The GOP attack plan for Hillary Clinton
If Clinton beats the odds and wins the Democratic nomination, Republicans will say she stole it. And then they'll try to give voters a 1990s flashback.
By Mike Madden [2008-03-26]

  • @ WES

    Sorry, I'm trying to articulate this well because I think it's critically important to be clear on this, it's a big issue.

    It's not that Clinton is teaching Democrats to fight. The real question is how to fight.

    The real question is whether Hillary's brand of fighting is as productive (long-term, especially) as it appears on the surface.

    Is Clinton wise?

    Does her campaign display wisdom?

    Does the fight need to be dirty in order to succeed?

    And if so, is the victory of any real value?

    These are really serious questions with no clear answers.

    But Obama is offering an alternative, one that, if successful, suggests to me the sky will be the limit with his presidency because his style of politics is designed to minimize resentments and keep the focus on our common humanity and the real problems we face.

    He understands that in order to accomplish things you have to win people over, not bulldoze them out of the way.
