Hillary attacks indeed
Have you noticed all the little "opposition research" and other assorted attacks by the Hillary campaign dumped today? Obama wanted to be president since 3rd grade. "The fun part starts." Obama blinked on one thing or another.

This is dangerous ground for Hillary. She was leading because she "was positive." Instead of reinforcing the positive, she's reinforcing the negative. This is particularly dangerous when you consider that people want "change" and see Obama and Edwards as change agents. I think this is a bad move on her part. She has positive attributes. She should be highlighting them.

Can we expect the kindergarteners For Truth? She is incredibly lucky the speech writers are on strike.

4. LOL!
Actually double-LOL, one for the KforT part, and then for the writers part. Come on, settle already, I need my fix of Stewart and COlbert on all this primary non-sense, it would make it a bit more palatable.

2. She was leading because she "was positive."
Hardly. She was losing ground because she is/was positive. No more.

3. Being positive or negative had nothing to do with it.
She was leading because people hadn't started to pay attention until a few weeks ago.

It's exactly what many of us have been saying for months.

6. I agree with this point of view as well.
This is a large part of it too.

7. I do so hope you are right
and that we see the begining of a trend. About time for people, MSM included, to start waking up already.

5. She lost ground because she was disingenuous.
But that's not fatal. What is she going to do by driving this into the mud? She's going to make people look at her as the bad guy.

10. Thats a blatant lie. She made no such vow
Edited on Mon Dec-03-07 02:10 PM by mtnsnake
In that video you provided, she said "I'm not interested in attacking my opponents, I'm interested in attacking the problems of America..."

No where did she "vow" not to attack her opponents a couple weeks ago. She wasn't interested in attacking them at that particular time. Nice try...

12. Democrats want to see some fight
in their pick this year evidently. Otherwise her lead would not have been threatened from the silly attacks we have seen against her.

14. He's made it a part of his stump speech to say she had long term plans to run and he didn't
She is showing otherwise. And should.
