10. I'm not complaining at all. |

In fact, I don't think he's doing enough. He really has to unload on them hard to do really well on Super Tuesday. He needs a good showing, because even a modest showing will cause the Clinton's to declare victory. He has to win California, for example. Even if Obama walks away with more delegates than Hillary, as he did in Nevada, they will still claim victory if they technically win more states.
What I am saying is that he should not let his negative attacks and counter-attacks against the Clinton's drown out his core message: Hope & Change. He should also add electability to that list. Hope, Change & Electability.
What he needs is to find a way to hit hard, and use the media to his advantage, but at the same time still seem like he is above the fray. If he plunges himself into the mud then he will only begin to cause undecideds to view him in a more negative light. He has to be careful.
It is a balance. His campaign should go on the offensive against the Clinton's. It's no longer even about defense, offense is what is important. His goal should be to completely blow them out of the race through blunt force of attacks, but those attacks should not come directly from his lips.
He should fight to have a counter voice - a supporter - on every station who has a Clinton supporter, just so he can ensure the Clinton's are properly trashed. No mercy and no remorse. It doesn't even have to be true at this point, because the Clinton's have already entered the realm of lies and distortions - he should have his campaign doing the same.
Every time they hit him, his campaign should hit back 20 times harder.
