Is Hillary using GOP tactics?

[whosinpower]

Some here may think so. The Rev. Wright issue, Bittergate, whisper campaigns of Obama's heritage, photo's of him in traditional muslim attire - the list goes on and on and on.

I am not going to say that the Clinton's are behind all these. But Hillary's numbers are looking bad, and I just read a post here explaining that there is no way she could gain the nomination with the number of states left to vote - so that begs the question - why keep trying?

And many here have thought she was going for a scorched earth approach - she would destroy Obama if she could not gain the nomination - and it appears she has gone to Rovian tactics.

I am going to pose another consideration. And am sure to get flamed for this.....but perhaps she knows she is not going to win - and what she throws at him NOW, before the presidential election will give Obama time to hone his skills to better battle those fights. What if she is purposefully doing this, not to destroy him, but to make him better, stronger, even more eloquent - and that helps create on of the best presidential hopefuls of our time. Isn't it better to get it out now, deal with it and move on?

At every turn, he fights back in a way that befuddles her - and in turn - GOP tactics. Something to think about. And something else to consider - a presidential hopeful must be vetted by the electoral process. One thing about it - if he beats Hillary - he is far stronger for it. And THAT has to have the GOP worried.

1. You bet she is! Here's one p.o.v.:

And if you think Clinton is acting the way she is because of some sense of Democratic allegiance, think again. She's in it for herself and her boundless ambition. I don't think she cares if she damages the party, nevermind Obama.

2. Yes.

And the great thing about it is that she is only helping Obama. In standing in as McCain, Hillary is proving that Obama can handle any and all attacks the RW can throw at him.

He's so much smarter than her that he is making her look silly. Every time she tries to beat him down... he wins.

Its perfect. McCain doesnt stand a chance.

3. Worse than that. She's using Lee Atwater tactics. Hell, she's up to Joseph F. Stalin tactics now.
