You say: "I have contended that Clinton's attacks are generally more baseless -- and that she is not a defender of progressive values."
I contend that Obama's are just as baseless, so who can win this game? Ugliness is in the eye of the beholder. As far as Clinton not being a defender of progressive values: if this is so, why is she getting the votes of those who most appreciate and stand to gain from those values - women, blue collar workers, those with lower incomes...the core Democratic base? Why is she often cited as having done the most to advocate for women and children, not to mention minorities? The reality for me is that Obama talks a good game about progressive values (when he remembers to), but his record doesn't support his claims.
