Letters to the Editor

This letter is associated with the following article:
Hillary Clinton's campaign has been criticizing Barack Obama for allegedly lifting some of Clinton's economic ideas, and now it's using an interesting source.
  • It's obvious

    McCain is not-so-transparently dissing Obama by complimenting Clinton -- making her seem like the "substantive" candidate on the democratic side -- because he wants to try to help turn the tide and run against her in the Fall.

    It's a brilliant tactic on McCain's part. It, one, helps Clinton, whom he'd rather run against, and, two, helps lure the democratic race down into the mud, where he wants it to be, because that just makes him look better.

    Good move on his part. I hope Obama has a strategy to combat this type of tag-team swiping by both McCain and Clinton -- because right now he's the front-runner against both of them.
