Her campaign workers see this modus operandis andit must make some of them very uncomfortable. They need the job, and the money, but are disgusted. If socialist solutions are so good, then the means should be as virtuous as the end result. Hillary is a sociopath.

Hilly the Hun won in both of her attempts. They won doing just what they are doing now. Why mess with a winning formula? And if the Hun does win the nomination (very likely, in my opinion), you can bet the loyalists who are presently aghast will dutifully fall in line and publicly worship her. Nothing succeeds like success! Only once, as I recall, did William Jefferson Clinton fail to win election/re-election to public office. Hilly the Hun won in both of her attempts.

The wishbone offense was in ascendency. It was difficult to stop. Today it is virtually unheard of. Was Clinton Inc attack politics, the polictical wisbone offense of the 90s? Have the defenses caught up with it? Time will tell. Obama may yet pull a Howard Dean and flame out. What intrigues me this time around is the polling numbers. I don't recall Slick's numbers ever evaporating like the Dark Queen's. Maybe the old tricks won't work this time? Older readers may remember college football in the 1970s.

She might still get the nomination, but I think she will lose the election. Remember, know your enemy. These are people that would demand a "do over" if their team lost by a small margin. They are not like you or us. They like to be pandered to, lied to, especially if the lie comforts them. We are living in two different Americas and it doesn't have anything to do with race or financial status. Its self esteem and character that are separating us. I agree with everything above.

I don't think it is either one. I believe the Clinton campaign is doing pretty much what the Clintons have always done. The difference this time is that there are people these days who are going to dig into things and report the truth of the matter. 10 years ago if she had said that the story originated with the Republicans, the news media would have quoted her on that and left it alone. They would not dig into anything. The press did that the entire time the Clintons were in office. They would report something, even if bad news, and just leave it at that. The press would never go digging into Clinton business. They would report what was found under any rocks the Republicans turned over (and then pat themselves on the back for being "fair" and being "hard on the Clintons") but they would never go digging themselves. The differences these days are A: good bloggers with good sources and B: media outlets such as Fox that give who aren't carrying water for the DNC a place to air their story. “Is Hillary this scared or is her campaign this inept?”
