Hillary and Bill are walking lock in step with this approch of negative camgigning…they will both learn you reap what you sow. I was for Clinton but am now firmly in the Obama column

Two things I found frigtening about these attacks by the Clinton’s on Obama. First, Hillary blasts him for having an associate who was indicted, implying that this fact implies that Obama was involved in questionable activities by association, yet when the Clinton’s found themselves in similar positions in the 90’s (think the McDougals and Webster Hubbell), they felt that you can’t judge someone by their friends. Second, I think that if it had been John Edwards, rather than Bill Clinton who pointed out that “well, remember, Jesse Jackson won South Carolina” I’ll bet that Al Sharpton and others would be screaming for his head for racist comments.

Bill is getting much of the criticism but I’m sure virtually everyone who is critical of Bill recognizes that this is planned by both of them and it is hurting Hillary just as much.

Everyone seems to be placing blame on Bill Clinton, for the smear campaign against Obama. That is exactly how the Clintons want it portrayed, after all Hillary isn’t saying those lies, only Bill is. Of course we are all used to Bill lying a little bit aren’t we? Lets get real this is a calculated risk by the CLINTON campaign, not Bill Clinton himself. Hillary, may figure she can win the nomination and then bring us all back to the fold claiming that Bill went over the top. I cannot speak for the black vote, as i am not black, but i can speak for my vote, 3 weeks ago I was prepared to vote for Hillary in the general election, although admittedly my preference was Obama. Now however, I will never vote for Hillary no matter who the Republican candidate turns out to be. I will write in Obama, or not vote at all. Assuming, i am not some wacko voter out here in california, I would suspect that Hillary has alienated many democratic voters while at the same time energizing Independents against her. I think single handedly she can solve the republican candidates financial crisis as well, and it will be telling to watch how the more likely hillary is to win the nomination the more money starts flowing to republicans.
