Updated: Obama surrogate comment, re: Hillary having "Democrats disease" [View All]

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

I posted this earlier, but since some folks wished for a transcript (which didn't exist), I took note of the precise language on the repeat.

Paul Hodes, NH congressman and Obama national co-chair, on HARDBALL, describing Clinton's message, versus Obama's:

Hillary Clinton has what I sometimes call "Democrats disease," a litany of issues and something to fight against.

Added On Edit: I am a long time critic of the boring-ass wonky, uninspiring Dem approach, but this is hardly the time and place to run against the Democratic Party. Talking about what a drag the Democrats are will garner lots of independent support, but at what cost? Dems are not the problem. The only thing wrong with the Dems is that we haven't done a good job of fighting the Republicans, who are the real enemy. And Senator Obama takes every opportunity to promise to fight the Republicans even LESS, which I would have thought impossible.
