No. He's smart. He's ahead, and he will likely be the nominee. He doesn't want to alienate Hillary's devoted base too much, so he is not pushing bullshit stories like Bosnia, like he could (could you imagine an Obama ad ripping Hillary apart for that lie? It is too easy).

Like he said earlier today in NC, he is restraining himself, because she is a fellow Democrat and he knows it only further weakens the party if he goes on an all out attack.


And for you Hillary supporters, let me ask you this: Say the 5% chance Hillary becomes the nominee actually comes to pass. Do you really think harping consistently on this 'bitter' gaffe, her leaping onto the ABC host's attacks on Wright, Ayers, bitter, etc. are beneficial in healing the wounds? She is giving more and more excuses to Obama's devoted followers to NOT support her if she becomes the nominee.

THAT is why the polls are going down for her and THAT is why people are booing her for this 'bitter' bullshit. It is ONLY detrimental to the party.

Thankfully, Dean sees this and came out today to request that SDs start voicing their choices starting now. This needs to have an endpoint in the near future.
