2. I believe it is because her first and for most opponent is Obama, wait until the GE for McCain.

22. I agree - she attacks the GOP all the time - McCain (other than Iraq)is saved for Sept.

You just have to take notice of things that don't support your prejudices.

6. Can you give me an example of how she has specifically mentioned McCain in a bad light?
Obama seems to be doing it. Why not Hillary?

4. She attacks him all the time.... for the longest time she was the only candidate
who was attacking McCain and not sniping at the other Democrats.

21. Thanks for the Links
IF only she would do it more often and more forecfully though. The hasn't much at all lately.

"Now, you know Senator McCain is a friend, and I honor his service to the nation, but on this issue we have an honest and important disagreement. I believe we need to get help to the middle class as soon as we can. " - Hillary Clinton

weak if you ask me

23. Be honest. Obama has only recently begun to attack McCain.... and not too forcefull either.
It would be a smart move for either of them to forcefully assault McCain 24/7 -- whichever one would employee that strategy would likely add 5 points to their polling numbers within a week.

Not celebrities.

And, she has. Many times. And, before you ask, "link?", look it up yourself. Good grief, this place is nuts today.

16. I tried looking it up
couldn't find anything. I do find news stories about Obama attacking McCain. I also found a link where Hillary praises McCain and says Obama is just a speech.

13. She has
When she claimed she had as much experience to be CinC as McCain (but Obama didnt) she was attacking McCains greater experience over her.



Okay, thats all I got.......

15. Before she can do that she has to give the impression that it's just her and McCain in the GE
and she clearly cannot do that at this point so she keeps talking him up in an attempt to get there. Meanwhile, all McCain needs to do is sit back, sip on some wine and let the dems tear eachother apart while Hillary keeps praising him. All the while he isn't having to spend a dime or a minute on the campaign trail.
