Hillary's spokesperson, Wolfson, says the plagiarism attack is working.

[madfloridian]

He just said it on Ed Schultz. He said it is working because of all the attention. This is just silly.

He says he has enormous respect for Pelosi, so he won't say a bad word about her...and her comments about not counting FL and MI.

He kept using the word "seat" in relation to the FL and MI delegates. He did not say more. Are they backing down from asking they be counted?

He seemed so happy that the plagarism attack is working.

I don't care for the people surrounding Hillary Clinton. There are probably some surrounding Obama I might not care for either. I did not like some who surrounded Howard Dean either. But I know for sure I find Penn, Wolfson, and Carville most annoying.

[ellacott]

1. I could only listen to part of him

He is indeed very annoying.

[SoFlaJet]

2. I guess we'll see

if it is or it isn't by 9 tonight-if it is-I'd be real proud that being a SCUMBAG paid off you know if I was Wolfson

[Carolina]

4. and this speaks volumes about the candidate for

whom he works. Slime, ooze, filth and dirt...

[MadBadger]

3. It is Working. Obama's Lead in the Gallup Tracking Poll is now at 1 down from 7 the day beffore

Hillary won Monday's numbers. This is sticking and Wolfson is a slimey Piece of Shit

[HeraldSquare212]

33. A 3-point shift - that's not that unusual, right?

[MadBadger]

34. Never seen it do this on a day that wasnt following a primary.

[HeraldSquare212]

35. Thanks.

[ShortnFiery]

54. OMG! Three point! Pack it up! It's f**king over.

:eyes:

[nickn777]

41. Rasmussen daily poll shows no movement....

+4 Obama today
has been +3, or + 4 Obama since Feb. 16th

[MadBadger]

46. Rasmussen is not as good of a polling company as Gallup

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

5. Is Wolfson really part of the Clinton campaign?

Because yesterday they were denying any part of the phony plagiarism lie.

[madfloridian]

25. Wolfson is a main advisor and confidant.

He is the one she "loaned" to Ned Lamont in CT. Swan was kicked off to the side and Lamont went on vacation. Good tactics? No.

I don't trust him.

[tekisui]

60. It was backfiring yesterday. Today their internals tell them its working.

Wolfson is a sonuvabitch.

[THUNDER HANDS]

6. the plagarism attack is working

Obama is finished. Through. This will sink him.

[ShortnFiery]

53. Wait there. Don't be so quick to write his OBIT. Let's wait for the voting, shall we?

:evilgrin:

[MH1]

7. I hope he's proud

if his "girl" wins the nomination and loses the GE.

Fuck them and their right wing rovian bullshit.

[Nedsdag]

11. Well, I hope his "girl" Hillary Mondale enjoys her little "bump."

Because she's a loser and a hypocrite.

If anyone has plagiarized, it's her.

[Window]

55. You've got that right.

Peace:thumbsup:

[kennetha]

8. That's because it goes to the core

Of Obama's phony candidacy. I know the kool-aid drinking Obamaniacs can't see this, but Obama hasn't exactly closed the deal with millions of potential voters who still have to weigh in. Any thing that gives the slightest pause and causes them to take a second look is a good thing from the Clinton camp's perspective.

Anything that causes voters to ask, "Well, who is this guy, really? And what really has he done, besides give some inspiring speeches, some of which aren't even his own?" works to Clinton's advantage and to the messiah's disadvantage.

[dionysus]

21. hookay troll...

fucking douchebag

[griffi94]

wow

no there's an informed well stated political argument...:rofl:

[dionysus]

29. yeah, that's all the response these "hyuck cult hyuck cult phoney hyuck messiah " trolls deserve

[Voltaire]

24. Anything goes eh? Anything???

Do you hear what you are saying? And do you understand that this is at the core of why many people do not like your candidate?

[yourguide]

9. They are pathetic.

I will not vote for them.

[grantcart]

10. Are these people really that far out of touch?

[City Lights]

12. MSNBC has had Wolfson on numerous times today.

They're really helping Camp Clinton push this story.

I don't recall seeing anyone from Camp Obama on to offer their point of view. The last time Wolfson was on, MSNBC followed up with the NBC/MSNBC reporter assigned to the Obama campaign. He said he heard Obama give the speech in question and was *shocked* to learn that those weren't his words.

[UALRBSofL]

13. I got the impression that Wolfson

Was suggesting that Hillary was seceding Florida to the republicans in the GE and that they wouldn't pursue it any more. I felt he was trying to say once we have the GE Hillary can win without florida.

[cloud75]

14. I'm happy it's working too!!!!

and this will not be the last time we see this video on you tube. If he wins the nomination mcain will use it...and if he loses the nomination the speech will be his Howard Dean (yeaaaah) moment.

[Nedsdag]

17. I'm glad you're "happy" it's working.

Let's see how "happy" you are when McCain takes the Oath of Office in 2009 if "your girl" wins.

[cloud75]

37. If she wins the nomination Obama can inspire everyone in the

country to vote for her with his "words" so i'm not worried about mcain. just kidding come on either candidate can beat old man mccain Nobama is no slam dunk against mccain...if he was THAT good of a candidate how come Hillary is still in this race down by only 40-something delegates with what seems like the everyone against her. Nobama has gotten a pass from the media just wait till they turn on him in the GE then it's a whole different ball game.

[Cha]

43. Fuck that shit and fuck the smear attacks

of the fucking hilarys.

[woolldog]

48. You disgust me. (eom)

[FrenchieCat]

18. What about this one? Any response from you?

http://www.oliverwillis.com/archives/2008/02/18/clintons-plagiarism-charge-fal/

[Barack_America]

15. It won't work.

There's simply too much time between the next contests. Once the voters get to know the candidates better, this shit just disappears.

It's hard to read much into the national polls anyway as the contests become hyper-focused. They just don't represent OH, TX and PA.

[MissMarple]

16. It could still backfire. Hill "borrows" words and phrases too.

Check out this DUer's thread. You can't sling slime without getting some on yourself.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x4661949

[lyonn]

19. So, if you have a speech writer it is great to quote word for word

their words..... A candidate is not required to tell us these words they are speaking are not really their words, just some that have been bought and paid for...

The media is busy, busy trying to whip up some good press to get the people to pay attention to their blather. Sad isn't it?

[rox63]

20. So this is proof-positive that it originated with the Clinton campaign

Weren't they denying it just yesterday? I have a hard time understanding why anyone would trust her to run the country... :banghead: :puke:

[harun]

56. And proof it has no substance whatsoever (n/t)

[kennetha]

22. Obamaniacs just don't get it

What does Obama really have to offer except the pose of "authenticity." That's it, really. No concrete accomplishments. No strikingly new policy proposals. No depth of experience. Nothing, really. They got in the Senate in a cake walk against a carpet-bagging joke of a candidate and then almost immediately started running for the presidency. On the basis of what, exactly?

Well, he gives a good speech and he's kind of a blank slate onto which one can project all of one's hopes and aspirations. This plagiarism think breaks just the teeny is crack in that pose of authenticity. But once that starts to crack there is simply no there, there, no real basis for his candidacy.

[Nedsdag]

23. Let me turn your argument around.

What does Hillary really have to offer except being married to a former president? Don't give me that "35 years of experience" crap. It won't work.

As for her "pamphlet" on managing the economy, she couldn't even manage her own campaign. I sure as hell wouldn't trust her with fixing the economy.

[Voltaire]

27. And Hillary offers....

More of the same DLC focus-group tested bullshit that helped get us in this mess we are in now. Give me hope over the same old swill.

[madfloridian]

28. I not one of those.....I am still a Deaniac.

They made fun of him and of us as well. I am so used to it. Now Dean people are leading major campaigns throughout the country, doing the work for the party and not just being talking heads.

We voted for Obama, to show our upset with Hillary trying to get FL delegates.

[tishaLA]

26. That's all they want...for it to "work"

They don't care about its validity, but its utility. It's disgusting.

[griffi94]

30. what happens when the news cycle

starts to repeat michelle obamas statement about having never been relly proud of her country before....they're gonna love that message in texas and ohio.....

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

31. I wonder what the Money situation is in both camps.

I haven't heard anything on that aspect for a few days now.

Penn and Wolfson are absolutely horrible. Senator Clinton ought to demand a refund.

[kennetha]

36. 15 million online in 15 days for Clinton

http://hotlineblog.nationaljournal.com/archives/2008/02/15m.html">story here.

I'm sure Obama is pulling in at least as much dough. Plus I think Clinton had a big fundraiser in Texas, getting it the old-fashioned way.

[billyoc]

32. "It's working, I swear! Please don't fire me"

:rofl:

[Cha]

51. Precisely! WTF is ol harold the lying smearing asshole

gonna say? That "oooop's it's not working..back to the war room"?

[TexasObserver]

38. Howard Wolfson couldn't sell ice at the equator. He's an idiot.

[Tippy]

39. I am so thankful at times like this I don't get CNN or MSNBC....

I really believe this will come back to bite Hillery. Voters are really getting tired of canidates going negative. Do they really think most voters are not smart enough to see through this ?

[stillcool]

40. Just like the "surge"?

[Eurobabe]

42. Working where, on whom?

These people are just desperate. Maybe he thinks it's working because the MSM is blabbering about it non-stop? I don't know I have stayed away from the TV today, I need a break from all the bullshit.

[madfloridian]

44. He sounded proud.

I haven't had the TV on today.

[Eurobabe]

50. I'm just watching stuff I TiVo'd

staying away from MSM today.

[kennetha]

45. Here's the test of whether it's working

If Hillary says "My opponent offers words and not even his own words. I offer solutions."

The campaign won't put this plagiarism charge in Hillary's mouth unless they believe it is really hitting home. Otherwise, they will leave it to staffers and not even her main surrogates on the trail will pursue it.

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

47. If it's working, people are even dumber than I think they are

It's a non-story.

I support Clinton, and I am about as unmoved by this "scandal" as the one involving Tony Rezko.

I admire that she's fighting till the end. Her fighting spirit is one of the things I like most about her. But she is throwing wild punches. If her advisors think she's connecting, they are either high or full of shit.

[ShortnFiery]

49. IMO, Wolfson is a smarmy POS on par with Mark Penn and KKKarl Rove.

:puke: :thumbsdown:

[zulchzulu]

52. Wolfson is a sniveling liar who will go as low as he can go to distort Obama's record

He is scum. I heard the interview and he continued to spin on the faux issue.

[truebrit71]

57. He's right. It's working to show how LITTLE Hillary has to say about ANYTHING...

...other than "Obama is kicking my pant-suited ass all over the map and because I have no ideas myself and have the crossover appeal of a dead leper I'll just attack him on some inane bullshit that no-one cares about"....

Yeah, THAT part is working out fine...

What a mucking foron...

:eyes:

Oh and he can try and seat as many FL and MI delegates as he wants, she STILL won't have enough for the nomination...They're dead-even in TX...and a tiny lead in OH...Sorry Hilltards, it aint' gonna be enuff using ANYONE'S math...


Buh-bye!

[jenmito]

58. And now the Clinton reps. are claiming they agree with Obama that words ARE important...

What bull! If they had never said "words are cheap" Obama would never have USED those lines in his speech! :eyes:

[cottonseed]

59. Yay! poo flinging, cynicism, and devisiveness is coming back!

Now we're back to the politics of old, what a relief.

[tekisui]

61. Wolfson says, "I'm trying to make it work, now."

[Major Hogwash]

62. Good, he has a job for 2 more weeks. After that he can go back to the Enquirer magazine

And peddle his lies about Lindsay Lohan.
