Hell hath no fury like Hillary

Toby Harnden: “A delicious spat between the Obama and Hillary camps today after coruscating anti-Clinton comments from Hollywood mogul David Geffen that vividly encapsulated every concern about Hillary and Bill that nestles in the hearts of Democrats wary of the couple.

What did it reveal? That this will be a bloody campaign. That Team Obama is prepared to do battle. That Team Clinton wants to bury Obama early. And that Hillary will respond to every slight with ferocious indignation while protesting with a straight face that she only wants to run a positive campaign.

Geffen’s comments to Maureen Dowd of the New York Times were incredibly damaging to Hillary. Dowd is one of the most influential political journalists in the US. Two decades ago, she sunk the presidential campaign of Joe Biden. Hillary wants to make sure Maureen doesn’t do the same thing to her.” (Telegraph.UK)

Geffen’s major misgivings speak to the unelectability of Clinton and the vulnerability to giving the election easily to the Republicans if she is the nominee.
