The Canadian Gambit was a brilliant move by the Clinton campaign

Ohio was the MUST win for her, NAFTA was killing her, the Canadians decided to play along either with their con partners in the US or with a Clinton point person.

She needed to neutralize Obama on NAFTA and this was a perfect ploy to swing Ohio.

Brilliant!!

ps - if you doubt it was a set-up ask yourself why in the world would something this unusual take place on a such a critical issue?

17. She was helped by the brilliant Obama campaign with his surrogate's memo.
Thanks again dumb dumb.

Then the Canadian press doing their thing.

Hillary was probably the last to hear about it.

6. Pearl Harbor was a 'brilliant move' for the Japanese, but it hurt everyone
in the long run.

Hillary needs to understand that there is more at stake than her desire.

:shrug:

peace~

15. I'm obviously not a Clinton supporter
And if this was a brilliant strategy as the OP implied, then it could not have been leaked without the collusion of the government.

20. No they didn't deny it. They said they were not interfering in our election.
Edited on Tue Mar-04-08 11:01 PM by anamandujano
They were defending themselves.

I read somewhere that there were approx 1300 copies of that memo.

edit to add--if you hadn't noticed that Armstead was on your team, all I can say is yikes!

13. The Conservative Canadian govt is known to have deep ties to the
conservatives in this country. These are the people that Bill and Hillary have been courting in their middle way for years. The timing of all this is simply too curious. I believe this is why Hillary is intent in staying in this until the death of the party; she is not shy about using these tactics.

18. If the OP isn't, I am. She conspired with a foreign power to influence our elections.
Find anything disturbing about that?

21. No it was one of the few blunders by Obama
He should dump his economic adviser if he is going to pull these kind of stunts.
