Dems Clash With Time to SparePosted on Mar 11, 2008The Pennsylvania primary isn’t until April 22, and the campaign has already gotten nasty. There have been so many dust-ups between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama in the last couple of days, it’s almost hard to keep track. With weeks to go and no sign of a cease-fire, one wonders if they aren’t doing irreparable harm to one another. The answer is probably no. At the end of the day, Americans want to get out of Iraq and stay in their homes, and John McCain’s policies on either front make him a nonstarter. Unless there’s a national security scare, either Democrat has an advantage over McCain. A few weeks of sparring could obliterate the giddiness a lot of Democrats feel about their candidates. Supporters of either Clinton or Obama could start to think of the other Democratic candidate as the enemy, as opposed to a happy second choice. While the Democratic Party tries to hold itself together, the candidates have been fighting about this, that and the other thing.

Trying to make me believe that the same people that have helped screw this country up are now going to be the ones that fix it is more than I can take. Here’s nurse Ratchet now with my medication and not a moment too soon. Please start the music and give me a chaser to wash down those “hope” and “experience” pills. Make it a double.
By Monte Asbury, March 12 at 10:44 am # “Candidates fighting” is a mis-characterization. Your “this, that and the other” - all three - are fights picked by Clinton using distortions that Obama must correct. This is not about two candidates going after each other. It’s about Clinton lying over and over and rarely getting called on it. One wonders if she is ethically qualified for the position she seeks.
By writeon, March 12 at 1:13 am # The Party's Over?What would be truly bizarre and tragic, historically tragic, would be the Democrat’s handing the election to the Republicans, roll on President Mcain! There are almost three parties or factions involved in the race now. Clinton and Mcain, and Obama on the other side. Clinto seems closer to Mcain than she does to Obama. Is she prepared to undermine Obama so badly that even if he wins the nomintion he will have been severely weakened in the real struggle with Mcain? Is Clinton threatening support me, or you get Mcain? Surely this would be a truly monsterous strategy on her part, and would she really stoop so low? Add Your Comment |
