Polls - Look for a surge toward Obama
The word is out that Hillary needs to drop to more than just us political nuts here. I have heard a few people mention this now that are not news hounds and it's only a matter of time. Today Hillary is on the front page of both CNN and MSNBC with her sniper gaffe, she has nowhere to go but down. Look for a shift in to polls showing this in upcoming days.

1. Clinton lies are finally catching up to them
and hopefully their supporters too.

6. So the head chicken(Hillary) is giving up then?
If she's going home to roost and all.

2. I can't imagine Americans would be affected
by a twelve year old memory of no consequence -- there's just nothing to it. I'm starting to wonder: is this all they have -- or better yet, want to put forth? A very good sign indeed.

Now aligning with a hate-filled mentor for twenty years? There's your story.

7. It was a blatant lie, not just a memory
"I don't recall" is a realistic 12 year old memory. "running under sniper fire with our heads down" is a flat out lie. Not hard to distinguish.

10. A couple old out-of-context quotes from his pastor are more important than her current lies?
Ok then.

11. It plays into the narrative. It has already been said that she would say or do anything to win,
Edited on Tue Mar-25-08 10:42 AM by Johnny__Motown
this seems to confirm it in no uncertain terms.

If it was an isolated event you would be right, no legs. It isn't an isolated event, it is the crowning jewel of falsehoods put forward by herself and her campaign.

14. She runs on experience, which ones? The real ones or the phoney ones?
I obviously disagree with you.

I don't feel this isabout a bad memory. It's about something deep inside her character. And it's not just about one telling of a trip to Bosnia.

If you read the history of the 4 or 5 times its been retold in this campaign it is getting more and more embellished. I'm not a psychologist and I can't explain why she's doing it but it seems that as she has become more and more pressed to catch-up this story has gotten more and more flamboyant.

This is not good. This is a wound that she has inflicted on herself and it hurts her argument of electability.

13. Her 4-Pinocchio Tuzla story was all over Olbermann and the rest of cable news last night.
Edited on Tue Mar-25-08 10:50 AM by backscatter712
Yeah, that definitely won't do much good for her...

17. I disagree.. Rev. Wright and Tuzlagate
The Rev. Wright issue could have been a game changer..But Obama addressed it square on and Richardson & Obama (with his other 2 speeches) helped it move on.

This also has the potential to be a game changer and we will have to see how HRC handles it.

18. She's shown how she can handle it
and it's terrible. She accepts zero accountability and downplays it. She could take a lesson from Obama and try addressing it head on, it would better serve her.
