| Chelsea Clinton Sitting Next to Little Hispanic Lady |
| Thursday, February 21, 2008 |
If you happen to find my obscure little site on the edge of the blogosphere (tucked into a near useless folder on blogger, which even though it is owned by Google is one of the worst places to be if you want to get your site visited) and you have a chance to watch today's Democratic debate between Obama and Clinton, notice that Chelsea Clinton is sitting next to a little Hispanic lady. Is this a coincidence? This is in no means an attack on the daughter of the candidate, the Clinton's despite it all seem to have raised a well groomed and mentally stable child (e.g. no Paris Hilton moments) and should be proud, but it has the look of a seating intended to help the Clinton campaign draw the Latino vote in state like Texas. If they needed to win South Carolina again Chelsea would probably be seated next to someone out of the scene from roots.
This debate seems to have a subdued tone, not quite the Hollywood love fest Obama and Clinton had before, but it seems that there is some focus on getting the Democrats into the Whitehouse and they have reduced direct attacks (well, at least those at close range). It is in Clinton best interest not to get into direct confrontation in a free form argument with Obama, because his retorts are far more penetrating than her attacks. The Wal-Mart and slumlord exchange in when viewed in the actual context and not edited or cut down by news media outfits, was far more damaging for Clinton than Obama.
Has anyone noticed any of this? |
