1. The Clinton camp first tried the plagiarism thing, and no one speaks of it

at all now, and the "bitter" thing is going to experience similar eclipse.

The hack media whipped the dead horse as hard as it could, but the damn thing wouldn't get up.

24. Reverend Wright was

Flogged by the m$$$$$m and hilary until the rafters shook and that too went the way of Xeroxgate.

I read bittagate was suppose to be held back until after the debate but hilary needed WMDistraction Immediately if not Sooner so they released it only a week later than the actual event. Oh well, Obama has a chance to confront it At The Debate instead of getting blind sided Afterwards.

30. Hi, zidzi. Yes. A lot is going to unfold here in the next few days, I think.

It's going to be interesting.

Ultimately I think Sen. Obama is very well-positioned to be our next president.

2. She just doesn't get it yet.

Going negative doesn't work for her, it works against her.

[caledesi]

[LSparkle]

4. Ooh, she's NOT going to be in a good mood tomorrow night ...

I'll be interested in how desperate she gets in the debate. She's
already thrown the kitchen sink and the toilet at him -- what's left?

:scared:

[tokenlib]

16. A bidet???

Or would that be elitist??

[symbolman]

19. a Dildo?

Her old Friend...ooh, that's not nice.. Prolly go to Hell for that, but she HAS been trying to screw him the whole time.. :)

[virgdem]

17. At this point, after all else has failed...

she will then attempt to throw the entire house at him, along with the yard and garage. And it will be a doozy, you can bet on that. Tomorrow night will be very interesting.

[Raine]

32. She better becareful that house

she throws might just land on her.

Talk about counterpunching.. She has now allowed BO and his campaign to go all out and hit her where it hurts.

:woohoo:

[GarbagemanLB]

Terrific ad.

[Adelante]

[scheming daemons]

11. I wonder if Hillary's ass has a bruise from being smacked by a boomerang so many times...

15. Check this out, from the Washington Post article linked from slate:

Looking for any possible edge, the Clinton campaign has pressed uncommitted superdelegates to view Obama's remarks as a major debacle that could harm him in November. But as of yesterday evening, there was little evidence that the electability argument is resonating.

Rep. Mike Doyle (D), an undecided superdelegate who represents Pittsburgh and surrounding towns in the Monongahela Valley, said yesterday that he was not particularly troubled by Obama's comments.

"I don't disagree with a lot of what he said. My dad was a mill worker. My grandfather was a steel mill worker, and when the steel industry collapsed, nobody's family was hurt more than mine," Doyle said. "It's not inaccurate to say a lot of politicians have come through these towns, made a lot of promises and failed to deliver. I thought he was spot-on when he said how people feel."

He added that Obama's unexpected endorsement yesterday by Pittsburgh Steelers owner Dan Rooney "carries a hell of a lot more weight" than the blowup over his comments about small-town residents.

Rep. David E. Price, an uncommitted Democrat from North Carolina, which holds its primary May 6, said his frustrations are with Clinton, for the potential damage she has inflicted.

"Senator Obama could have chosen better words, but it seems to me that he's stating the obvious," Price said. "People are feeling a great deal of economic stress, anxiety, and there is a certain amount of anger out there. . . . I think it's most unfortunate that opponents simply pounce, particularly opponents in his own party."

18. So is she borrowing money to run the new ad?

Last i saw she was spending more money than she was bringing in.

[Raine]

31. Wonder if she ever paid her debt to those small

business owners like the ones that make banners etc.

[Warren DeMontague]

21. Hillary just wants to demonstrate her committment to bringing manufacturing jobs back to PA...

by making a big show of manufacturing phony outrage.

[Adelante]

25. I wonder if that can be recycled

She's getting a lot of free media coverage out of it.

[uponit7771]

23. Cant wait for the debate tommorrow

[Adelante]

26. This is rich

Maybe that's why the Clinton team is still pushing its claim that a loss in Pennsylvania would be a "significant defeat" for Obama—despite the fact that it's been handicapped in favor of Clinton just about forever. And now, after the "bitter" flap, no one expects him to win. Ironic, eh?

[RememberWellstone]

28. It's not flammable, it's a millstone

that is tied around his campaign. He will have to carry it the rest of the way. People heard what he said, they know exactly what he meant. The same thing with Wright, it is becoming more clear on who this guy really is.

[cliffordu]

35. Sorry. Wrong. bad intel.

too bad.

[Roxy66]

34. I'm so bummed...I have to work late tommorrow....go DVR
