The Enabler And The Moral Reprobate

Meanwhile, Obama's in somewhat of a bind. Because of the tenor and theme of his campaign he can't go blatantly negative on Clinton. He'll have to find some way to hit hard without appearing to be using the "old politics." Maybe some 527s can do the work. We'll see if he and his team have the creativity to thread the needle. Everything they've shown so far suggests they can. On the other hand, maybe they've blown their wad.

Myself, I'd love to see ads run reminding people of just who the Clintons are. I'd title one The Enabler and remind people of soap opera we'll be in for with her moral retard of a husband as First Laddie. A lot of Dems remember the Bill Clinton years fondly. I'd work on helping them remember the stained blue dress and the cigar.

I'd title another Any Future President and run this video with her comments about pulling out of Iraq and distancing herself from the vote atop it. 

Or one called Bush's Third Term and contrast her almost-disavowals of Iraq with this recent statement:  "We have given them the gift of freedom, the greatest gift you can give someone. Now it is really up to them to determine whether they will take that gift." —Hillary Clinton, 3-3-08

Or one called Sybil showing a sequence of her gracious debate ending from the Texas debate, the sarcasm of her mocking him, the anger of her "shame on you" episode, and her explanation of her vote on the disgusting bankruptcy bill with a voiceover saying something like "Which version is going to be ready on day one?"

And another called Betrayal showing her extensive record of betraying progressive ideas/measures with this voiceover. "Can we really trust her to do what's right for America?"

Great idea with those ads. 527s are the answer. He can stay distant from those. Last night really pissed me off. Ugh...who are those idiots who don't know how to read a damn news article or look up a candidate's record who all voted for Hillary in Texas and Ohio? She gets the "uneducated and uninformed" vote because of name recognition. Meanwhile, it keeps this race alive and divides the democratic party just when they need to be uniting... F'ing Hillary should know that her candidacy will inspire millions of hate-filled Repubs and disenfranchised Dems to run out and vote for McCain, who's war mongering petrifies me. Hillary's mathematically out of it, but she's got "momentum." She's become the frickin' Nader of today, only with way more power (and I have a lot of respect for Nader). Her wannabe republican ass better not get elected. I feel like Obama—even though he seriously needs experience as well as an amazing cabinet—is the best chance we have to really turn things around. I want to live in a country with progressive values. We're so close and yet so far. Stupid voters are better than no voters. Why any dem, man or woman, who is even pretending to pay attention, would vote for Hillary after the Rovian shit she pulled this past month is beyond me.
