In a memo, the Clinton campaign says Obama practices "lowdown politics."
  • My 53% Negatives Threshold.

    The Obama camp suggests that it would be hard for anyone to win in November with a 53% negative approval rating.

    Is this debatable? Could McCain or Obama with with negatives that high?

    But some wish to conflate that state with Penn's bold assertion that Obama can't win the general in November.

    Ridiculous.

    But perhaps we should be charitable, and point out it's still March. Just as the Clinton campaign believes that Obama might pass the Commander-in-Chief threshold by August, I can believe that Sen. Clinton might get her unfavorables under 50% by November.

    Of course, she'd have to stop throwing the kitchen sink and start taking the high road to do so, but it is theoretically possible.
