Why Doesn't Obama Talk About The 50 State Strategy & Go After Clinton For Ignoring So Many States?
Edited on Thu Feb-21-08 06:24 PM by cryingshame
It seems to me that Howard Dean and Obama have brought the Democratic Party into the 21st century as a national party viable in all 50 states.

The Clintons and their 17 State Strategy which marginalizes voters and weakens the Democratic Party seem ripe for criticism.

3. No. That's a distraction. Stick with his message. Move into a new century of politics.

5. That's a good point.
He should bring it up, but only his own strategy, and let people infer.

That keeps it positive.

8. NO!!! that would be pouring salt in the wound
It is obvious to all what a disaster her campaign has been, Obama has too much class, and to much to lose, to rub her nose in it.

9. No, whatever Clinton is doing it;s working in Obama's favor so far
He shouldn't mention it and let it happen.

Besides, the 50-state strategy is an internal DNC thing and most people have no clue what it is.

10. It's probably a little too "inside baseball" for a large audience. DUers really
follow that kind of thing, but it'd be wasted on millions of viewers, IMO.

11. because he is ahead he will only counter punch he will not initiate an
attack on Hillary - that will actually give her standing. Tonight he will launch attacks on McCain and respond to any brought on by Hillar. In fact there are a number of attacks they hope she will initiate so they can swat away.
