Is Hillary Making a Mistake?
Or is that mistakes? After only making one misstep in last week’s Texas debate(that Xerox comment was a horrible moment) I thought the Clinton camp had learned their lesson. Don’t be mean to Barack Obama. It doesn’t work. It doesn’t make you look good, or strong or competent. It only makes you look-well-mean. It makes him look, cool, clam and collected because he’s not the one yelling and pointing fingers. He looks presidential and you don’t. You’d think some high priced politicos would have pointed this out by now.
Over the weekend, Clinton lashed out at the Obama campaign for distributing fliers in Ohio that criticized her position on NAFTA and healthcare. Was her over the top response really worth it?
The fliers were distributed in one state. Not my state. We’ve not gotten the fliers and I don’t know if they’ll make it here or not. NOW, I’m really wondering if she expects everyone to buy healthcare even if I can’t afford it. I’ve no idea but now I’m concerned. Afteall it’s what the fliers says. /sarcasm
Clinton should’ve defended herself on Ohio soil and not invited Anderson Cooper and Katie Couric to the party. Sure the issue would have gotten some national attention but certainly not to this extent. The accusations have now permeated not just the Ohio primary but the Texas primary and March’s Super Tuesday. Obama’s getting getting thousand dollar results for a dollar spent.

I understand many believe Clinton is out of line, but I don’t happen to agree. Her reactions appear fair game. Unfoturnately, they aren’t working for her so it’s best for her to stop.

Little,
I’m not saying her reaction isn’t justified. I’m saying that her demeanor was over the top. The finger pointing doesn’t suit her well. She could have defended herself without it.

Wasn’t implying that you stated her reaction wasn’t justified. My comment was general in nature - many don’t believe her reaction is justified.

[...] the presidential race since last summer. I have to say that it doesn’t matter if Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton wins any one of these primaries. It also doesn’t matter which candidate gets the most delegates [...]
