Clinton had to raise the stakes by raising the bar: It’s Tuesday or bust.
And along with victimhood, Clinton has finally found a powerful theme, the same theme that George W. Bush used at his convention and in his reelection campaign in 2004: Vote for me or die.
With her “3 a.m. phone call†ad, she is saying exactly what Bush said: I will protect you and your children, and the other guy will not.
Yes, there is irony in a Democrat trying to getting the nomination by adopting a Republican tactic, but, hey, you know what? It worked back then, and Clinton is betting it will work now.
And you know this because?
It's fairly typical of HillaryBots, I find, that they beasically make things up. Here, you claim to know exactly why Edwards distanced himself from his vote - because you can read minds or took part in the meeting where this was discussed, presumably. Thing is, you can't and you weren't, and there's no prior pattern of behavior establishing a case for your claims. That's what I mean when I say you're libelous, Wallner.
Next, re: constituents, again, bullshit. New York is one of the strongest anti-war states in the union, with over 70% opposition in a poll several months ago. An elected official who serves the less than 30% over the more than 70% deserves to be fired, not promoted.
Re: the netroots left. Two things: Americans oppose this war 2:1, so guess where the center - the one you always rail about when it comes to "DLCer" Edwards - really is on this? Next, if you hate the 'nutroots' so much, why are you here?
Find a hobby, Wallner, preferably one that doesn't include publicly slandering netroots candidates. Because that's not going to win you any love with the netroots themselves, of which this blog considers itself a part.
