Sarcasm in a political campaign?  Interesting.

Clinton throws a couple of light weight punches at Obama.  Obama supporters have a heart attack and race to the aid of their Candidate scolding Clinton in the process.

Talking Heads on Sunday political show, opining about how Clinton can't get away with criticizing her opponent because it makes her look like a [their reference] b****.

One talking head says, "If I were Hillary I would ask Obama what is hopeful about him missing 177 votes, many on crucial issues."

The other talking head, laughs and responds:  "Don't worry, the Republicans will be bringing this up."

Catch my drift.  Better, Hillary should give Obama a test run now, so we can see how the young man stands up to a pounding.  Cause, if he is our candidate, he is going to get a fierce pounding from the Republicans.  You know, Hussein, the unpatriotic drug addict, et cetera, et cetera.

And if Obama wants to be our candidate he needs to start doing some outreach to Clinton supporters because he is going to need each and every one of us.  

When I heard Michelle Obama say that if Hillary was our candidate she would have to think long and hard before she could cast a vote for Hillary, I said, "Wrong Answer.  You are not a team player and the party is much bigger than you will ever be."

If you really tear apart Obama's language, word by word, a good 10 percent of it just doesn't make any sense.  It sounds great, but under scrutiny it doesn't make sense.

I'm from Illinois and know this politician (Obama) a little better than the Hillary-clones...

God, why can't HC just be a better candidate and not have her friggin' finger in the wind... her campaign has been incredibly inconsistent.

And her sarcasm makes her look truly classless...

Here's the BIG problem, HT...

If a MAN did the same thing, he'd get negative press and would immediately be labeled "two-faced."

I'm a man, and I know when a woman is acting like a B****.... first her husband plays the race card before South Carolina (good cop/bad cop)... now, after "playing nice" in the most recent debate and saying she was honored to be on the same stage as Obama, she whines a day or two later about "Karl Rove" tactics, gives that SHAME-ON-YOU Obama thing...then does a sarcastic parody of one his inspiring speeches... makes me wanna look back and re-examine that New Hampshire "cry"... was this "poll driven"?

Which Hillary will we see in tomorrow night's debate?  Or are we getting into Sybil territory here?  [:O]

***IMO, she shoulda fired Mark Penn weeks ago... a guy who could never see the forest for the trees...

It's a classic case of a failing candidate throwing anything and everything against a wall and seeing whether any one thing sticks.

Frankly, I'm shocked with how poor of a campaign Hillary has run. It seems to me that she had no plan at all after Super Tuesday. She keeps claiming she has more experience, but it's Obama's campaign that has seemed more seasoned and disciplined.

Ditto on Mark Penn needing to be fired. Hillary also should have fired Patti Solis Doyle, who concealed the campaign's financial woes at a critical time.

I think by last September most everyone figured it would be a race between Rudy and Hillary.  Rudy vanished like a fart in the wind, and this has not been the coronation Hillary expected.  

Personally, I think the extended contest from Dec. '06 till now has worked against her.  She's had too much face time in the press, too much time to turn off people who weren't already turned off by her.

I really do think that is a serious issue Americans should be concerned with- congressmen and women should have to give up their post to run for higher office.  Obama has purposely not voted on some issues which might have affected his bid for president.

The more I think of his absenteeism since last June, the more I dislike him.  I'd been willing to consider him with an open-mind.  I think I'll pass.  All he's been concerned with since the '04 convention was becoming the Democrat nominee in '08, not being the good and humble public servant he's been paid to be for the last three years.

At least Hildog and McCain have been showing up for their day job more than Obama, and haven't been afraid to vote on significant bills.

Sorry, he was against spending trillions on a worthless (Bushco not included) war.

That's paramount.

You seem like you're trying to find reasons to dislike him rather than pushing for unification and renewal.

If all else fails sue a relative.....

I think the Clinton campaign has jumped the shark.  Next Tuesday may confirm that.

The Drudge Report warms to the Clinton camp, or is it vice versa?

"Clinton is learning to play nice with the Drudge Report and the powerful, elusive and conservative-leaning man behind it."

Hard to imagine how bad of President Shillary would be.

It's not so much offensive what she did, it is just undignified.  Sarcasm is generally not a political tool unless you are brushing off an attack.  

Coupled with the Somali Obama picture I'd say she hit the panic button.
