉這條路好象也象單行線似的,歪了就沒正路了。
現在兩人各有利弊,表現手法也不同,到最後可能連選民都會吃驚的:怎麽選出不是自己想選的人選。
還有,現在好象是民主黨兩人士選總統,共和黨是不是會鷸蚌相爭,漁人得利?
有時我也會想:美國人想著要什麽樣的總統,但也可換個思維想想:全世界需要什麽樣的美國總統,即全世界的合作夥伴。有時覺得很危險。
看來什麽都有可能了。
希望大漠再給我們好文。網上高人很多,大家就事論事可能更好些。

xwq97ud 回複 悄悄話 希拉裏希望多一些Debates, 很好的主意。 而奧巴馬不同意。是不是耽心什麽?
這很明顯:害怕自己露餡。他就會空喊口號,一觸及實際問題,就張口結舌。
Grant 回複 悄悄話 Landlord: Clinton staff stiffed me on rent

PORTSMOUTH — Rochester physician Terry Bennett said he rented a city building to people who worked for Sen. Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign — and skipped town without paying the bill.

Making matters worse, Bennett said, the 3,000-square-foot building at 236 Union St. was left trashed. Campaign signs were left lying all over the place, he said.

Sailor's window: 'I did a bad thing'

Brothel boss records unsealed; details revealed

"It's a very nice little building, with an 1,800-foot warehouse and the rest can be offices," Bennett said. "There's a full kitchen and bath. They used it as a campaign center and dormitory. I expected them to hand the Realtor a check as they left. They did not."

Bennett said he wanted to be fair. The tenants contacted him and said they wanted the building for five days before the New Hampshire primary, which was held Jan. 8.

Realtor Michael Whitney said arrangements for the rental were made by Emily Walsh, who, Whitney said, corresponded with him from a Clinton campaign e-mail address. A New Hampshire woman named Emily Walsh has a blog written on Clinton's campaign Web site. She is listed on the Web site as a resident of Manchester. An Emily Walsh from Manchester has also been named a 1st Congressional District delegate for the Democratic National Convention to be held in Denver, Colo.

Calls and e-mails from the Herald to Kathleen Strand, Clinton's New Hampshire spokeswoman, were not immediately returned. E-mails and attempts to reach Walsh by phone, as well as calls to a woman who picked up the keys from Whitney, were not returned.

The Herald also made a call to Clinton's national campaign headquarters in Arlington, Va. A woman reached in the press office said she would try to get someone who could respond, but there was no response.

Neither Bennett nor Whitney knew how many people actually stayed in the building. The rent charged was $100 a day, for a total of $500.

Whitney, with the firm of Keller Williams Coastal Realty, confirmed the building was not left in good condition.

"We had to pick up after them," he said.

Whitney said he has been trying to collect rent for four weeks.

"I sent about 20 e-mails," said Whitney. "I hear the Clinton campaign is out of money. Maybe the woman got laid off. I called, but they will not return any of my calls."

This week, national news reports said Hillary Clinton loaned her campaign $5 million of her personal fortune. Bennett said he finds it hard to believe she can't afford $500.

When the group did not give him a check for the amount up front, as per the agreement, Whitney said, he gave them the benefit of the doubt.

"But they packed up and left," he said.

"They left enough trash for a small army," said Bennett. "We filled two of those big black trash bags with what they left. There might still be a 4x8 Hillary sign there we pulled off the fence."

Bennett said he bought the building about five or six years ago.

It's the former location of Pro Portsmouth.

ggg_zzz 回複 悄悄話 奧巴馬說過,
要向日本人學習,學習他們有效對付中國人/政府的經驗。

徹底禁止從中國進口(有毒)玩具等等. 這些口號如果不是嘩眾取寵, (討好廣大中西部失去國際競爭力的失業工人), 那又能代表什麽呢?

所以奧巴馬能夠贏一長串經濟欠發達,觀念保守的洲. (或者黑人占大多數)
