Andrew Expects Clinton Attack

In an interview with ABC News, Andrew says he knows what's coming from his friends at the Clinton campaign.

He anticipates the Clinton campaign "will use the same words and the same language to attack me that Republicans used to attack me when I was DNC chair and I was defending Bill Clinton."

"I say this as a longtime participant in old politics," he says. "I've sparred with everyone from Lee Atwater to Karl Rove."

Andrew points out that he was in charge during a rather tumultuous time for the party — during impeachment and the Florida recount.

"The same words will come out of the surrogates' mouths to attack me that the Republicans used — and that demonstrates the very hypocrisy of the old politics," he says. "We need to unite the party. You can actually be for someone without being against someone else."

1. I imagine the SD's lining up at the coffin of her campaign and each nailing
one nail into that coffin and walking over to Obama.

3. You have to admire the integrity of people like this
They showed great loyalty (by supporting Hillary) then they show that they also have solid moral compasses, that show them when it's time to put the greater good ahead of loyalty.

6. Greater good? As in losing the WH?

4. He knows he's going to be attacked, and he did it anyway.
He knows it's important for the party and the country to get behind Obama now, and stop indulging Hillary's ego trip.

And I've been hearing there are a lot of SDs who are coming to the same conclusion.
