LISTEN to a Clinton Push-Poll call to NC Obama Supporter! (AUDIO)
AUDIO Push-Poll: http://www.abcnews.go.com/video/playerIndex?id=4725027

There is no math that get her to the nomination without the destruction of her opponent, and THAT is her plan. Repulsive. I wish the biggest Dem movers and shakers (not naming names, but you know who) would TRY to stop this already.

On Wednesday, Obama-backing musician in Black Mountain, North Carolina, David LaMotte, got a phone call from a pollster for Sen. Hillary Clinton, Garin-Hart-Yang, in which negative messages against Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, were being tested.
...

"I'm going to read you a few criticisms opponents might make about Barack Obama," the pollster said. "For each one please tell me if they give you very major doubts, fairly major doubts, some doubts or no real doubts about supporting Barack Obama for president.

"At a time when we need leaders who are clear, strong and decisive, Obama has been inconsistent, saying he would remove all troops, but then indicating that he might not, and pledging to renegotiate NAFTA, but then sending signals that he would not actually do so as president.

...
You can listen to some of the call, which LaMotte record and emailed to me, HERE. (http://www.abcnews.go.com/video/playerIndex?id=4725027)

Says LaMotte, in an email, "the questions, as you'll hear, are unanswerable if you don't accept the basic premises laid out in them, like the classic push poll example 'Are you still beating your wife?' You can't answer that 'yes or no.' I don't accept that Barack pledged to walk away from NAFTA OR that he 'sent signals' that he wouldn't really do it as president, both of which are premises for the question. Like Hillary, he pledged to renegotiate, and to walk away if other parties refused…..

4. May history record how the Clinton campaign went 100% negative.
Disgusting. And hilarious how the pollster kept an upbeat tone the whole time, unleashing bullshit from his mouth and being surprised each time LaMotte told him his shit stunk.

9. morning kick- not sure why this thread keeps sinking!
I think this is a pretty damning piece of evidence against HRC and her tactic to destroy Obama's electibility in spite of her own slim-to-none odds of winning the nomination.
