Yesterday, Hillary Clinton pulled a "full Ginsberg:" she was on all five of the major Sunday-morning TV news talkathons. According to several news reports, this is part of her drive to appear inevitable.
The term "full Ginsberg" comes from Monica Lewinski's first lawyer, and we know what good it did him and his client.
Hmmm. Last time I checked, not one vote had been cast. Even in the bellwether states of Iowa and New Hampshire, most people have just started to think seriously about the presidential campaign. And citizens in those states like the reputation of being independent. Which means that a number of them enjoy taking politicians showing hubris down a peg or two.
A friend of mine whose judgment I respect opines that "Hillary has everyone but the voters." He may just be right.
Finally, NPR's Cokie Roberts made Hillary sound inevitable in her commentary this morning. Roberts gives us the relentlessly conventional wisdom, which means she's almost always wrong.
