Who is out of touch?

These last few weeks leading up to the PA primary have been pretty hard to swallow.  Hillary is now showing her true colors by adopting a right wing framework and talking points, all the while kicking the members of MoveOn to the curb.  The media has been more than happy to do everything in their power to have their horse race by trumping up non issues in an election season when all people really want is truth, transparency, and a sober assessment of the real issues affecting everyday Americans...you know...things like the Economy, the war, illegal wiretapping, rising fuel prices, healthcare.  Sometimes I wonder if the media even knows what these things are anymore.  Not content to allow Hillary and McCain tear down the likely democratic nominee, I made this youtube video.  Hope you enjoy!

Circling the Wagon Train in Texas

Wed Feb 13, 2008 at 01:11:06 PM PDT

Jeanne Cummings makes a comparison of Senator Clinton's campaign to the campaign of Rudy Giuliani today.

Just as the former New York mayor pinned his hopes on a late Florida victory to sling-shot him into front-runner status among Republican candidates, the New York senator is banking on wins in Ohio and Texas next month to revive her campaign after a February string of back-to-back-to-back losses.

It’s a high-risk play for the once undisputed Democratic front-runner. It also may be the only maneuver she has left after rival Barack Obama managed to effectively counter her planned Super Tuesday knock-out punch.

But, where a lot of people are analyzing the similarities of these two campaigns, I would like to point out a few very distinct differences.  While Giuliani's campaign strategy was at best out of touch and at worst sheer ignorance, there were a few factors that made a dedicated run in Florida seem worthwhile.  Follow me after the fold.
