How Obama won Wisconsin

The Illinois senator did well with campus liberals, white men, crossover Republicans and independents, but he made inroads into Clinton's working-class base too.

    Honey or Vinegar?

    It seems to me the Clinton campaign has decided their tactic is to:

    1. Go negative. Attack.

    2. If that doesn't work, double down and increase your attacks 200%.

    3. Rinse, repeat.

    ...but what's funny about this is that during this primary season she has decided against wooing the base, just increasing her attacks against her main opponent. Add to that abusive shills that have been commissioned to attack posters on all progressive sites, and to call in every progressive talk show and spout more negative talking points.

    Yet, the more she and her hired thugs do this, the more it alienates the Democratic base. So why she is doing this simply makes no sense to me. I thought she was pretty smart.
