Obama’s is on the Horns of a Dilemma: He must destroy Clinton to save his candidacy
Advertisements [?]

To restore the hope of his candidacy Obama must do what his is most loath to do – destroy a fellow democrat. But he must. Winning a few more states that "don't count" will not redress the harm to the chances of success a McCain that has been done by Hillary's destructive rhetoric. He must now treat her not as “a friend” as an enemy .

It realy is destroy or be destroyed.


If Hillary Clinton remains credible her daily validation of basic line of Republican attack – that the nation would be at grave risk with an Obama Presidency – will destroy his own general election viability. Hillary is doing to Obama exactly what the swift-boat liars did to John Kerry, but potentially with greater effect since she is a leader of Obama’s own party.

The claim by Hillary supporters that these attacks just “good vetting” is a lie. This vetting –by-smear does not compare in any way to attacks that the Enemy could launch because the critique of an enemy does not have the credibility of devastating “testimonial” from someone who professes to be “honored, so honored” to be your colleague and “friend.”

Hillary has broken what Gary Hart call the “final rule.” Obama must now either acquiesce to Hillary’s “gracious” offer of a V.P. role on her ticket, or begin a campaign to totally destroy her credibility with the American people.

Hillary has become a mortal enemy. The time is now to “let loose the dogs of war.”
