Barack is going after McCain instead of Hillary

[proud2BlibKansan]

Smart move.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

1. Only wise thing to do at this point

because otherwise whoever wins the nomination will have been battered and worn out by a fellow Dem and not be in a position to fight McCain. Hope Clinton does the same thing.

[Jawja]

2. She won't.

She's been resurrected by salvaging wins in Ohio and Texas and by being the media darling over the last couple of weeks.

She will continue her scorched earth campaign against Obama and guarantee a bruised and divided Democratic Party going into the GE. She cannot become the nominee any other way.

6. And all those young voters who have been so enthusiastic about Obama

will never show up at the polls to vote for Botox Hillary.

3. No, not smart. He has to fight Hillary Rove Clinton's swiftboating tactics.

He can't sit and take it like Kerry. We saw how well that worked.

8. Kerry didn't have the Obama secret weapon: delegate arithmetic. n/t

[Dinger]

4. Good!

Works for me.

[high density]

5. Which is kind of sad, because you know she's going to go after him

Here she is last night in her victory speech:

"You know, protecting America is the first and most urgent duty of the president. When there's a crisis and that phone rings at 3 a.m. in the White House, there's no time for speeches or on-the-job training. You have to be ready to make a decision."

9. Last night was her saving face.

She can now bow out after a win.

[proud2BlibKansan]

10. And she made a decision to go to war

She fell for Bush's lies.

No thanks, Hillary.

[mattclearing]

11. She's going to look irrelevant. n/t

[XemaSab]

17. You have to be ready to tell Bill to take a cab to a motel and not come home

drunk and reeking of cheap perfume... again. :eyes:

[William769]

7. And during the debates before Super Tuesday

Hillary went after Republicans when Obama was going after Hillary. Glad to see he's FINALLY taking her lead!

[Vinca]

12. That is a very smart move. He needs to ignore Hillary and her

dirty politics. He's still the likely candidate and he can't let McCain get a head start.

[Meshuga]

13. Good for him!

Take the high road, Barack, and go after the people who can potentially do more damage to our ailing country. It is not about winning the nomination at all costs. Keep it going even if it costs you the nomination.

Gobama!

[liberal N proud]

14. The best thing would be if both Hillary and Barrack would do that

It would be double team on the republcions and voters could really see by example who would best take on the war monger in November.

[stray cat]

15. I think that is a smart move. glad to hear it.

[stillcool]

16. Maybe he can hit..

two birds with one stone.
