73. Kindly read my WHOLE reply.
She wouldn't be so much worried about pissing off MoveOn voters, but she WOULD be worried about these YouTube cycles showing the contrast between her '07 embrace of MoveOn and now tossing them under the bus. THAT is the main point. She doesn't want to look like even more of a liar than she does now. Credibility is biggest liability in this campaing right now. With this she has just inflated those negatives furhter. She also knows full well that MoveOn was started to help Bill with impeachment, which also makes her look so foolish in attacking them. And it's NOT just the MoveOn member voting member patterns, it is that she would not want EVEN MORE MoveOn members out there knocking on doors, making calls, and giving cash to Obama. Finally, she does not want to PISS OFF all the other (the vast majority by the way) of NON-MoveOners who voted for Obama in the caucuses by labeling them as "MoveOn activists." NO. Most Obama caucus-goers have been ordinary folks from all walks of life, of all ages, both genders, and all races and ethnicities. Any non-MoveOners who might be swayed by this are already with her. Remember, this is a PRIMARY. And if you think she is doing this in hope it will help her later, it is WAY to early to try to use this for the general election. Plus, in the general election, she would not want to PISS OFF 3 million voters and potential helpers. Just because they are with Obama now doesn't mean they wouldn't be with her if she won the nomination. No, she did not leak this. TOO RISKY !
