Geoff Garin, Clinton strategist was complaining yet again about the double standard Senator Clinton is getting from the press, an argument heard since Super Tuesday with the famous Saturday Night Live “pillow fluffing” sketch.

The media abandoned Senator Obama out of fear and he managed to stay on message against a rising tide of negative attack adverts. He responded briefly in Pennsylvania and it disgusted his supporters so he is now smart enough to remain above the fray and respond to only the most egregious of charges.

In your Washington Post Op-Ed and self-congratulatory letter on blogHillary, you are trying to revive the ‘great right (or is it now left) wing conspiracy’ and trying to get the media to give you an even fairer shake when you have owned the airwaves since Tuesday?

Your campaign certainly does not miss an opportunity to hit below the belt. On 60 Minutes questioning Mr. Obama’s Christianity with “as far as I know…”, jumping on the “bitter” remark out of context, raising and re-raising and re-raising the Reverend Wright issue… out of context, these are attacks against a member of your own party to keep your candidacy alive. Add in your bizarre claims of foreign policy “street cred” and laughing at the lies about Bosnia snipers, it all smacks of desperation and an ‘I’ll do anything to win’ strategy that will cripple and doom your party in November.

Senator McCain is tanned, rested and ready. He is now focussed on a national strategy, taking weekends off while the Senator jokes about sleep deprivation and keeps eating the party’s young.

Your base is 50+. I am in that base and recognise that the country needs Obama’s base mobilised to fix the mess we’re in. There is enough apathy and scepticism to go around. You are squandering both groups’ goodwill.

Faced with a candidate who is in the lead and moving with a strong and steady 50-state organisation, Clinton and Co. fight every phantom and even create patently false numbers. Knowing the previous average figures per voter, $10 million dollars in 24-hours would be the largest 1-day total in history when the maths of 80,000 new donors averages to somewhere in the $6 million range. When, will we see the corrected actual total, after Indiana? What a coincidence. Mrs. Clinton got a bump from Pennsylvania, not Mt. Everest. The video box on our Vadimus Post main page from TalkingPointsMemo.com speaks clearly about the real mathematics required to get the lead and the nomination.

We’re weary from the scandals that surround you and your husband Senator. We’re weary of the silly side noise that drowns out messages. We’re weary of sound byte campaigns that tear down and emasculate good people. Senator Obama has us listening to and reading complete sentences and paragraphs in this campaign. This time around we have YouTube, candidate websites, blogs galore and Internet news providers that allow us to view substance over hyperbole. I have seen and probably could deliver both stump speeches. As an informed voter, I’ve read your positions (sometimes more than once) and know where you stand.

Here’s the deal, after almost 16 months, there is nothing new to learn about either of you. Your call for yet another debate (!) is ludicrous. We’re about to witness the annual NFL draft. A key for coaches selecting players is if there are two excellent players they always look for “the best athlete available” and that comes down to intangibles. Who will be an impact player for my team?

Mrs. Clinton, you got angry with Gov. Richardson when he endorsed Senator Obama. I’ve been listening to all of those who defected from your campaign (including Gabriel Guerra-Mondragon, who served as ambassador to Chile under President Clinton and had been a top fund-raiser for you) and not one can pinpoint what it is, but they all agree the junior Senator from Illinois is “the best athlete available.”

I was never good at old maths let alone your new maths. Watching your campaign’s manoeuvring and claiming, with a straight face, to now have the popular vote lead is not Hillary math, it’s Robert Mugabe math.
