Comments on: Obama denies new Clinton attack, calls her 'stressed' by polls http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2007/12/03/obama-denies-new-clinton-attack-calls-her-stressed-by-polls/ All politics, all the time Mon, 21 Dec 2009 22:07:36 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: William, Saint Louis, MO http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2007/12/03/obama-denies-new-clinton-attack-calls-her-stressed-by-polls/#comment-167764 William, Saint Louis, MO Tue, 04 Dec 2007 07:40:05 +0000 http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2007/12/02/obama-denies-new-clinton-attack-calls-her-stressed-by-polls/#comment-167764 I like the way Clinton supporters cite old polls to show that she's back on track. The Nation has the goods http://www.thenation.com/blogs/campaignmatters?bid=45&pid=256629 Excerpt "Unfortunately for Clinton, the most current polling data has Obama in front. The Clinton campaign cites two polls in its release: An AP-Pew survey that has the New York senator leading Obama by 5 points, and an Iowa State poll showing her ahead of former North Carolina Senator John Edwards by 7 points and Obama by 10 points. That would seem to counter the Sunday Des Moines Register data that has Obama with 29 percent to Clinton's 25 percent. There's just one problem: Despite the fact that the Clinton campaign's release came out the day after the Register published its poll results, the AP-Pew and the Iowa State surveys were largely conducted before the newspaper even began its questioning of likely caucus goers. The AP/Pew poll was in the field over several weeks, from November 7 to November 25. That means it contains some responses that are almost a month old. The Iowa State poll was conducted from November 6 to November 18, meaning that all of its data is older than that contained in the Register poll." Like some one else already said, with information as readily available as it is today, the old style of campaign tricks just don't work anymore.

ALL of these candidates probably have wanted to run for president for almost as long as they can remember. That's what one would expect! The problem Obama has is that he and his staff tried to make an issue of this with Hillary. They wanted to show that Hillary has wanted to be president forever, therefore, she is only driven by ambition and not cause. The fact is, they are ALL driven (by a certain extent by ambition), including Obama. He clearly was looking at a presidential path in law school and during his time in the Illinois Senate. To bring up his days in Kindergarten is SILLY, but the ENTIRE conversation is silly. It should never have been used against Hillary, not it is coming back to haunt him. Ambition should not be a disqualifier for any of these candidates. If Obama wants the issue to go away, just stop responding to the criticism, and STOP making ambition an issue with reference to Hillary. Both sides shoud stick to the ISSUES, experience, and ability to lead. Period. Regarding the whole when-did-he-want-to-be-president issue, this IS silly.

So what if Clinton thinks it's fun to fight back (and defeat) those who have attacked her? It's about time we stopped holding her to a different standard simply because she's a woman who decided to stand up for herself and her record.

On health care, no rival approaches the support Clinton wins from party voters. The 41 percent in Iowa who say she would best improve the country's medical system is double the support for Obama and Edwards, and she boasts even wider leads in New Hampshire and South Carolina. 2) IRAQ WAR - Hillary has double-digit leads over Obama and Edwards in Iowa and New Hampshire when Democrats are asked which candidate would make the wisest decisions about the war. 3) OTHER ISSUES – Hillary leads in all other issues that concern the dem voters. Obama and Edwards haven't taken title to any issues with party voters in the three states, the poll shows, though Obama is close to Clinton on immigration and job creation but the latters are of least importance to the dems voters. 4) CRUCIAL GROUPS SUPPORT - Hillary has amassed strong support among crucial groups including female, older, less-educated and lower-income Democrats _ significant because women and older voters in particular have dominated these primaries and caucuses in the past. Clinton draws the support of nearly half of women in New Hampshire and South Carolina. 5) DEALING WITH OPPOSITON - Hillary knows how to deal with the opposition. 6) BLACK & WHITE SUPPORT - Even among blacks who comprise about half of Democratic primary voters in South Carolina, Obama does no better than break even with Clinton. She offsets that by leading him by three-to-one among the state's whites. There are few black voters in Iowa or New Hampshire. 7) ELECTABILITY - Democrats in each state overwhelmingly call Clinton the Democrat with the best chance of winning the White House.

Her only experience was the 1994 health care debacle, an experience I wouldn't be too proud of. And to those who blame the Republicans for bringing down her health care plan, the Republican majority wasn't inaugurated until January, 1995.

Her leading opponents did just the opposite, lambasting her personally. When she answers her foes by standing up to them, she gets critized for being so mean-spirited and overcome by "stress." This last, not surprisingly, is championed by Obama and his camp. What this says is that Obama is in favor of continuing in the same vein as the "swiftboaters" and partisan politics in general. This is so unlike the person who began his campaign, and it's hard to believe this personal-destruction trait of his will get him elected. His talk about representing "change" in Washington leadership has done a 360 turn from his original message. He should know that his tactics are seen only as continuing the status quo in partisan politics, and his message is probably by now, hopelessly lost. Hillary, by far, is the most qualified, dignified and experienced in the qualities needed to bring about real change in leadership as president. Somehow Obama, no matter how well he "speaks," has now lost his way, and the good folks in Iowa and New Hampshire will respond to this in the weeks to come.

He does have the talent and judgment we need. I'm not against Clinton. Obama is just so much better it isn't even close. On health care, his plan is much more likely to win support and it will cover the people who currently can't afford health insurance. On national security, he understands we need to talk with the rest of the world and lead by example rather than threaten people to do what we want or else. On issue after issue he has laid out detailed plans for everyone to study (see his campaign web site). Everyone knows what his policies will be and what he would do as president. That is why people are turning to him and away from those who claim experience, but don't show any benefit from having had it. On ethics reform, he is a leader. Clinton is shooting herself in the foot here. Amazing. Obama has won me over. He does have the talent and judgment we need.

What is wrong is wrong-even Obama supporters should agree. Also, wasn't it Obama who claimed that he would run a non-attack, non-dirty campaign. Seems like he's the one who started this, and no one can see that, but now that Senator Clinton's campaign has started unvieling some of the Obama bs, everyone's claiming Clinton to not keep the promise. Can I ask everyone to treat all candidates fairly. If not then, Obama takes the blame for starting the attack politics amongst the Democrats this season. Before you all know, Obama will be the most manipulative politician of the 21st century. All his talk is just talk, he does not follow what he preaches.

But from someone who is not voting for either of these two (but if I had to, it would be for Obama hands down), it is funny how she is now FORCED to change her campaigns direction from running against Bush (who isn't running) to having to FINALLY answer to FELLOW DEMOCRATS. For her to mahe an issue with someones campaign finances is funny as hell as she can't even keep her campaign clean from the USUAL funny YEN. I have made the point for weeks that she and Billyboy still think that it is the 90's and they can LIE (I was always against the Iraq war etc, etc) and nobody will notice, but with the explosion of the blogosphere and the information available, they are "having difficulties" talking out of both sides of their mouths. It would be better for me if she WON the nomination as she has much dirt on her, it would be a breeze, but Obama is a much different story, he actually has character and FRESH IDEAS.
