The Trail: A Daily Diary of Campaign 2008

Are those kids on stage her voting base?

Or is she going after the grand kid vote.

Or her fellow granny aged boomers?

Hillary is just a cunning little runt.

We've seen those tactics already. Hillary's camp was sending out muslim emails, and then called Obama a dope dealer. She also called him a coward, naive, inexperienced. It only made her look desperate and nasty, she did anything she could. Just like Bush.

People didn't buy it, thankfully, as a society, we are moving past that. Many independents, and some Republican's even moved to vote for Obama.

Let 'em scream and attack. They only validate Obamas approach. And those who have supported Bush have no credibility with more than 70% of the electorate. The Republican evangelical/neocon axis has failed America. Their ideology fails, their policies fail, their screaming and yelling will fail. Their time is past and it failed. Quick, name the biggest failure of the last 25 years? The Republican Party.

I think part of determining electability is keeping a finger on the pulse of what conservatives are passing around on the internet. They won't lower the boom on Obama until after the primaries if he's the candidate but still some of the more hard core can't restrain themselves.

I just copied on one of those conservative emails that make the rounds, you know the type, and it was low key but damaging about Obamas's church and faith. Just a hint at the devastation to come.

I'm not much for content free flowery speeches but I recognize many people are taken by his speeches. But I really see a re-enactment of '72 here with anti-war McGovern getting trounced by Nixon Republicans with dirty tricks and law and order / national defense, etc.

They will do the same thing to Obama, but will be much uglier. Left wing Democrats criticize Hillary, but she is not vulnerable to national security like Obama is, and by the time the email whispering campaign attacks on Obama are done, we will be reliving 1972 all over again.

People really need to get realistic about Republican neocons and what they will do.

Her videogame ban's coming back to bite.

from the article: "On Saturday, Clinton made a last-minute addition to her schedule: a conversation with young undecided voters in New Hampshire. That's significant because the event eats into her preparation time before tonight's make-or-break debate."

There's really no better preparation she can make than to talk to young undecided voters. Good for Hillary.

I don't mind at all this going beyond Feb. 5 before a winner is determined. Having two small states determine who our candidate is is a ridiculous concept, as someone was asking that candidates ashould drop out for "unity" after one freakin caucus. Gimme a break.

It's just the first two of several states yet to speak. None of these remaining Democratic candidates should drop out at this point until the people have determined who they want for President, ideally by the time most states have spoken.

If that pic is any indication, she's going after the wrong crowd.

LOL! For Slick's Ol Lady, they are ALL Younger Voters!

C'mon Chelsea, make it official, she SHOULD be a Granny!
