Clinton Campaign Shows a Lack of Class

Sam Stein at Huffington roerts truly sad behavior on the part of the Clinton campaign, :

Stein quotes Clinton's campaign strategist Mark Penn as saying,

"It would be hard to imagine a nominee from this party who didn't win New York, California, Massachusetts, Michigan, Florida, Texas, Ohio, and Pennsylvania," said Penn.

This is utter dog shit. No democrat in O8 can lose New York, Californai, Mass, or Michigan. These are not swing states. In the other, Obama polls ahead of HRC, This sort of dissembling makes one worry what HRC is being told by Penn?

"During the call, both Penn and Howard Wolfson, Clinton's press secretary, repeatedly hit Obama for lifting words from a speech of his friend and surrogate Massachusetts's Gov. Deval Patrick. The two Clinton surrogates also went after their campaign rival for not revealing the full extent of his relationship with indicted supporter Tony Rezko. The most direct political attacks, however, came when Penn took Obama to task for being unqualified to serve as commander-in-chief."

This is close to Rovian behavior. For his part, BHO has avoided the potential use of HRC's gender, her complex relationship with Bill, the mystery of her tax return, the continued employment of Ira Magaziner, her embrace of Mrs. Arafat, her total of 12 months employment outside of government or coproprate law, Bill's bizarre ties to Kazhakastan, yadda yadda. If she he wins, this sort of un ethical campaign will go some distance to reinforce the incredulity created by Bush and Chaney's lies.

"[Sen. Clinton] is the only person in this race who is both ready to be commander-in-chief and would end the Iraq war and start to bring troops home within 60 days, compared to both Sen. Obama and Sen. McCain," he told reporters."


Frankly this is utter bull. Neither candiudate has military expertise.
