Obama Campaign Memo: Tonya Harding Tactics


Comments (3)

Poor Hillary, it's so sad to see her continue to punch herself in the face.

If Hillary wins the nomination through whatever perverse tactics she employs, I'm voting for Ralph Nader.

I would never vote against a Democrat in the general election -- and there was a time when I had almost as much respect for Hillary as I do for Barack Obama, which is a lot. But the combination of the Tonya Harding strategy, the concession that McCain has proven his qualifications to be Commander in Chief, while Obama is unproven, the dishonest inflation of her own experience, Snipergate (and the joke she is becoming because of it), her criticisms of Obama and Dr. Wright in an interview with Richard Mellon Scaife, and the unyieldingly devisive tone of her campaign and her supporters, has made it much more difficult to stomach her and her campaign. So she'll get my vote if she ends up being the nominee (Supreme Court -- need I say more), but she has lost any hope for regaining my enthusiasm or my respect.
