Losing Ground In Iowa, Clinton Assails Obama (And Romney Goes After Huckabee)
Washington Post ^ | 3 December 2007 | By Anne E. Kornblut

Hillary Changes:

Asked directly whether she intended to raise questions about Obama's character, she replied: "It's beginning to look a lot like that."

The Obama campaign quickly fought back, and the candidate himself called the new effort a sign of desperation. A new Des Moines Register poll released Sunday finds Clinton three points behind Obama, within the poll's margin of error, among likely Democratic caucusgoers.

And Romney goes after Huckabee:

As a consequence, Romney has begun to turn his attacks toward Huckabee as he faces the prospect of losing a state that he spent millions to win. That would be a devastating blow to Romney's strategy of minimizing his lackluster performance in national polls by pointing to his enduring strength in Iowa and New Hampshire.

Huckabee said on ABC's "This Week," "That's why there's an excitement about my campaign. It's just not about Mike Huckabee. It's about all those Americans out there who were told what they couldn't do, what they couldn't become."

Building yourself up by tearing someone else down, in the long run, is a dangerous tactic. Conventional wisdom says negative adds work; however, remember there is no Senator Ned Lamont nor is there a President Howard Dean.

Huckabee is a good pro-life liberal.

Jesus, not being a U.S. citizen, would not vote in the election. If he did it would be a violation of law and a felony.

“Asked directly whether she intended to raise questions about Obama’s character, she replied: “It’s beginning to look a lot like that.”

“It” is not her decision, but a matter of circumstances. Next she’ll be talking about herself in the third person, like Bob Dole.

She was quoted this morning as opining on this and ending by saying “now the fun begins”. It was so inappropriate. Reminds me of Morris talking of her “tin ear”. Even the tv talkiing heads were shocked.

So, in other words, He votes Democrat? ;)

Go here:

for more info.

Quick excerpt:

When a reporter asked whether she is suggesting Obama has “issues of character", the New York senator said, “I’m going to let voters make that decision but it’s beginning to look a lot like that. It really is.”

That is a classic Hildabeaste attack. She never actually said she feels Obama has issues of character. She just "suggested" it. Classic!

IMHO, Hillary and her fellow thugs, criminals and assorted lowlifes are really beginning to feel the heat.

The Clinton campaign seems to be in full blown ‘panic mode’ right now for some reason.

It has to be related to their own internal polling data.
