Wall Street Journal 2-9-08: Peggy Noonan compares Hillary Clinton to Rasputin, and says Obama "is not Bambi, he's bulletproof"

Perhaps someone can post a link here for us...

In Ms. Noonan's Saturday political column, she discusses whether Hillary Clinton is a big enough person to admit when her campaign for the Democratic Presidential nomination has run its course, and she discusses how much harder it's going to be for the Republicans against Obama.

Her last paragraph:  "The Democrats continue not to recognize what they have in this guy (Obama).  Believe me, Republican professionals know.  They can tell."

She's really hitting some high notes lately, and seems to be getting better and better each week.

To be fair, I think that Peggy Noonan has hated the Clintons for a long time.

I just read the article. It was a well written assessment of both candidates. No hate that I read, unless any analysis of the Clintons=hate. And she's right: Obama will be pretty much untouchable due to the race issue.

I can't believe that Hillary is going to go down without taking some shots.

Yes, she's never been fond of the Clintons, but it you look at the stuff she was writing 2-6 months ago, she would criticize HRC then talk about the (at the time) great likelihood that Clinton would be the Dem. nominee. 

There has been a definite change in her tone over the last 2-3 weeks.  To me, it feels like she can't admit how she likes Obama.  Not that she's going to vote Dem. anytime soon, she just likes Obama. 

And she wrote a delicious column after Hillary cried in NH.

been reading lots of stuff lately, rsw, warning Obama that wounded Clintons are dangerous Clintons.

And thanks for posting the link!!
