JT..
you hit the nail on the head.. tho i think you have the perspective a little wrong…
i know you were talking about comments about Obama when you said..
“*you’re being mean, you’re being mean*. How do you communicate with that mind set?”
but i would ask you….
how you do communicate with that mind set?
She’s a liar.. she lies.. she cheats.. she dirty… she is stealing the election from the people… she is a war monger… she is a closet republican… She is in bed with republicans.. she is no better than a republican… she can’t even run her family… she was no more than a wife…
do any of those phrases ring a bell? I heard each and every one of them at the democratic caucus in this state… and those are the phrases that were fit to print.
I don’t think it is so much that Clinton ran a bad campaign.. but that the media created a hostile environment that allowed Obama to campaign on Clinton’s platform.
it is no coincidence that there are frequent comparisons between Obama’s campaign and Bill Clinton’s campaign… Take a good look at it and you will find a great deal of comparison…
Add in a lot of “she’s a racist.. they’re racists…”
Throw in the bloggers.. and heck.. you have a winning combination…
Talk about taking apage out of the Krl Rove playbook. spend an hour or so on Huffington’s site with a critical eye and you might have a hard time distinguishing it from similar republican sites…
and she has the full cooperation of the Obama campaign.
The problem is that most of the media campaign.. both in regular media news and on the blogs has been an anti-Hillary campaign.
so while everyone thinks they know a great deal about Hillary, the same can’t be said of Obama. This leaves us with a possible candidate that noone knows…
and quite frankly his campaign has offended enough that many aren’t interested in getting to know him now.
His strategy worked great for a primary…
Will it work this fall? and will you like who you have become if it does?
good questions…
