Clinton Goes All-Out Negative in New Ad
2008-02-16
The battle of the airwaves has definitely hit Wisconsin; after the first round of back-and-forth in TV ads over why-no-debate in the state whose primary is Tuesday, the campaign of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton has taken a decidedly negative, may we say spine-chilling swing, in this next round. As has been asked allaround, will this shift toward a far more direct attack mode undercut the possible momentum gained by Senator Barack Obama in his spate of new wins this month, or will it turn off voters in a state where issues are issues, thoughtful and pronounced?

Mrs. Clinton’s new TV spot accuses Obama of putting out “false attack ads” in response to her original TV spot that criticized him for not agreeing to debate her in Milwaukee. Mr. Obama’s ad, put out Thursday, said that the 18 past debates and two upcoming forums in Ohio and Texas were enough. The new ad not only calls out Mr. Obama for refusing the debate invitation, but it also reiterates her contention that his health care plan would leave 15 million Americans without coverage.

#12  IMHO, if the DNC seats those FLA and Mich delegates after declaring them ineligible, there will be blood in the streets. It'll make the Watts riots look like a bachelor party. Careful you don't get caught in the crossfire.

#11  Harold Ickes, who voted for the rules that will not seat Michigan and Florida delegates, is an advisor to Clinton and is now in favor of seating them. Talk about hypocracy! Look for a very tumultuous time ahead.

#8  for political junkies and train wreck fans - the updated Clinton meme on seating the Fla and Mi delegates. It's gonna get bloody, OMHO, and I'm getting stocked up on Schadenfreude - is that available in Lo-Carb?

#7  My Daughter sent me this.

Dear Abby:

My husband is a liar and a cheat. He has cheated on me from the beginning, and, when I confront him, he denies everything. What's worse, everyone knows that he cheats on me. It is so humiliating.

Also, since he lost his job six years ago, he hasn't even looked for a new one. All he does all day is smoke cigars, cruise around and shoot
the breeze with his buddies while I have to work to pay the bills.

Since our daughter went away to college he doesn't even pretend to like
me and hints that I may be a le5bian. What should I do?

Signed: Clueless


Dear Clueless:
Grow up and dump him. Good grief, woman you don't need him anymore! You're a United States Senator from New York, running for President of the United States. Act like one!

#4  Tiny beads of sweat. Fear they can smell from a distance. The feeling in your gut at 3am that says it's all spiraling out of control. The feeling it's drifting away and there is nothing you can do. Say goodnite, Evita.
