The New Clinton Tactic


I am starting to notice a trend. Hillary is obviously lying in the weeds while the press does her bidding wagging their tongues at Obama going negative. I have no doubt that Camp Clinton has taken notice that the NAFTA flap reversal hasn't grabbed in the MSM, nor has her empowering statements about John McCain and the implication that he is better than Barack Obama on national security. Several times now in the past few days she floats the proposal of a joint ticket, surprisingly (cough), while Obama takes his first clear and strong negative jabs at her. Could this be a new strategy? It would be a pretty easy set-up for her to spin this to "I am talking about Democrats uniting while he just continues to attack. Where is the change he so proudly touts?" Add on top of this situation the statements of Samantha Powers and Hillary is sitting on a Sit-N-Spin that the Obama campaign, at least right now, is handing her. I fear it is not a coincidence that she brings the joint ticket to the table again immediately following the Powers flap. The capability and power of the Clinton game should not be underestimated and I fear that the Obama Camp has fallen back on it's haunches a little bit by seeing her campaign so vulnerable. It's time to pick it up. They need to continue to call her out on her obvious statements like the McCain empowering. Now is not the time for mistakes.
