The War Room and 2008
I watched The War Room, the D.A. Pennebaker/Chris Hedges documentary about the 1992 Clinton presidential campaign yesterday. It’s a startling, intimate document of a group of cut-throat Democrat politicos. Considering the wishy-washy Dems we have in Congress today, it was a refreshing and a bit scary to see a team of Dems so passionate and so aggressive in their campaign for the presidency.
For any person who isn’t rooting for Hillary to win in 2008, The War Room is like having a bucket of ice cold water dumped on you during a deep sleep. I keep hoping that Obama will play a little more aggressive as it gets closer to January. He can only rely on John Edwards as the attack dog for so long and Clinton isn’t one to hold back when she needs to be aggressive. The War Room reminds we non-Hillary folks that the Clintons and the people they surround themselves with are Goliaths in American politics. The problem is, none of the other candidates appear to be the David who can stop Mrs. Clinton.
