Can we some way use Clinton's praise for McCain against her?
especially the stuff about she and McCain being experienced to be president while Obama only has a speech. Can't we use that? in an ad and say: "There she goes again. In lock step with John McCain who wants to keep us in Iraq for 100 years ago. Like her good friend McCain she voted to send our troops to Iraq. Barack Obama opposed this from the beginning. Do you want an echo or a real choice in November? Vote for Barack Obama."

1. Keith Olbermann is already on it
I just finished watching Countdown. He suggested that she is becoming the next Joe Lieberman, more Republican than Democrat. He also said asked if her goal was to become vice president on the McCain ticket. KO found her statements both odd and offensive.

I think we can also go after the experience thing. She keeps saying that she and McCain have the EXPERIENCE to be commander-in-chief. Her experience is as first lady. McCain has FAR more time in government than she has so in essence she is saying vote for him!!!

These tactics are so very short-sighted and self-serving. I'm very concerned she's going to take the whole party down with her incredible ego trip. :(

2. Why isn't Howard Dean telling her to STFU?
The Repubs will use her soundbites in their campaign.

3. Like when they use Lieberman to call something bi-partisan
Now we have a wolf in sheep's clothing doing the same for them in the election. Does she want to give the election to JMac? Does she want to undermine Obama's chances so she can run in 2012? This has been brought up today, and I'm beginning to think anything's possible.

5. Saying if you like McCain, I'm younger and have better hair?
Flanked by AA's in MS, she varied the 'Obama has a speech' with 'ask Obama.'

8. media knows this should be over
they are clearly now taking clintons side and talking about come back over and over to keep it going to keep their record profits from it all up.

it was nice while it lasted them helping obama but now is a huge test in a way for him to see if he can win without the media behind him...i am beginning to think the media is the one who picks for us since they can control the stories, its not fair...ugh...

after i heard about mccain having the press for a spa weekend and bbq at his place in sedona and then i read story about obama blaming the media for his loss (probably a lie) then i think what can he do to get back on their good side...
