If You Were A Strategist For Either Clinton or Edwards, How Would You Try To Derail Obama?

[THUNDER HANDS]

If you ran the Clinton or Edwards campaigns, what strategy would you use to try to slow Obama down?

1. start talking about issues

5. The first thing I would do if I was Edwards

would be to pull out the 'Two Americas' booklet from his last run with Kerry - and just politely ask if there is anything that Obama is now saying that hasn't already been covered by JRE FOUR years ago?

I'd also take clips from past tv ads and then run them against the current Obama crop and ask where the similiarites should end and who is plagiarizing who.

Simple.

2. Keep telling the truth about his inexperience

That he never balanced a budget before, etc.

3. Remain positive

and highlight my candidate's strengths. There is a chance that all the negative bullshit will come back to bite the party in the ass if the campaign becomes too negative. Negativity only helps the republicans in the general elections. The Clinton camp is fucking up for the Obama if he does get the nomination. And Edwards is fucking up for Hillary if she does get nominated.

I'd be a terrible strategist since my number one concern is getting a Democrat in the White House this November. No matter which Democratic candidate.

4. hit on the economy over an over and over, in the next months like this week

You are going to hear more on the down turn of the economy and unemployment
