If Obama was really dirty, he would start to paint her as a "hysterical, angry woman".

[Bonobo]

That would be a terribly rotten thing to do. I sure hope he does not do it.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

1. I hope he does.

[krabigirl]

20. ? are you serious??? ugh

[jlake]

2. Hmm.... trial balloon?

[polichick]

3. If he does, the women in this country will kick his sorry ass! :)

[sandnsea]

4. She's a liar surrounded by corrupt people

Why get personal when you can win on facts.

[BenDavid]

34. truly, have you read all the incriminating stuff on obama the

press has not covered. This is what hrc was trying to do bring worth all the shit the mediawhores have not researched and maybe this will encourage a mediawhore to investigate this.....There is a lot of there, there.....as you can tell from the reaction when hrc said that slumlord line. obama is not the messiah all who support him believe he is.....

[sandnsea]

39. Hsu, Trie, Chung, Paul

You really want to have a fight on corruption?

This whole Rezko thing has been beat to death in the press, there's no charges, it's nothing and it's over.

[The_Casual_Observer]

5. Let him. They'll call him "hopeless" & it will all be over.

The guy is wearing awfully thin.

[Proud2BAmurkin]

6. he oughta try that

[Occam Bandage]

7. I hope he doesn't, too. I want him to win.

[polichick]

9. He's a good candidate - just needs to lose the arrogance...

...and show more respect for the Democratic base.

[BeatleBoot]

8. BHO Totally Lost His Cool Tonight.

Totally.


Too Young and not ready for Prime Time.


Hillary wiped his nose everytime John made him stomp his feet and cry.


'Twas funny, for sure.

[Bonobo]

10. Hillary came off as a very unpleasant person. Obama got lots of laughs and was strong but amiable.

[BeatleBoot]

23. Yeah. He won over all of the Reagan Democrats in my county tonight

:sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm:

:sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm:

:sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm:

:sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm:





:rofl:

Our party is so fucked, it's not funny.

And I use the phrase, "our party" based on the assumption that you're a Democrat.

[TheDonkey]

35. Hillary immediately began to yip and scream when Obama began to speak

during their heated debate. It was totally classless when Obama had previously let her go on a 2 minute tirade against him without once saying a word to talk over her. But when he was given a time to speak she immediately began to interrupt him very loudly. She's losing way more support than gaining and this bodes bad things for the party in general.

I do not think people realize how the party is weakening from her and Bill's attacks and bile.

[Konza]

11. Now, just give her the mic and let her dig her own grave

He doesn't have to call her "angry" she comes off that way well enough on her own.
She has reverted to Queen Hillary the Entitled One mode, and she's pissed off.
So If someone is intent on shooting themselves in the foot, the best thing to do is get out of their way and let her go at it.

And for the life of me, why does she end up yelling half the time?
Do they have some polling that suggests that people prefer to see her screaming at them through the tv?
I thought at a previous debate her microphone was too close or just turned up too loud, but tonight it happened again.
She would start out ok and then end up in some kind of pissed off Alaskan Screech Owl mode.
"Drop the Salmon 'cause here it comes, and man is it pissed!"
"Eeeeech Eeeeeech 35 Years! Eeeeeech"

[HughMoran]

12. Those would be his final words

thankfully, he knows better than that.

[DURHAM D]

13. And she would call him a big eared poser. n/t

[jeanmarc]

14. Well, she keeps throwing out baseless charges

Sooner or later, it's time to stop denying and make HER deny something.

[ursi]

15. he carries himself with more dignity then her or Bill

[indimuse]

18. not!

...

[izzybeans]

32. Bill is that you?

[Stephanie]

16. I'vd noticed there have not been any charges of sexism against the Obama campaign.

Because there has not been any sexism coming from the Obama campaign.

[Bonobo]

17. Precisely! That was my point. This is a dirty card he has NOT used. nt

[Konza]

19. They haven't used it....YET. n/t

[Bonobo]

21. So bookmark this. If he uses it, it will be a mark of extreme desperation. nt

[Konza]

24. Perhaps I misunderstood

I'm suggesting that Obama has not used sexism for political gain.
I would suggest that Hillary surrogates have interjected race.
I would also suggest that if the Hillary campaign gets more desperate, sexism charges will be leveled at the Obama campaign.

I think it's just a matter of time before she runs the "Woman Power+Obama hates women, Ergo-if you are for Obama then you are against Women" crap.
I've already encountered that little one here on occasion.
So when I said "yet" I was referring to Team Clinton.

I seriously, seriously doubt the Obama campaign wants to touch sexism, anymore than they wanted to get dragged into a racial debate with the Clintonistas.

[DURHAM D]

36. You have got to be kidding -

watch the Jesse Jackson Jr. clip. If any pundit, surrogate or candidate had made a similar comment based on race they would have been asked to leave the country. Jesse Jackson Jr. is Obama's National Co-Chairman and a vile sexist pig.

Obviously you have access to the internet but don't bother to search out facts.

[krabigirl]

22. I wouldn't put it past his campaign. Him, no, but his campaign, yes.

[1corona4u]

25. And if Hillary was really dirty

she'd paint him as homophobic. And a slacker.

[Konza]

29. And don't forget

If she really wants to get dirty she'll have people out there reminding voters that she is running against a "young, inexperienced, Black man" with the middle name Hussein.
That's H U S S E I N.
And did I mention that my opponent is young and Black?

If she starts that up, well, I really can't imagine her or her supporters ever, ever doing anything like that.....

[1corona4u]

31. Too bad all of the things you mentioned were facts....

so no real threat there.

[Konza]

33. That's true, and it's also a fact

that you guys have used race, and even the guy's friggin middle name, simply to score political points by appealing to some people's prejudices.
That's your schtick.
That's your legacy.
And the saddest thing is is that you are not even ashamed to admit it!

Anything to Win: Hillary 2008

But do keep this in mind: all the shit you stir in the primaries in order to win the nomination will come back to you tenfold in the general.
And we might not be there to bail you out this time.
And no, I don't want to hear about how "unfair" it is to keep bringing up scandals and all the bullshit that is coming. By choosing the low road you have embraced the politics of personal destruction. And as we all remember from the 1990s, that can be some ugly ass politics.

[1corona4u]

40. I'm not a Hillary supporter.

So it's not 'you guys'.

Fuck Obama though.

Oh, and I'm an independent, not a democrat. By the way, Kansas? You are one of the most irrelevant states, with only 6 electoral votes, LOL.

[Konza]

41. Well "independent", welcome to Democratic Underground n/t

[1corona4u]

42. Perhaps you're the one that needs to be welcomed.

You're the new one here, not me.

[K Gardner]

26. He doesn't have to. She did it to herself with her performance tonight.

[GoldieAZ49]

43. She certainly did

smug arrogant dirty looks at Obama too,

hopefully played over and over

[Freddie Stubbs]

27. He is smart enough to know that such a strategy would backfire

[Bonobo]

28. If it was detectable enough, yes.

[Cha]

30. That's not in Obama

to point out the obvious ..hilary is her own worst enemy and is showing that all on her own. The effects of keeping her lies straight.

[Beausoir]

37. His spokesmen here at DU are doing his heavy lifting for him in that regard.

So, no worries! Your message will get out.

And what a revolutionary, HOPEful and CHANGEing message it is!

[TheWebHead]

38. there's a lot of places he or his camp could have gone

in response to the clinton smear machine, but he's stayed above that.
