Even Evan Bayh (Clinton supporter) sees that Clinton is acting like a Republican.
http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/04/12/882042.aspx
Clinton was joined at today's event by Bayh, who spoke with reporters briefly after the speech. He said he didn't believe Obama was an elitist, but that his remarks could be misinterpreted that way and that Republicans would use them against him. "I think it's a real potential political problem and it's something for superdelegates and voters to think about," Bayh said. "The far right wing has a very good track record of using things like this relentlessly against our candidates, whether it's Al Gore or John Kerry and I'm afraid this is the kind of fodder they might use to really uh, to uh to harm him with."

---------------------------------
this was after a speech in this morning in which Hillary continued to attack Obama even using some of the words from McCains statement last night.

2. It's pretty frightening to see what's happened to her.
She's done a complete 180-turn.

5. Sad what has become of her and BC. They are all about power for power's sake.

8. It's an excellent example of how D.C. corrupts.
And, I have to admit, that part of it may be that we were a bit fooled by them before. That's not entirely it, but seeds of this must have been there all along.

10. Jinx!
We were typing the same thing at the same time.

That may very well be true - and it makes me even sadder than the idea that she's just been corrupted by power and the atmosphere of D.C. To think how we were collectively fooled and misled - we really need to wake up and pay a little more attention if that's the case. The Clintons' claim of a vast right-wing conspiracy was an excellent cover - they knew we'd fall for it and back them if they blamed the GOP. We were played.

3. The reality is Obama didn't really say anything that he didn't already voice . . .

9. Bayh says superdelegates should have second thoughts about Obama
after his stupid remarks.

"The far right wing has a very good track record of using things like this relentlessly against our candidates, whether it's Al Gore or John Kerry and I'm afraid this is the kind of fodder they might use to really uh, to uh to harm him with."

12. Yeah, and if Hillary wins the nom, you think it won't be months of Snipergate, Nafta flip-flopping,
Wal-Mart board, blue dresses, IWR, and every single manufactured from the 90's in our face every single day?

Don't make me laugh.
