Have you ever compared Clinton's and Obama's websites?

[AZBlue]

They are both filled with the types of things you'd expect - how to volunteer, how to buy their merchandise, policies and stands on issues, biographical info, etc.

The big difference is the additional negativity found all over Clinton's site. Just like the difference between the two campaigns and the two candidates, it's startling.

First there's the "Attack Timeline" - a linear timeline of "attacks" by Obama on poor poor Clinton:
http://www.attacktimeline.com/

And what would you expect a "Fact Hub" to be on any candidate's site? Facts about that candidate, right? Well, probably on most candidates' sites that's exactly what it would be - but on Clinton's site, it's all about Obama!
http://facts.hillaryhub.com/

Another interesting page is the "Delegate Hub." A very very curious addition in my opinion, but ok, let's go with it - it must be about delegates, right? Nope, it's about....you guessed it, Obama!
http://www.delegatehub.com/

Stroll on over to the press release section - about half are about Obama!
http://hillaryclinton.com/news/release/

There is indeed a "Fact Check" section on Obama's website that sets the story straight on the Clinton campaign's lies, but that's the only section of its kind.
http://factcheck.barackobama.com/

Why is Clinton so negative and why is she seemingly obsessed with Obama? I know he's her competition, but the level of focus on Obama is odd.

Just a quick look at the two websites is a perfect summation of the differences between the two candidates. One is negative and antagonistic, the other is positive and confident. One looks to criticize, the other looks to move forward and upward.

'Nuff said.

1. It's interesting how Clinton can be a "fighter" and yet play the "victim" card at the same time.

[Canuckistanian]

10. A "victim" who's "fighting" is called an underdog

And America loves them, see?

[AZBlue]

11. America loves them when their genuine and honest - like the Giants

America turns on them when they're deceptive,manipulative and not really the underdog, just playing one - like Clinton.

[Canuckistanian]

13. Exactly n/t.

[stillcool]

15. and who would you say...

was the 'under-dog'? I mean...considering...

HILL TROUNCING RIVALS IN N.H. & OHIO
By IAN BISHOP
January 31, 2007 -- WASHINGTON - Hillary Rodham Clinton has blown past her primary rivals in the 2008 kickoff state of New Hampshire, and bests the field of White House hopefuls in the swing state of Ohio, new polls show.

Clinton's poll bounce comes on the heels of her announcement that she's running, and her much-publicized first campaign foray into Iowa this past weekend.

She had enjoyed a high-tech campaign rollout, featuring a video announcement of her candidacy and three nights of Web chats with supporters.

"We had a great first week and we hope it is a sign of things to come," campaign spokesman Phil Singer told The Post yesterday.

Clinton has jumped out to a 15-point lead in New Hampshire over her leading rival, Barack Obama, 40 percent to 25 percent, the new Survey USA poll shows. Former Sen. John Edwards stands at 23 percent.

Hillary Clinton: Is the Democratic Nomination All Hers?
She doesn’t have the nomination prize wrapped up just yet, but the paper and ribbon are handy.

Hillary Clinton’s lead over her Democratic rivals is starting to look formidable. The N.Y. senator is overshadowing the other presidential hopefuls, pulling way ahead in the polls, in fundraising and in organization.

The media are starting to refer to her as the presumptive nominee, a characterization that must make the other candidates feel frustrated.

CLINTON HAS 33-POINT LEAD
By GEOFF EARLE
October 4, 2007 -- WASHINGTON - Hillary Rodham Clinton has jumped to an astounding 33-point lead over Barack Obama, topping her main rival among every major slice of the electorate and widening a dominating advantage she has held all summer.

Clinton got support from a full majority for the first time in any national survey about the Democratic presidential field. She is backed by 53 percent in the latest Washington Post/ABC News poll.

Obama follows far behind, with 20 percent, and John Edwards has 13 percent.

"I think it's pretty well done, don't you? All over but the voting," said Rep. Tom Petri (D-Wis.), when asked about the poll

By Dalia Sussman

Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton far outpaces her main Democratic rivals to handle a range of issues, and she is considered the strongest leader and the most electable – forces that have helped her widen her lead in the race for the Democratic nomination, according to a new ABC News/Washington Post poll.

Mrs. Clinton has anywhere from a 30-point lead to a 51-point lead over Senator Barack Obama to handle health care, the economy, the war in Iraq and the campaign against terrorism, the poll found.

New polling from Rasmussen has Hillary Clinton beating Barack Obama in the South Carolina primary, with 38% for Hillary against 30% for Obama, with John Edwards at a distant third with 13%. Hillary and Obama are even among black voters, a demographic in which Obama needs a strong majority in order to win. Among whites, Hillary leads with Edwards in second, and Obama far behind.

Clinton leaving Obama in the dust in latest state poll

New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, bolstered by an aggressive campaign organization in California, has amassed a whopping 30-point lead over Illinois Sen. Barack Obama - and enjoys more support among likely voters in the state Democratic primary than all of her Democratic presidential rivals combined, a Field Poll released today shows.

[Canuckistanian]

18. Yup. Those are some mighty impressive polls

Interesting to see what actually happens in a REAL poll.

This should be fun.

:popcorn:

[stillcool]

20. Real Poll?

You mean all those states that didn't count?

[Canuckistanian]

22. The actual voting is what I meant

In the immortal words of a former politician in my country, "polls are for dogs".

[Cha]

12. hilary's schizoid, I tell ya..just what this

country doesn't need. Another, basketcase in the oval office.

[TexasObserver]

19. She's the only fighter I've ever seen whose "go to" move was to curl up in a fetal position and cry

[AZBlue]

21. Ha!

:spray:

Pardon me while I go get a napkin...

[jlake]

2. You must have missed this while at Obama's website...

http://hillaryattacks.barackobama.com/

[AZBlue]

4. Well, not exactly - it's part of the Fact Check section that I did list.

I just didn't list every page.

[blogslut]

5. One page in a sub directory

Hillary Clinton has 15 different domains on servers completely apart from her candidate domain. hillaryhub, attacktimeline, delegatehub, thehillaryiknow, votingpresent, are just some of them.

[jlake]

6. pssst..... it can also be accessed as a seperate website.. and it was put up before

Hillary put up attacktimeline.

[AZBlue]

9. How do you know that?

Is it on the Attack Timeline? :rofl:

[blogslut]

24. Really?

How can you be you sure about that? Do you know the creation date of that particular page? The page, not the website. In case you don't know this, websites get updated with new, additional pages and content all the time. You're saying you know exactly how old that page on that sub-domain is?

Yes, it can be accessed on it's own. That's the function of a sub-domain. Unless you have a different URL than the one you gave me.

[AZBlue]

7. Maybe that's where all the money went.

Domain name registrations can be pricey.

[blogslut]

25. Not so much anymore

Maybe for suckers. If you're paying more than ten dollars a year, then you are a sucker. They used to cost 70.00-120.00 a year so the price has gone way down. You can get them cheaper, just make sure it's in your name.

[GainesT1958]

3. As my wife likes to put it...

Both websites effectively reflect "the shadow of the leader". Hillary's reflects her--and undoubtedly Mark Penn's--personality, while Obama's clearly reflects his, and his outlook on things. Goes with the territory.

I'm just glad to be supporting the "positive" candidate!:D

B-)

[truedelphi]

8. Same here, while hoping we don't get fooled again. n/t

[Brundle_Fly]

14. from the timeline...

01/15/08 Obama says Hillary uses ‘fear of terrorism in scoring political points.'

Umm, didn't she just completely do that? this attack timeline element is from a month ago..

:rofl:

[progressive_realist]

16. Hahaha. Clinton must want to lose.

She conveniently lists all of the valid arguments against her on her own "Attack Timeline", without even any rebuttals. At least Obama is smart enough to only write "Clinton Attacks Again" headlines, without detailing the substance of the attack.

That page makes her look TERRIBLE. Now I know where to direct people so they will stop supporting her.

:rofl:

:rofl:

:rofl:


:spray:






Worst. Campaign. Ever. (Or at least since Romney left the race.)

[AZBlue]

17. It was that very page in particular that inspired my post.

For a minute I thought I was on The Onion - when I realized I wasn't, I just had to share the comedy.

[bigbrother05]

23. Thanks for posting
