Obama vows to hector Senator Clinton to the very end


In an interview in Ohio with the New York Times, Senator Barack Obama says he will now begin hectoring Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton more forcefully. He told the reporter that she had not been candid describing her views on critical issues. Obama is desperately trying to convince his spooked supporters that his lack of assertiveness can be overcome and that her domination of the presidential race is merely temporary/



Obama’s vow to go on the attack comes just over two months before the first votes for the Democratic nomination. This vow follows lame showing previously this year, where has not exhibited the aggressiveness demanded by presidential politics and has so far allowed Hillary to storm to the top of the rockpile.

I always thought that Barack would sharpen the debate beginning in the fall. I never thought that she would have risen so dramatically in the national polls though. I don't think it's too late and I believe that she has real exposure with her swerve to the right/center in anticipation of the general, but I have always been a sucker for the underdog and the only time it has paid off was with the 77 Trailblazers. That said, I can't stand her double speak.

I never had a lot of faith that Barack would do that. All along, I honestly felt like Edwards was the only one who had a chance to take on Hillary. For all your disparaging her doublespeak, she has run an excellent campaign, and held off the competition masterfully.

As--incredibly--has Gilliani. Like with Edwards, I was sure Romney would emerge from the pack. I still think he will. I don't know how Rudy can ever pass the Republican smell test. He fixed NYC, but he can't fix the country. I mean even the firemen know he's a fraud. I still don't believe the GOP can elect a freedom of choice, gun controllin' liberal wing candidate who used to keep both his girlfriend and wife parked under the same roof. And to boot, neither of his children even plan to vote for him.

The ideal coup would be for someone like Romney or McCain to get Donna Hanover to do a commercial for them, outlining Rudy's family values.

Now, Kev, if you follow suit with previous years, am I to assume that you are now a Ron Paul supporter??

No, I am still proudly for Obama and why is it that you don't think he will be able to take her on? He's smart enough and I expect that during the next months she will have some difficulty running from her double speak. I don't think she's a shoe-in and the mastery of the campaign may meet some serious bumps in the early states.

Surely

Why won't he be able to take her on? Because he hasn't taken her on. He has blown hundreds of great opportunities when he could have made political hay. And for what? To play this nicey-nice game? He's living in a dreamland and he's just about blown it. You cannot be elected in his position without playing hardball. And he either can't or won't. Or is he holding fire because all he really wants is a crack at the vice-presidency, whether under Clinton or another candidate? So either he's really running for VP, or he is hopelessly politically naive.

Honestly Kevin, I have to hold my nose a little bit to vote for Hill, just as I did with her husband. I am not totally comfortable voting for a blue dog democrat, but I will. In the end, Bill was less conservative than he led you to believe, and I think mostly he worked out fine.

If I had my way, the candidate would be Joe Biden, who is an honest, great guy who could probably be very bit as charming as either Dutch or Willy were. And I like his politics very much. And he has three times more experience and savvy than Obama, Hillary and Edwards put all together...

I couldn't agree more about Joe, but speaking of running for VP or Sec'y of State, why in God's name didn't he slam them all when she was trumpeting her experience in each of the debates? It was embarrassing that he let that crap pass and quite frankly, he more than anyone had the responsibility to challenge her on that score.
