Clinton takes high road in Iowa.
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1107/6815.html
Jefferson Jackson a warm-up for Iowa
Clinton made no mention of her critics directly. “I am not interested in attacking my opponents,” she said.“I am interested in attacking the problems of America.”

1. "I am interested in attacking the problems of America..."
I love it when Hillary takes such a controversial position. And so specific! NOT!

2. What do you mean? She never does that!!
IWR, immigration, SS, Kyle/Lieberman, Plan B, "lobbyists represent real people"

None of those were controversial

3. She doesn't have to "attack" her opponents
She's in the lead. It's not a particular virtue on her part.

4. she can't win an actual confrontation with her opponents
because he candidacy is a sham hoax and power grab.

she has no convictions, so she can't be face to face with those who do.

she best stay on whatever road keeps her out of the ring.

5. Which candidate DID make mention of their critics directly?
Edited on Sun Nov-11-07 10:14 PM by jenmito
Hillary took Obama's claim of being the candidate of change and took him on without mentioning his name by saying, "Change is only a WORD if it can't be backed up with strength and experience." (paraphrase)

6. In other words, she's learned the lesson of Gepherdt-Dean...
And opted to not get into a fight with the likes of Edwards (and possibly others, eventually).
