Hillary hits Obama on tendency to BACK DOWN from a fight. Wonders "what fights would he avoid"
Good question. What fights WOULD he avoid?

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0208/8453.html

Senator Hillary Rodham (D-N.Y.) mocked Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) tonight for his high-flown rhetoric, suggesting she would fight important fights when he would back down.

During the half-hour conversation, she said that when she hears Obama’s oratory about a more civil politics, she wonder what fights he would avoid.

“You never hear the specifics,” Clinton said. “It’s all this kind of abstract, general talk about how we all need to get along. I want to get along, and I have gotten along, in the Senate. I will work with Republicans to find common cause whenever I can. But I will also stand my ground because there are fights worth having.”

4. Once he starts to fight his opponents the...
entire "hope and change" mantra is gone. He becomes just another politcal-type. Also, he has a shallow platform that will not help him when he has to discuss the issues.
Also, MSNBC is a pro-Obama as you can get.

8. Like the health care debacle she folded on when she was "in office"? 1994ish(?)
I mean forgot it happened after a couple of months because it didn't poll well after the Harry and Louise (?) commercials?

9. Any intelligent person knows that one can win a fight
without being pugnacious. What's wrong with moving forward and advancing your agenda with diplomacy and reason?
