Yeah, let's give Obama more free airtime of him speaking---- his strongest, most persuasive aspect as a candidate. Because the other campaign says he gives the impression he wrote the words himself. Oh, and bonus, thinks the term "plagarism" is something that will resonate with the electorate.
It's WAY too late to try going negative. Don't you people realize how petty and desperate this makes you look?

1. if you can't climb up the ladder to meet your opponent |
|
chop the legs of the ladder down and bring him to your level.
It's a smart strategy on Hillary's part. Then again, what else can she do?

2. Any press is good press....especially if the attack is a softball like this. |
|
Obama gets lots of free airtime over an issue that the public doesn't care about.

3. One of Obama's biggest strengths is that negative attacks on him simply reflect poorly on the attack |

6. They are not stupid and they are not amatuers |
|
It can only mean that their internal polls are telling them that there has been a big change in Wisconsin and they had to come up with anything to get the press and everybody else off message. This is like watching a basketball team behind 7 points and 15 seconds fouling the star of the other team. Yes it looks stupid but it is the only thing left before a disasterous ending.

12. that's how his voters who are under 30 got through school... plagiarism |
|
plagiarism is on the resume of many young people living in a dot.com world... it is no big deal to them and they will probably like him even more...
but to say he is the candidate of change and fresh ideas is BS
BO stinks!!!

"BO stinks" is the sort of intelligent commentary this site has becaome known for in the political arena in the last throes of the Clinton campaign.

16. Plagarism KOed Biden last time he ran (in '88 (?)) It resonated with enough people then. |

so this is the new strategy then? Find something in the 11th hour that will cause the collapse opf Obama's entire campaign?
The fantasy the new campaign staff is indulging in is just mind-boggling

19. haha, CNN just OWNED Clinton on this issue. |

Edited on Mon Feb-18-08 04:07 PM by Drunken Irishman
Showing how petty her campaign is and then ended it by showing two clips of Clinton using Obama's lines.
This is going to backfire big time.

This is kind of dangerous and could be fatal in some occupations :shrug:
