Point of Post: To illustrate the fact that Hillary is not the darling of the media that Obama is. Apparently not enough room at the top of the Progressive Hero's Pyramid for more than one. After Obama, Bill and Hillary are truly "also rans."
Clinton's recently announced $2 million ad buy, for example, will likely
do little to convince voters she has a soft, authentic side, MSNBC talking heads suggested Monday.
Bloomberg News' Mark Halperin added, "In the short-term, the echo
chamber matters a lot. There's no one inside the echo chamber who looks
at these two new ads and goes wow, that's awesome, that's
awe-inspiring."
"It feels a lot of the time like she knows she's up by 40 points," MSNBC
contributor Willie Geist added. "[The approach seems to be] don't say
anything to mess with that, don't answer a question directly because you
don't have to, you can kind of obfuscate about things and be vague. I
think that catches up with you eventually."
"Hillary Clinton has the negative numbers when it comes to being
viewed as trustworthy," CNN's Nia-Malika Henderson remarked, noting a
problem that has long dogged the Democratic presidential candidate.
"She's had problems with her campaign generating that enthusiasm and a
sense of connection."
"If you look at the internal poll numbers, they say people don't
think that Hillary Clinton represents or relates to people like them,"
she added, suggesting that Clinton's multi-million dollar ad buy will
likely do little to create a connection with voters.
Whispers that Biden will make a go of it in 2016 may have informed Team
Clinton's decision to roll out her $2 million ad campaign well ahead of
schedule, the Huffington Post's Sam Stein said Monday, adding that the early buy suggests her campaign may be genuinely "spooked."
