I hope Edwards and Clinton go negative on Obama in NH

[cali]

For one thing, it's good for him to have to deal with it. If he's nominee, he'll only benefit from the practice. Secondly, I think it will damage both Clinton and Edwards far more than Obama- and I'm into that.

Obama is a brilliant campaigner and he has an ability to deflect attacks, I believe.

So go for it, Clinton and Edwards. I'm sure Barack is ready for your best shot.

11. IF YOU think Obama has run a positive campaign...think again.

Hillary maintained the high road for -months- before finally answering some of the mud from Obama, Edwards,and THE MEDIA.
The media deck is stacked against Hillary,she has always drawn harsher scrutiny than Barack Obama OR Edwards.

See for example http://attacktimeline.com/ "..."She's been most definaltley held to a different standard all across the board. And when Obama went negaitive made the press happy and they NEVER called him on it!! It was always "HIllary ATTACKS Obama!!" "Obama ATTACTED BY CLINTON CAMP AGAIN!"

Halperin says: When she does it, it's treated as this huge violation of propriety." While Clinton's mistakes deserve full coverage, "the press's flaws -- wild swings, accentuating the negative -- are magnified 50 times when it comes to her. It's not a level playing field."

So when Obama attacked Hillary with the "Lite" label even though HE"S BEEN MORE PRO GOP and pro-Bush/Cheney appointee in senate voting.
Obama has been quietly running a dirty and hypocritical campaign for MANY months.

2. It's about time he started getting what he's been giving.

Mr. Untouchable has really been oversensitive over every perceived slight so far.
He needs to toughen up.

4. He can't debate worth a shit.

5. oh, he's done just fine.

get used to him continuing to do so.

6. you mean he can't debate full of shit...like your Queen

[laureloak]

7. I can't wait to see him stumble around in the next debate.

He's awful at thinking on his feet - probably because he doesn't know which side of the fence his feet are on.

8. As some significant pundits put it last night on Charlie Rose Show

The Media are in a swoon over Obama--in love with him.

You know how it is with teenagers and their crushes.

We have to hope that New Hampshirites are a little more clear headed.

Every campaign from here on out--will do what they have to do
to win. The Media especially TV Media will continue their
addlebrained clueless swooning.

9. My hunch is that something very damaging will come out about Obama, and it wont come from

the Clinton or Edwards camps, not directly, anyway.


btw, I agree that we should get a look at how he handles attacks, because if he is the nom, God forbid, there will be plenty of attacks to deal with. but even the mere suggestion that his record be looked at has been met with nothing but whining so far, so I really dont hold out a lot of hope for his abiiity to withstand a full on attack, be it now or with the repukes

10. Judging by the excitement today about Obama

(people are now saying he's in with a chance and they weren't going to vote for him and now they are). I think that he wil do elsewhere now. I hope he won't get shot.
