When Obama gets the nod
The Hillary campaign has attacked Obama with negative personal ads and she with her "bitter" comments, etc... and her poll numbers are dropping like a stone as a result.
Maybe, just maybe, people are sick of this shit when they cannot afford gas, mortgage, or healthcare and they are paying for endless war.

The pundits say Obama will get a steady diet of it from the McCrazy campaign.
These techniques might backfire on them big time.

What do you think?

2. PA thought
I live in Pennsylvania . Needless to say the Clinton/Obama topic is hot right now here.
Most of the Obama supports I know continue to support him. The "strong"Clinton supporters support her.
Several were Clinton supporter and are now on the fence. They live her "experience" but don't like her tactics.

5. I think it only backfired for Hillary b/c we're all Dems.
Rethugs will love to roll in the mud like the fucking pigs they are. Obama has to fight them more aggressively when they attack, so they stay deflated and sad and most importantly AT HOME in November.
Wedge issues need to be kept off the ballot, 527 attacks need to be countered, and the cons need to think they're not represented in this race.

Meanwhile, we should throw money and air time at that atrocious asshole Bob Barr. He polled among cons at 7%, he can lock up the Republican Traitor vote and guarantee a McCain loss.

6. I doubt it, but it would be nice if true
Negative campaigning works, in good times and bad, in every election we've had for years. I would be pleasantly surprised if our nominee didn't have to face that kind of campaign in Nov, but I am not counting on it.
