I don't know why, but Reuters is circulating a picture of a wide-eyed, glowing, Hillary Clinton standing in front of a leering devil. Naturally, Drudge has linked it, with a headline calling her a devil right under other headlines announcing how close she is in Ohio and Texas.

Meanwhile, in what's being buried as a story within a "local news" story in the Philadelphia Inquirer, satan's spouse visited Philadelphia with encouraging words for key supporters:

The meeting, held inside Penn's Houston Hall, served to rally the faithful and "energize them" for the work to be done ahead of April's primary, said Mark Nevins, Pennsylvania communications director for the Clinton campaign.

Among those there were Gov. Rendell, Mayor Nutter, former Mayor John F. Street, state Democratic Party Chairman T.J. Rooney, local NAACP head J. Whyatt Mondesire and other high-profile supporters.

The president's message was that things were going well in Texas and Ohio, where his wife faces two key primary battles on Tuesday, Nevins said.

"If we deliver a convincing win in Pennsylvania, she'll end up being the nominee," Nevins said, quoting the former president.

In an interview, Nutter, who has endorsed Hillary Clinton, said he spoke with the former president.

"He's been a friend for some time and is always tremendously gracious," Nutter said. "There is a significant amount of enthusiasm and anticipation about Pennsylvania being a major player in the Democratic presidential primary, which has not been the case since 1992."

Nutter said he vowed to "do everything I can, anything I can, and whatever they might ask me to do to be fully supportive."

Rendell and Nutter reiterated their support for Hillary Clinton - no matter how she does in Ohio and Texas - at a news conference yesterday morning on economic development at the Greater Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce in Center City before leaving for the meeting with Bill Clinton.

In a separate interview, Rendell said he doesn't think Clinton would quit the race if she loses in Ohio and Texas.

What gives? I'd read that Hillary was trying to keep Bill in the closet, but she's not in charge of the Inquirer, is she?

Hmmm... Maybe Hillary has vast secret powers, greater than anyone imagined. I've been predicting she'd win this race by hook or by crook (especially by crook), and that seems to be exactly how the planets are aligning. Might that explain Reuters' glowing satanic imagery?

Sigh.

None of this is new.

I mean, considering what she did to Mitt Romney, can Barack Obama be far behind?

I'd say "get thee behind her!" but Rush Limbaugh (joining the growing Coulter-Clinton-Buchanan axis of evil) has already done just that!

Satan is powerful, folks!
