(170 posts)In California many years ago Gray Davis won his reelection campaign by using GoP tactics... the major difference was he told the truth.
it CRUSHED his opponents.
that's how come 18 months later the gop had the recall campaign run to elect Schwarzenegger... who honestly could have been a hell of a lot worse for California.
The reason Gray Davis lost his recall is because the dem's collapsed around him. They effectively refused, in the end, to run heavy anti-recall ads. Instead they all ran for office. An office already filled and competently being run by Davis!
Hillary sees these tactics that were so effectively honed over the last 30 years, especially first hand used against her and Bill, and sees a winning strategy.
Sadly she isn't able to run the kind of vicious truth ads that worked so well for Gray Davis in California because.. seriously what can you actually say negative about Bernie? That he believes in personal rights and freedoms?
That he's a gun owner (so am I btw)
That he's for rational gun laws?
That he walked with, was arrested for, and fought for equal right with MLK?
He's Jewish?
