1. Clearly.
Making Obama seem unelectable is her only shot. She's lost in every other metric by which it is possible to lose.

3. no offense, but didn't Wright kind of make himself the "issue" this week
Edited on Tue Apr-29-08 02:29 PM by jsamuel
I am just tired of it always being some Clinton conspiracy every time something bad happens to Obama. Sometimes it is, but not always.

16. Don't blame the messenger, kiddo
Wright opened up his idiotic mouth this past week and made himself, and by connection Obama, look like a jackass.

It isn't Clinton's fault just because she's pointing out the jackassery.

7. No offense taken. That's Wright, what about Obama?
Wright can say whatever he wants. Obama has said nothing of the sort.

8. Some people think that Hillary MADE Wright say all that crazy stuff.
They see everything as part of some vast Hillary-ous conspiracy - or something.

14. She knows it's the ONLY way she can win.
She is doing the Rep's dirty work. Wright = radical = Obama.

HRC is behind this. She isn't stupid; she can count.

17. Clinton clearly is waiting for something bad to happen to Obama. Otherwise
she would have conceded a long time ago.

6. I'd say that's pretty much a dead-ass strategy now.
Obama took it right out of her hands today.

11. I need a little assistance
How does Clinton have anything to do with what Wright said in the past and said this week? Does she schedule Obama's speeches and their content? I think we are getting in the realm of nonsense making the Wright situation anything comparable to what a swiftboating actually is. There is nothing in the realm of swiftboating in the Wright issue. I think Mr Wright is making Mr Wright the "issue."

20. Oh I see it alright
There exists in our country an element who would like all of us to believe that Senator Clinton is dragging down the party. I have been a democrat for 35+ years. I will vote for whomever the party nominates and support wholeheartedly in the general election. Senator Clinton has nothing to do with Mr Wright, his words, his actions or the responses by Senator Obama. We have become incredibly cavalier in tossing around the word swiftboating. One could opine that many of us don't have a fucking clue what swiftboating is.

18. Hillary has not made Wright the "issue". Rev. Wright made himself the "issue".
