The Pushback Against the Pushback

As the race to come out on top in the Iowa caucuses gets more intense, so does the web design crew from Barack Obama’s campaign team:

Hillary Attacks, the newest Obama web venture, attempts to paint Clinton as a hypocrite for her past pronouncements that she would not be involved in criticizing other Democrats; and just to be sure that you understood how bad those attacks are, the site is rendered in fonts that let you know that Camp Obama Means Business.

Cool.

Why do I smell fear in the MSM, since their pre-chosen candidates Guiliani and Clinton are being rejected?

Right now HRC is my candidate. But it used to be Richardson, following with Obama. I'm trying to be super open-minded about 2008, but...

If Hillary dressed herself with camo-cargo pants, a white cotton tank with no bra, a couple hand grenades with a pistol of any kind on her belt, uh, with a Sonya Blade hairdo while handling her equipped Benelli M4 Super 90...

That would seal the deal. Hands down, ta-hotally voting for her.

Don't give up on Richardson poe! Hillary will be more of the same and Obama is quickly following suit. Richardson has the best experience and the best plans to be the next president.

I for one am stunned by Mr. Poe's vivid imagery. Wow!

You're both stunned because of the headshot-realization that it's an awesome play. She should do it. Now.

I tell ya, to characterize what HRC is dealing as attacks makes Obama seem thin skinned. This is politics. Willy Horton ads were attacks. By picking on the term "fun", Obama comes off as having no sense of humor or politics. People like it when politicians mix it up a little. Everyone who was watching remembers Bentsons' "you're no john kennedy" response. A better strategy would be to respond to the points, point out HRC's own credibility problems and then to suggest that "she's worried because the race is close".
