Will Clintonian Tactics cost the Dems the Election?

Question

So far Hillary has:

1) Leaked word that a 5-8 year old Obama may have attended a school that technically was a medrassa, a school with ties to Islam --- never mind the fact that not all medrassas are run by extremists (Just like all churches are not run by Fundamentalists.) This was a political smear job.

2) Are currently calling people asking if "Barak Hussein Obama is a muslim" when he has repeated said chose the faith of his white mother and is a Christian.

3) Revealed that they had secret "potentially crippling information about Obama" that they weren't going to release as they were both dems. Then a few weeks later they realeased it, implying Obama was a drug dealer in his youth. (Obama publicly admitted in his book that he used -not sold - drugs in his youth.)

4) Now Bill clinton has accused Obama of seeing him commit election fraud. Now think about this. Clinton and Obama in a room. Wouldn't there be witnesses?

Answer 1

1. The school Obama attended was a public school, and medrasses are private schools.......it's on record, and it was the Faux News channel that first tried to say that stupid rumor..and they got outed within 24 hours of their blatent lies.

2. Barack Hussein Obama is a Christian man and he attends church in Chicago, Illinois.

3. Barack Obama was not a drug dealer in his youth. Barack attmited to trying weed when he was a teenager, which is the same thing that Bill Clinton atmited to trying in College. The difference, Obama admited to it more than a year earlier in his book......so he's been upfront and honest about his past.

4. Bill Clinton is a blow hard who will say anything to get his wife the nomination. Why? because he most likely (if he's eligible to do so) would tak a cabinet position in her white house....and even if he doesn't...he'll be the unofficial vice president in that white house anyway.....cuz the vp they put on with them...would be a puppet show if they think they could get away with it.

As for costing her or any dem the election. She won't be able to do anything if Obama or Edwards do capture the nomination on her. She can't cost them the election based on what she said before someone else was the nominee. However, the same can't be said for her. The more dirt on her...the more chance of her ending up in bad shape when the general election roles around.

Answer 2

I certainly hope so

Answer 3

Difficult to say.  I suspect that if the Republicans don't offer a viable candidate, the Dems will have this election.

Answer 4

What a great question!

It is going to depend on who wins the nomination. You seem to assume it will be Hillary.

Let's say you are right.

After the way Hillary and Bill have treated Obama, will Blacks be so disgruntled that they will stay home rather than vote for the Clintons? Notice that is plural! I don't know if they will actually turn and vote Republican, but there is a possiblity there, especially if Condi Rice is chosen as VP.



But, that is the big question. African Americans could play a key role in this election, and Hillary knows it. That is why if Hillary wins she will be forced to choose Obama as her running mate.

But, that leaves long-time friend, Bill Richardson, an Hispanic and a particularly favored shoe-in for VP, out in the cold.

One of the reasons Hillary did so well in Nevada with the Hispanics is due to her close ties to Bill Richardson.

When you couple Hillary pandering to the Hispanics (64% of the Hispanic vote) in Nevada, and the way she treated the heavily African American service workers caucus so poorly, (trying to block them from voting for Obama), there could be a lot of animosity surfacing before this is all over.

If this viciousness on the part of the Clintons, (notice that is plural), continues, and she begins hinting at choosing Richardson over Obama because "as she claims", Obama does not have the credentials to be President, "all heck" could break loose at the Democratic Convention.

Hillary is not exactly a spring chicken, and if something happened, would she be content with leaving the Presidency to VP Obama after running her entire campaign against his incompetence and inexperience in leadership?

Or would Bill Clinton want to take over and push Obama aside?

Even if nothing happens to Hillary, would Bill Clinton want to take over and push VP Obama aside?

At least with VP Bill Richardson, the Clintons could control him. I don't think there is any love lost on Bill and Hillary from Barak and Michelle Obama right now.

After the dirty way these primaries have gone, I think a picture of Bill, Hillary, Barak, and Michelle standing on the stage at the Democratic Convention with their arms entwined could make some African Americans lose their lunch unless Barak is at the upper end of the ticket!

Answer 5

I hope so!

Answer 6

none of that matters unless the GOP can turn the economy around and come up with a withdrawal time line for Iraq...those are the 2 most important issues in this election
