Bubba Is Not Playing Small Ball

Well, Bubba is making quite a splash and the MSM and the paid punditry simply can't miss this any more.  Welcome to the party folks.  Over at Powerline, Steven Heyward has some amusing and spot-on commentary on Bubba's political aura:

"Unlike Cory Booker, Harold Ford, and other lesser Democrats, you can’t leash the Big Dog. Even though he hasn’t been on the hustings for several years and arguably flopped in South Carolina in 2008 on behalf of Hillary, Big Dog Clinton doesn’t make many political mistakes.  Even his B-game is impressive."

Yet, despite his accurate insight, Heyward attributes small ball motivations to Bubba's sabotage of the Lightworker.

"First, perhaps this is merely payback for besting Hillary in 2008 ...Second, a variation of the first theory is that the Big Dog wants to kill off any chance of Hillary replacing Biden on the ticket, thinking this would also tarnish her chances in 2016 if she agreed to this desperation measure.  ...
Third, and my favorite theory, is that Clinton knows that Obama’s class warfare strategy is a loser, and is making his comments deliberately to force Obama to change course while he still has time."

I think this gives Big Dog Bubba too little credit.  This isn't about Hillary and influencing Obama's policy stance.  As I have stated, Barack Obama is only renting the Democratic Party and Bubba & Co intend to do nothing less than full scale reclamation by evicting the tenant, cancelling the lease, and seizing control of the asset anew.  Throw in massive ego with an eye to a place in history and you have the Big Dog playing the Big Game.
