So I wonder what political fall-out Clinton's latest attack will have? |
|
Since they're not denying the charge that campaign staffers circulated the photo to Drudge, and assuming it's true... I wonder what political fall-out HRC will face as a result. I would imagine some of her supporters, that want to save a little of their own face will pull back. But I also wonder what leaders that are uncommitted will step up now and condemn her campaigns action (again, if proven to be true) - and even as much share their endorsing support of Obama.
This attempt at hate & fear mongering cannot bode well for Clinton. What in the heck are they thinking over there?

2. The rumor of the photo is worse than the actual photo. |
|
Obama looks like a tourist in the actual pic.

It is much better that the Clinton camp outed the pic before the repubs had a chance in the GE. But now that the Obama camp has gotten their panties in a wad about it, you can bet it will come out in full force during the GE.

6. Is this gossip, or did the Clinton campaign strategically release the photo?? |

"damaging revelations"--"can you imagine what the Republicans would say if they got hold of this?" Basically, trying to make us too afraid to nominate the black guy.

26. Nope. Just like with SC, she's betting that Democrats are afraid everyone else is. |
|
And just like with SC, it'll blow up in her face. Again.

18. I thought you knew the answer, from what you'd posted... |
|
My guess on why they would do it is to create doubts about him, of course. After Hillary's behavior this weekend, seems as if they're willing to throw anything that might stick.

23. It makes no sense at all that a Clinton person would push this photo. |
|
It's either a lie, or a set-up.

15. Now it is. Still absolutely no proof that the Obama Camp's photo came from anyone but them. |

13. Is she can't win, then no one can! |

Hillary will rather see the Democrats go down in defeat in November than to see anyone other than herself as the nominee.
Now even the most gullible knows that Hillary's tears were shed on cue, not out of emotion. What a sociopath!

As far as her campaign, I don't know what they're thinking. It doesn't seem like they're thinking at all.
