It's never enough until you're sure it was enough. Axelrod's instinct is right. You have to paint her as a phony on this outsider/insider nonesense. I read yesterday she was trained by GOPAC. There's your lede. Link her to Gingrich and say she's a trained republican operative who learned Washington politics from the master of deceit. Never say her name without mentioning Gingrich. Everybody hates that guy, and if we can get him back on the news, it's a plus for democrats.

Greg:

Hilary is not the party. I can be a really good democrat and still not be too broken up about her negative press coverage. She would have been bad for the party and bad for the country. I'm going to save my powder for when the media tries to destroy someone who would be good for the party and good for the country, like Obama. I do, however, appreciate your not parroting the totally bogus allegation that she was the victim of unfair sexism.

And, of course, these numbers come at the end of Hillary's long and torturous kitchen sink campaign that has included all sorts of nasties that we never expected were even in her kitchen sink. Meanwhile, Obama has essentially run a Jackie Robinson campaign. Hillary gets indignant because Obama points out how dishonest she is, but of course the pillow-puff attacks on Clinton from Obama are less than the tip of the tip of the iceberg she will face from McCain and Repub 527s in the actual campaign. Here's a good example. Obama touched on Hillary's health care mandates for her unicorn (sorry I meant universal) health care proposal. She got all indignant and shouted him down. Guess what? In the general election, her plan will be C-R-U-C-I-F-I-E-D on precisely those grounds. The media will buy it and she will lose on that issue. How do we know? Because we saw her get torched on exactly those kind of "big-government mandate" points when she last tried to provide us with unicorn (sorry, I meant universal) health care in 1992. The republicans will ruin her with her own signature issue and she'll complain, but in the general she won't be going against Jackie Robinson, she'll be going against someone who actually has to fight back to win. And she'll lose. At this point I'm almost hoping she steals the nomination so we can see it.

her explanation is just as bad as the statement. She was so broken up about Ted that she had to point out his brother's assasination?

Can someone please give me a reason to see Hillary as anything other than wtretched?

This kind of thing just makes the party stronger! The republicans would have done this in the fall anyway, so it's O.K. for a democrat to do it now!

Hillary's best move now is to suspend her campaign and say she's taking her delegates to the convention. She would then continue to work on seating Michigan and Florida while she reaps huge margins in WV and KY and wins PR (though losing big in Oregon, MT, and SD). Then she can wait for the next big scandal to rock Obama, which is the only strategy she has left anyway. Basically, she should just shut up, say see you in August, and wait to see whether absence makes the heart grow fonder in democratic hearts. It's not much of a strategy but it's the best one she has left.

Luckily, Hillary's campaign bought it's brain from the tin man, so that's not what she's going to do. Instead she will continue to fight and ultimately will alienate the party so much that she'll lose any influence she might have had at the convention and thereafter. Since I'm an Obama guy, that makes me feel good; I'd prefer to see the Clinton influence purged from the party. Still, I have to admit pangs of sympathy for Hillary this morning. She's a very interesting and tragic figure -- but she'd be a lousy president. The best candidate won and now it's time to keep McCain out of the White House.

The downside of populist pandering. Good to see Hillary has energized this long-dormant wing of the party.

VINCENNES, Ind. (WTHI) - A local campaign office has been vandalized just 24 hours before election day in Indiana. An investigation is underway currently as to who is behind the destruction of Senator Barack Obama's Vincennes campaign headquarters. The vandalism occured sometime Sunday night.

Supporters at the Vincennes Obama for America office arrived monday morning to find something disturbing. Overnight someone had vandalized Senator Obama's Vincennes campaign site.

Spray paint covered windows with broken glass across the floor. Heart-breaking news to Obama supporters.

Duane Chattin, President of the Vincennes City Council tells News 10 "our hope now is that the police will catch these criminals and they can be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law."

When police arrived witnesses told them one important item was missing. "vandals apparently broke this glass and stole an american flag that once stood on display in this window" says Chattin. "One thing we know about the criminal that did this, first of all they are a criminal, second, that they're a vandal, and third, they're not patriotic because stealing a United States flag shows disrespect for the country" explains Chattin.

The crime scene caught the attention of those walking by. Local residents stopped by the office to find out what happened. Shaking their heads they walked away.

But Senator Obama's supporters aren't letting the vandalism get them down. They hit the streets of Vincennes carrying on their message of hope.

Chattin says "we're moving forward, we're looking forward to tomorrow and we think that Barack Obama's gonna do very good."

If you have any information on the vandalism, call Crime Stoppers at 238-stop.
