Election Markets have spoken today.... Hillary's ad flopped.....

Obama shares moved up from 85 to 87.... Clinton shares moved from 15 down to 13.

http://www.intrade.com


The Obama rapid-response team has been fantastic.... and Clinton's team has to be reeling now. They thought they had a real winner with this ad... and Obama has neutralized it completely. Made the Clinton ad a parody of itself - and voters will chuckle when they see the Clinton ad now.


Every punch they attempt, ends up missing Obama and he slams her with a counterpunch.


Anyone who thinks he won't be able to handle the GOP, needs to reassess. Clinton is pulling every Repuke trick that we've seen the past 20 years, and Obama is tossing it aside like it is nothing.

He's showing all the uncommitted Superdelegates, all the undecided voters, that he is the best one for taking on McCain.


Fellow dems... relax.... Obama is taking the best shots the Clinton team is throwing at him and coming out better than before.

It's been magical to watch.

Hillary is toast.

3. Agreed. I am so absolutely amazed, awed and impressed with the rapidity and
fluency and dead-on accuracy of his Rapid Responses. This is like nothing I've ever seen. And I must say, this kind of Hutzpa and Verve comes from the TOP down. This is how Barack Obama has decided to run HIS campaign for Presidency. This is the kind of President he will be. Truly refreshing and confidence-inspiring. It will be nice to once again sleep at night, knowing WHO is answering that phone.

GOBAMA ! :bounce: :applause:

7. And I'm wondering who the
smarts guys and gals are who he's surrounding himself with..the anti-mark penns, if you will?

Obama is getting attacked on many fronts, sides, and the back so we know he's got some extraordinary idea peeps.

11. I'd give anything to know that ! Who IS his rapid response team? We've heard
about the speechwriter, and we know who is FP gurus are, and we've seen that brilliant young FP advisor on the TV shows.. but who is really "around" him, like Chief of Staff type people.. would be fascinating to know !

9. What have you seen from your candidate in the past 2 months that makes you think that?
Seriously?


Obama's team have outfoxed, outplanned, outcampaigned, and outearned Hillary's at every turn.

Every move the Clinton team makes blows up in her face.


Barack Obama is the Harlem Globetrotters, Hillary Clinton is the Washington Generals. In other words, we already know who's going to win... the only question is how entertaining it is going to be before the game ends.



jlake, your loyalty to your candidate is admirable. But she continues to toss grenades straight up. If you still have confidence in her campaign, given all that we've seen the past two months, then you need to reassess whether YOU belong to a cult or not.

10. Why isn't she running THIS
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgNj6nd4i4M

It is sooooo much more pointed!

Is she still trying to protect Obama? By focusing on her own strengths instead of his weaknesses?

It's not working!

16. I hope you are prepared for that not to be
if that is how it goes. I was a 'Gore-hopeful' in the early days and an Edwards fan later on. I'm used to disappointment.

6.  The ad was dirty politics
you expect that from the Republicans, but not a fellow Democrat. Just demonstrates the Clinton campaign's desperation.

8. I agree! The ad is now totally neutralized now. If anyone doesnt know which one came first
they will probably just laugh at both ads. The way they respond so quickly is wonderful! The attention will likely be all back on Obama when he releases how much he raised Monday :)
