Shocker! MSM tries to spin this Spitzer thing right into Hillary and Obama..
I heard all over the air waves this morning questions regarding how the Clinton and Obama camps were going to "handle" the Spitzer revelations. :wtf:

2. They're trying to add one more level to the smarmy story.
Both campaigns should remain hands off. The only one who needs to "handle" this is Mrs. Bobbitt . . . I mean Spitzer.

7. Let them get the backfire...that's ridiculous..Obama was not responsible for the shooting

in Illinois any more than Hillary is responsible for Spitzer. That is exactly how non sensical it is.

9. Not me. I don't think Hillary should be criticized over Spitzer's actions. I do think it may remind
SOME people about sex scandal fatigue related to Bill Clinton. Pretty lame if you ask me. She's suffered enough because of the sexual exploits of men. She should be left alone on this matter.

5. The real danger of the Spitzer case for Hillary
If Spitzer does not resign and is impeached people's heads all over the country will begin to ache with the memories of the last impeachment they can remember and the potential for Bill having another 'bimbo eruption' (as his own staff used to call them) in a Hillary administration.

6. Even without an impeachment of Spitzer, Hillary was already asked if Spitzer should resign
She said "Let's Wait."

AWKWARD!

The real problem for Hil is this shows how devastating a sex scandal can be, and of course it will remind everyone of Monica and the cigar and the $850,000 Bill had to pay Paula Jones and the lies he told the nation about Monica, Paula, and Gennifer.

Plus there is the little matter of Bill's affiar with Lisa Belzberg and Belinda Stronach in 2002 which was reported in the NY Post, the NY Daily News, The Scotsman, the Toronto Star, and CNN.

That will be dredged up now.

You kiddies can now learn how devastating these sex scandals can be politically, which is why you want to vote Obama.

Bill 2002 affairs will be used against Hil, the press is just waiting. Plus all his former adulteries are right now being played again today as setup for the Spitzer pieces.

Hil could lose PA over this.

Oh and by the way, there are few men who would ever DARE to cheat on Michelle Obama. So you're pretty safe voting for the happy family versus the troubled one.

8. As hands-off as this story should be, it won't be.
Hillary has SLIGHTLY more on the line in that Spitzer is one of her supporters...but the only thing Spitzer and Obama share is that little (D) next to their name.

10. It's stupid.
Edited on Tue Mar-11-08 08:47 AM by calico1
Hillary and Obama are both Democrats, like Spitzer. Yes, Hillary got his endorsement, but that doesn't mean she is involved in the prostitution ring too. Anyone who thinks so is an idiot. And Obama isn't even from NY. How the hell are they linking him??
