The manufactored "bitter" controversy could end up hurting Hillary

[NJmaverick]

Her eagerness to attack Obama and her use of the right wingnut term "elitist" has a good chance of backfiring. This is the DEMOCRATIC primary and when a candidate starts to attack the other candidate for having Democratic values, it's going to open up some eyes. People are going to see her as an amoral person, that will say and do anything to get what she wants. I think her numbers will dip far more than Obama's will.

2. Well just about anything she tries ends up hurting her. This will be no different.

She has officially crossed the line that separates annoying and downright PATHETIC.

4. Obama's numbers are going down

Favor-ability is now below 50 percent and she is one point ahead of him according to Rasmussen.

Thanks a lot Bullshit Media!

8. Temporary they fluctate with the attacks

and can easily be recovered. Hillary's negative keep going up and once people are negative, they don't change to positive.

5. Obama admits he made a stupid statement...

...why continue to defend it if he himself says it was regrettable?

I find it funny when you talk about 'eagerness to attack Obama.' Just a nip of hypocracy in that statement, no?

[gabeana]

6. he meant the wording was regrettable but not the theme

don't be dishonest

11. No he didn't....but thanks for putting words into his mouth...

....:eyes:

He did NOT back away from what he said, just how he said it...

For the record I agree with botht he sentiment AND the words he used...

I wouldn't have said 'bitter' though...I would have said "mind-blowingly pissed off"...

13. He admits he could have said it differently

But the content, he didnt apologize...He is right, people are ANGRY/BITTER...take a look at the disapproval polls.

9. "Elitist" is the new "Shame on you!". n/t

[NJmaverick]

10. I think it's much worse, because it's a repuke talking point

Dems are not going to be happy that she is acting like a repuke.

12. I'm wondering how this is playing with super D's

and party elders.
