Barack Obama BEAT the freakin' Clintons at their own game.
And this is from someone who supported Hillary in the primary.
Do you really think that the way they are acting right now is the end game -- the final strategy??
Puhleazze! This is strategy.
The media were jumping over themselves to praise and flatter Palin and it was not going to serve our cause at that moment for Obama and Biden to release a barrage of attacks on her when we were already doing a good job at it!
It's all about the debates. Lowering expectations. Playing Mr. Nice Guys. And then......WHAM!
ONE good whiff of that McCain temper and ONE gaffe from that foreign-policy "genius" Palin and the election is WON -- they will not be able to recover.
Geesh....I finally came out of lurk mode and now all this hand-wringing from you all who've helped me keep my sanity the past two elections......Guess it's my turn to return the favor!
