Resident Fellow David Frum
Hillary Clinton had everything lined up to reprise the mighty George W. Bush
nomination campaign of 1998-99.
She would use the vast donor network
inherited from her husband to raise a $100-million campaign fund. This vast
treasury would deter potential rivals from entering the race. And should anybody
in the party murmur against this buying of the nomination, she would field a
team of party leaders to warn: 'Those who are with us now will be remembered
when we win. And those who are against--they will also be remembered when we
win.'
It worked for Bush. But it's not working for Clinton." [more]
