"Obama is unelectable."

This is the new lie the Clinton campaign is pushing. Notice they never talk up the benefits of Clinton, just that it is futile to support anyone but her.

It is such a pathetic negative type of campaign. They delight in the destruction of hope and want everyone to be part of their cynical, bitter worldview.

1. Clinton's "bathroom toilet strategy", where she throws shit on her opponent.
She's already covered in the stuff so covering him with the same dung makes her look better.

6. There was no call for that.
This kind of comment is driving the level of vitriol in this forum up exponentially on a daily basis. It isn't helping anyone. It's certainly not going to persuade Clinton supporters to view Obama more favorably. It's not going to cause anyone who may actually still be undecided to go "Wow, hey that's a really powerful point! I will go off and vote for Obama now". So why? Why post it?

Is it really so much more difficult to formulate an objection to what is being done by the Clinton campaign that doesn't involve flinging profanity at the opposition candidate and their supporters in the most blatantly personally offensive manner?

7. I dare you to tell me when anyone in the Clinton camp said she was inevitable
the \"inevitable\" narrative was born out of nowhere, and it\'s repeated and repeated without base.

Any links?

8. The Katie Coric interview.
No I don't have a link at the moment.

But that's where it came from I think.

11. It was an ABC interview...

...with Stephanopolus. I found a transcript, and here's the part you're talking about.

"So from my perspective, you get up every day and you get out there and you make your case and you reach as many people as possible. That's what I intend to do, so I'm in it for the long run. It's not a very long run. It'll be over by February 5th.”
