Axelrod wants to put the hammer on Hillary

[redstate_democrat]

I don't blame him. Daschle wants to be nice.

I say go with Axelrod.

She is gonna ramp up the nasty. He has to fight back.

[rug]

1. If he does, the mask will drop.

[KittyWampus]

13. mask? there's one candidate running who's been botoxed and surgically enhanced

it isn't Obama.

[rug]

15. Your fascination with plastic surgery aside, hope doesn't float in a toilet.

[TahitiNut]

22. Well, no wonder Hillary can't find it!

:eyes:

[anigbrowl]

23. Stylish.

[sandnsea]

2. It's time to take her out

They've let her get away with way too much shit. They need to be honest and fair, but it is definitely time to go after her.

[ErinBerin84]

3. I like Daschle

Did anyone see how Tim Russert said that today, they asked Obama about what he would consider a victory, and Obama said "I'm not going for some sort of moral victory. A win's a win." and David Axelrod was like "No! I disagree! It was supposed to be by 20 points!" Tim Russert said that the Obama knows that if he gets the nomination, he is going to have to earn the support of Hillary supporters, and is afraid of pissing them off.

and then KO said "So..Obama is like "After you, Senator Clinton. And Senator Clinton is like.."I can open the damn door myself!" lol

[GetTheRightVote]

4. Yes, it is long past time to correct Mrs. Nasty of her mean ways.

long past time....

[The_Casual_Observer]

5. The new politics of hope & change.

[KittyWampus]

14. Hope and change don't preclude defending oneself against assholes like the Clintons

[The_Casual_Observer]

16. Is that what kos is saying now?

[stillcool]

32. I think he's done a very good job..

of defending himself. Those quick response ads were fantastic. The Clinton's have run their entire campaign through the media, planting stories, telling lies, creating division, and manufacturing outrage. Obama has campaigned in state after state, racking up votes, and delegates, and he is winning. Why fix what ain't broke?

[Lisa0825]

6. There is nasty, and there is justified retribution.

I do not want negative campaigning, but answering Hill's attacks is completely justified, and answering them with a resounding SMACK is great... example: the Weather Underground SMACK on the last debate (Bill's pardons).

I want to see Barack hit back and HARD when he is hit, but I do NOT want to see unprovoked smears... that is Clinton style.

[IsItJustMe]

7. I would like to see some sniper fire commercials.

[Middle finga]

11. Her negagive campaigning had Barack on defense the entire

6 weeks leading up to the PA primary, he's got to turn the tables and put her on defense. He should have pushed the Bosnia story a little more but he didn't do it but she was quick to smack him across the head in the debate with Wright, Farrahkan and Hamas. You can't play nice. The Republican party is now gearing up to run negative racist adds against Barack in NC according to Tim Russert. Barack can't be on defense the rest of this campaign, he's got put Hillary and Mac on defense and if it means throwing a little mud so be it.

[merh]

8. as the pundits just said

mccain gets to campaign and score without anyone laying a finger on him.

[madrchsod]

9. do you have any link to that statement?

i`ve coached enough soccer games to know that if you are winning you do`t use the other teams tactics if they are losing.

[jillan]

10. I hope he does, because it will help Hillary.

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

12. Clinton has been going negative for months, and all she accomplished was to increase her negatives

There's no reason for Obama to go negative at this point. He has already effectively won the nomination. At this point he's just running out the clock.

[QC]

17. Isn't that Obama's decision?

The way your OP is worded, it would make one think that Obama is an empty suit being managed by consultants.

[Thepricebreaker]

18. Obama's appeal is he isnt the norm. Going nasty hurts "the polish"...

[jgraz]

21. The Polish? What do they have to do with it?

Don't forget Poland!!

[krkaufman]

19. Whatever is being decided, Daschle must not be listened to.

I hope Obama isn't taking much political advice from Daschle. Ugh.

[anonymous171]

20. Here high negatives would make it so every attack sticks to her.

But Obama still wants her voters.

[Catherina]

24. I say go with Axelrod too. Hillary's whole campaign boiled down to a "girl"

hitting a man in the nuts and then yelling "don't you dare hit me, you sexist brute". Fuck her.

Hammer her Axelrod and strip her hypocrisy so the whole world can see it.

[anonymous171]

25. I agree.

[Catherina]

27. There's no reason to humor her fantasies any longer

or alienate more young voters and a world that's horrified enough over the Iraqi war and doesn't need to hear a DLC warhawk talking about obliterating more countries.

[TahitiNut]

26. You got that right.

Her "Poor Nell" melodrama got old a looong time ago.

I can't even IMAGINE Barbara Jordan or Arundhati Roy behaving like that under any circumstances. Not for a second.

[Catherina]

28. I'm surpised she didn't have more self respect

Unfortunately for her, too many people who love humanity do :hi:

[aaronbees]

33. Yes, please, do it now

Bring the fucking hammer down now and put us out of our misery. The voters want to see someone close the deal - let's do it now, Obama.

[wisteria]

29. Yeah, I agree. But they have to find a way to do it so as to not have people question

his message of wanting to change the tone in Washington.

[redstate_democrat]

30. He needs to roll out a couple SDs within the next couple of days

I predict she will also roll out a couple unelected party leaders SDs.

He needs to come out with his fundraising numbers from tonight. He is raising a TON of money right now.

His surrogates need to obliterate her in the press.

MOVEON.ORG needs to get in on the action.

SEIU and other unions need to get out there with ads.

The problem is that he is running a campaign against not only Hillary, but McCain and the entire RNC and 527 groups. Hillary is getting a FREE PASS. No one is hitting her. All of the fire is directed at Obama. I wonder why? A lot of people are worried. They have thrown everything at him including the kitchen sink, the china, and the buffet, and Obama still managed to cut into Hillary's base and bring her lead down to 9%. So with ALL of that, that proves he is a STRONG candidate. Anyone else would have been drummed out of the race.

[swishyfeet]

31. Leave the nasty stuff to surrogates

Obama is winning without the sink and I respect him all the more for it.

Absolutely nothing has changed after tonight but that Obama is one big state closer to the nom.

The math wasn't there for Hillary yesterday, and it's only further away after today.
