Clinton camp: “We have run a substantially positive campaign"

[sabra]

<snip>

- when it’s pointed out that Clinton’s campaign has done exactly the same thing that they’re accusing Obama’s campaign of doing, Penn insists that their attacks have been in response to Obama attacking first. “We have run a substantially positive campaign and we’ve raised serious and big questions about whether or not and who is really best able to be commander in chief, who is best able to manage the economy, who has the right kind of plan for universal health care. They have decided to go consistently, and as I read through the list of kinds of comments, personally negative repeatedly throughout this campaing, and that is a big difference.”

-Penn makes the argument that Obama’s bigger margins of victory against John McCain in some state polls have now evaporated. Would have to check to see if that’s borne out in the data. “he had a lead against McCain, that lead against McCain vs us that has already disappeared in a very short order period of time, and we believe that will continue, we’ll continue to change, so she will be seen clearly as the most electable Democrat going forward.”

-Asked whether the divisiveness in the primary would cost Clinton in November, especially among Obama’s base, Penn points to exit polls showing that African American voters would still vote for her in the general election. Also says they’ve seen an uptick in White Men and Republicans in her column in the last three elections, argue that Obama’s base is eroding as they raise national security questions.

-on MI and Fl, Singer asks why the Obama campaign is dragging its feet in supporting a revote. He refused to answer his own question, but said it looks like they’re doing it to disenfranchise voters for their own political gain. “There’s no good reason I can think of that they wouldn’t support a revote. it’s important we don’t give the Republicans an issue to use against us. Being slow to embrace, half hearted in their efforts to embrace a redo to ensure the people of Michigan and Florida are given a voice in this process, that is exactly what they’re doing.”

1. what was the kitchen sink in response to?

[Rosa Luxemburg]

13. if a candidate can't run on his/her issues then they aren't worth it

Hillary Clinton has repatedly shown that she can't run on the issues alone and she has had to reort to dirty tactics. This kind of candidate is not worth having.

[GarbagemanLB]

2. and this is why I will be voting third party if she steals the election. When she surrounds herself

with lying scumbags like this, I can only imagine who she'd put in important positions in the Executive branch.

[Kittycat]

28. That stinks a bit of *, doesn't it?

Scary.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

[tabasco]

11. LMAO! The filthy, rotten "kitchen sink strategy" is as negative as can be!

Lies are all part of the package.

They lost the election on the issues, now the Clinton campaign has jumped into the gutter to throw filth.

[TheZug]

12. It depends on what the definition of "is" is.

[backwoodsbob]

22. i HATE IT BUT....

I'll reregister as an independent if HRC wins the primary.

The lies and guttercrap are enough.I've had it.HRC will destroy the party to win the primary but lose the GE.I dont get it.WHY would she do this?

[DJ13]

[Adams Wulff]

17. Reminds me of Pat Bowlen discussing the Bronco's uniforms...

...Saying they were "predominantly orange".

[Liberal Veteran]

18. Is this opposite day?

If so, I totally agree with what that wonderful person Senate Clinton has to say.

[cali]

19. Orwellian rhetoric from Pig Penn and the kitchen sink campaign n/t

[Vinca]

20. . . . as far as we know. nt

[apocalypsehow]

21. Clinton camp: "We rehearse these lies in front of a mirror until we can keep a straight face."

:sarcasm:

They've. Got. To. Be. Kidding.

[BlueIdaho]

25. Respectfully...

The Clintons will do anything and say anything to get back in the White House. They don't care who they have to hurt or what lies have to be told to reach their ultimate goal. Their motto is "by any means necessary." Finally, HRC wouldn't know the truth if it bit her on the ass.

Reminds me a bit too much of the current resident.

[BumRushDaShow]

26. Wow. Another DUzy Nominee!

:rofl:

[Umbram]

32. Agreed. (nt)

[Drachasor]

40. Error (deleted)

[City Lights]

27. So says the "say anything, do anything" camp.

It's not even funny anymore. They really suck.

[Faygo Kid]

29. Would be funny if it wasn't so pathetic.

She certainly learned a great deal from Karl Rove.

[IrishBloodEngHeart]

[Cha]

36. If you take out "substantially" and "positive"

and add "Lying"..you've got hilary's campaign in a her very nutty shell.

[Major Hogwash]

38. Hee-haw, hee-haw, the jackass talks - Penn sez "we're the nice ones" hee-haw, hee-haw

Penn must be getting his talking points from McCain's campaign manager.

Oh, I forgot they work together.

[donheld]

39. The Clinton camp wouldn't know the truth if it bit them in the ass.

If she lies this much now, just imagine the lies once she got elected.

[Drachasor]

41. To the Hillary Supporters: How do you justify Hillary doing nothing to stop these people?

They are making her campaign into a joke and she does nothing!

[stray cat]

42. Positive about McCain maybe?
