No matter how much the MSM helps Hillary, the "elitist" label won't stick |
|
Obama isn't like Gore or Kerry, in that he is personable and has great charisma. As a result, false labels (like elitist) will not stick to him. Hillary is going to find this scheme of hers is going to blow up on her. She is going to turn all liberals off with her right wing attacks on them. She is going to piss off Democrats who don't appreciate her putting her personal ambitions ahead of the good of the party. Finally she is going to come off as a shrew who attacks others in an unseemly and underhanded manner. In the end, she is destroying her campaign (and career) in this futile last ditch effort to sieze the nomination.

2. I was angry at her for some of her early stunts, then forgave her |
|
now I feel the same way about Hillary, as I do George W. Bush. Which makes sense, as they have behaved the same way.

3. I like your use of the word shrew: an ill-tempered scolding woman |

4. She created this impression when she decided that she would |
|
personally attack Obama. A skilled politician would have let others do the attacking. Then again the practice of Mole Hill politics can be difficult when most people already know you have lost the race.
