"The chick is clearly iron-willed and rigidly dogmatic."
The democrats are going to have to fight fire with fire .....barrage for barrage.
The democrats are going to have to learn quickly to deliver distorted half-truths in an angry and self-righteous tone.
If Obama thinks this behavior might undermine his "softspoken, rational" image, turn the job over to someone who can and will do it.
Why isn't Joe Biden doing this ?
This is an old tried and true political technique used in the last days of an election.
This is not about truth and the republicans know that ...... this is total war.
Each day, a different salvo of accusations is thrown before the last ones can be rebutted.
The opponent has no time to catch his breath, let alone persuade the electorate that statements even 2 or 3 days old are untrue as new threats have already been uttered.
Its jabs and short soundbites ...... the democrats must adopt the same tactics or risk failure ....... this is not time for "civilized" discussion.
The media, hungry for any news, should welcome a daily news conference with Biden where a couple of discouraging words could be planted.
