So which repugnant Rovian tactic HASN'T she used...?
Edited on Tue Apr-22-08 06:00 PM by DeadElephant_ORG

Whipping up fear

  • Ads with Osama bin Laden.
  • “Obliterate” Iran.
  • The “3-am” white house phone call.

    Breaking the process

  • Pledged delegates are free to vote for whomever they wish.
  • Invalid Florida and Michigan votes must be counted… after all.
  • Little state votes don’t count as much as votes in “big states”.

    Personal attacks

  • Gore and Kerry were “elitist”.
  • Change you can photocopy.

    Truthiness

  • “Sniper fire”
  • “Banded duck” hunting.
  • My supporters have been “intimidated”.

    The race card

  • Raising “Farrakhan” (the ultimate scary black man) in the debate.
  • I would have left Reverend Wright’s church.

    Bottom line:      ”I know Senator McCain will bring a lifetime of experience to the White House.”

    2. she has not bugged her own office, then claim he did it.
    Although three clinton offices have been trashed, and they tried to spread rumors that it was someone from the opposition.

    8. She hasn't accused him of pedophilia..... yet.
    Also, she hasn't held a last minute press conference before a debate to announce that a bug, from the Obama campaign was planted in her office.

    Oh, also, she hasn't accused him fathering a black child. :o

    9. The bad part is the media will NOT let her use those tactics if she is handed the nom.
    Those who think that her use of Rovian tactics proves she can "stay in the kitchen" and beat McCain are delusional.

    Sure, the GOP owned media lets her HELP THEM by using Rove's tactics against the DEM, but if she thinks they will continue let her use those tactics on a Republican, she is sorely mistaken.

    For instance, could you imagine the media allowing her to paint McCain as a racist or elitist, even though there is a much better argument that he is, as opposed to Obama?

    This is a huge factor as to her tactics that very few people are discussing...

    Note to Hillary and her surrogates- use Rove's tactics while you can- that luxury will end soon enough, one way or the other.

    14. I don't know what to think about the...
    Clinton media driven campaign. Perhaps the Clinton name is so polarizing they think running against her is there only chance of winning?

    15. She hasn't yet sent a debate prep tape to Obama's campaign in an attempt to "gotcha" him for theft..

    ....like Rove did with Gore.

    16. She hasn't ...
    ... rolled out SDs in dribs and drabs in order to create the appearance of momentum and a ground-swell of support. (One of the tactics Rove explicitly recommended, mostly for the national convention but applicable in PA, as well.)
