I think Hillary is getting away with her rovian tactics because her base doesn't use the Internet
much, and they may not even have cable so they can't watch shows like KO, etc. All they hear is a quick run down of the latest soundbytes on their local nightly news, and I'd imagine HRC's shrill comments and accusations get more airtime because they are negative.

1. you mean, the uneducated, the poor, and the computer illiterates?
plus MSM LOVES a dispute. They ignore Wolfson's crap and play up Obama's aide's accurate statement.

2. They sure know how to open those Muslim smear emails, though.
I hear it from them all the time. Old white people who won't vote for Barack because he got sworn in on the Koran and refuses to say the Pledge. :eyes:

That's her base, right there. I'll take being a "koolaid cult kid" any day over that.

4. Or maybe the insane Hillary hatred and Obama worship on the net is driving them away.
It's certainly driven me from a few sites. And I'm sure those that do make it to a computer really enjoy being called uneducated, stupid, illiterate and racist. Because we all know that's the only type of person who would dare support Clinton...

Actually, the unfairness and hysteria that reigns in Leftistan makes me seriously doubt its worth. There are a few calm reasoned supporters of Obama that you can find on the web if you look hard enough, but it's like looking for a needle in a haystack.

10. And why doesn't Obama's campaign set the record straight by controlling the message?
I'll agree, her base are not well informed about politics, her campaign, or her actual record.

It's Obama's job to counter that.

13. power apologized. form talking point of board obama word he would fire.... regardless
how many times i told the hillary suporters that it was not tolerate did not = fire, they (like rovian repub ignored ) and flooded with he said fire.... messaging a lie until it became a truth.

yes it would be grand for obama to get up and say.... yada yada

but there is responsiblity in that kind of dirty politics. BUT... hilary supports say this dirty politics are good..... as did bush republicans.

15. She seems to be courting the Archie Bunker demographic...
With her 3AM ad (which on top of blackening Obama's skin, also implies subconsciously "At 3AM, do you want a Negro watching your child?"), her husband's race-baiting in S. Carolina, her leaking of that picture of Obama in Kenyan garb, etc., she's doing the wink-wink in the language that closeted bigots speak.
