Hillary goes on “fun” offensive against Obama
Posted on December 3rd, 2007 at 1:21 pm by Contributor ArchivePity poor Hillary and all the mean things the boys have said about her. Attacks on fellow Democrats are “poison” to the party, or so she has been claiming, but, apparently, Democratic unity was only important as long as she was securely leading the pack. Since Barack Obama has taken the lead in some Iowa polls, and she finds herself in danger of falling behind Edwards in that important first state, well, “now the fun part starts” as Hillary launched major attacks on her main rival.
Whether or not you are completely shocked by Hillary’s change of heart, her attacks on Obama should surprise no one. Hillary questioned Obama’s personal character and his political courage, seemingly contradictory words coming from someone who has discouraged such venom. Clinton also found time to address a political issue, and claimed that Obama’s health care plan would leave millions uninsured, unlike her final solution, which would force everyone under her tender, socialist umbrella.
A spokesman for Obama suggested that calling such attacks “fun” speaks volumes about the character of Senator Clinton, adding that Obama’s campaign aims to move beyond “that divisive kind of politics.”

who is sounding like a frontrunner now?
the numbers are far worse for the Clinton campaign than a casual look would even reveal… Obama is absolutely destroying her as a second choice among voters out of the top three in Iowa, meaning that those supporting candidates who get under 15% in the first round will be defecting to Obama, swelling his numbers further. Add to that the truly astounding groundwork the campaign is putting in helping and encouraging largely ignored but passionate college voters to the polls, and you have the makings of not just a win in Iowa, but a potentially impressive one. If Edwards can manage to come in second, Hillary’s campaign will officially end the phase it is in right now of trickling out, and go into all out freefall.
Obama’s already cut her national lead to under 20 points, and her lead in New Hampshire to single digits.
Couldn’t happen to a nicer bit.. Oh, Did I say that out loud?
concerning Oprah…
Please connect the dots. Oprah has not donated a penny to Obama’s campaign. She praised Obama for a little while, then stopped. Now, she will go to Iowa, NH and SC.
Also, at the same time Oprah first endorsed Obama, other celebrities did too. They stopped, all at about the same time.
It is almost as if their endorsements aren’t motivated by their love of Obama. What else could they be motivated by?
could it be that, besides the 3 million dollar fundraiser she threw, opening her home for one of the first times ever, she wanted to save her stumping for a bit closer to the election to maximize her impact?
