Anzalone on Clinton
The Fix on the Washington Post site looks at the race for the Democratic nomination and has a memorable quote from Alabama’s John Anzalone:
“I believe there is no path to victory,” said one Clinton strategist granted anonymity to speak candidly about the future of the campaign. “I also believe she wants to see a Democrat win in November and she will do the right thing.”
Nor are there many among unaffiliated Democratic consultants who believe she is ready to bail out. “She is the Japanese soldier in the Pacific island that hasn’t been told the war is over,” said Democratic pollster John Anzalone. “Occasionally she picks off a few islanders and considers it a victory. Well, yesterday she found out the war was over.”
And for whatever it’s worth… The Fix had a concern this week about comments there similar to the one here this week.
(R) Jeff Sessions (1-19)
(D) Vivian Figures (33-1)
(D) Artur Davis (1-49)
(R) Mike Hubbard (13-1)
(?) David Bronner (OFF)
Anzalone consults for Davis who has been publicly in Obama’s camp. Does that qualify him as an “unaffiliated Democratic consultant?” Just a thought.

I’d imagine of the dozens of clients Anzalone has, that he has some in the Obama and Clinton camps.

The point of the post has more to do with Clinton which is certainly relevant in the wake of the primaries this week. The Alabama connection made it even more appropriate for this site.
However, if you really thought he’d pay…

OK, Danny, I agree. Pardon my occlusion. I suppose you got the AEA guarantee in lieu of confirmation.
