HILLARY's "ME-TOO!" COPY-CAT STRATEGY is not missed by the media!
In yesterday's LATimes, A14, "On This Tuesday, Obama's Nomination Appears Nearer," note is made of Hillary's attempts to ride on Obama's coat-tails, following his moves in her desperate home to remain relevant:

"Today, she plans to campaign in Florida, a trip she scheduled after Obama announced his intention to spend the next three days in the Sunshine State."

It's easy to believe that the media is blind to Hillary's machinations, either intentionally or unintentionally, but it isn't true. If the LATimes noticed it, other media outlets did, as well.

Hillary's "me too!" strategy is embarassing to watch. She insists on remaining in the race, but she is simply unable to compete on her own.

If she gained the Oval Office, who would be the leader she would use as her "me too!" model? And what kind of a leader would she make when she cannot run in the primary on her own merits?

She bounces back and forth between truly pathetic and being a rotten person.

4. Seems like that is an ever dwindling handful, the majority of DUers have long since
figured her out.

I am talking about Obama supporters who can't seem to ignore her stupidity.

13. What's the point of posting on a message board, if you can't vent your anger over the issues?
Hillary has mastered the art of pissing people off (not unlike what her husband could do with republicans). So you have plenty of anger and frustration that needs to be released. Is it really any different than the rants against Bush or Delay or Newt?

2. She is not a leader. She is a follower. A stalker, really. nt

7. I think I say this every day but if she had led on the IWR instead of
following, she would have the nomination right now.

Why wasn't Howard Dean our nominee in 2004?

6. If I Saw My Opponent Suddenly Spending Three Days in a State Whose Delegates May Be Up For Grabs
Edited on Thu May-22-08 09:22 AM by Crisco
Even though the majority of them would have been mine if the previous vote had not been publicized as 'informal,' you can bet your ass I'd be down there.

I get tired of seeing Hillary Clinton get compared to the greatest pestilences known to man, for the crime of being competitive.

8. She's trying to keep herself relevant...
...and the only way she can do this is by following Obama around yelling, "Me too!" (as you said).

I think Obama is doing a good job of ignoring her, and not getting ensnared in her drama. He's
not engaging with her. He's focused on McCain.

Her latest PR spectacle about turning up the volume and trying to get Obama to comment, so she
can be relevant again.

She reminds me of that psycho Alex in "Fatal Attraction."

"I will not be IGNORED, Dan!"

12. Yes We Can/Yes We Will
was really over the top. Her desperation and lack of originality on that one was just pathetic. As is pretty much everything else she does. The Faux Noise crap & Lanny Davis is vomit inducing.
