Several Democratic strategists last week urged Clinton to unleash a “charisma offensive” in the new year to counter the saturated media coverage that has helped propel Obama up the polls.

Preposterous!

[AnAmericanMother]

Michelle Obama had previously expressed concern that her husband might be vulnerable to a racist assassination attempt

. . . paranoia, or just a little race-baiting by the reporter?

[spokeshave]

Gravity meets canckle

[TASMANIANRED]

Hillary is about as charismatic as a hemorrhoid , and as likeable as a tarantula.

“charisma offensive”

Instead of just plain old offensive like she is now.

[Flavius]

playing possum so that everyone cheers for the comeback kid

Is this for real....?....

Only thing the clintoon can unleash is an occasional ashtray.

[LdSentinal]

"Charisma Offensive" is code for another face lift.

[oyez]

As Dennis Miller says, Hillery has all the money without the messy trappings of having to earn it.

Why is it the only excitement about Hillery is found at CBS, NBC and CBN?

I can just hear her screeching, strident, atonal voice already...

[AnAmericanMother]

Even Clinton's lame attempts at charisma are offensive. She just doesn't have it.

[Flavius]

it would be cool if they both get the same look

“She doesn’t need to start a war of any kind, but I don’t think she knows how to handle [Obama],” Strother said. “I think they’re preoccupied with it right now.”

The problem with Obama is he is one of the few candidates out there for who Hillary doesn't posses an FBI file. Fortunately for Hillary, his family history has many nasty skeletons in Africa, and they are also Muslim. Obama himself was a Muslim for 25 years, and likely only converted for the convenience of political ambition.

[ilgipper]

she's already began the charisma offensive with her appearance on the View a week or two ago. "We need a mother in the White House" schtick.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

And probably hasn't had any in decades from what I can see.

[gridlock]

Our best result is that Hillary! sucks up all the money, trashes every Democrat opponent, wrecks the Democrat Party in the lead up to Conventions, and then loses. Then the 'Rats can limp across the line and throw up Edwards, Kerry, or a compromised Obama to face the tanned, rested and ready Republican.

[capt. norm]

I can just imagine her in a "charisma offensive"

She has the "offensive" part alright....it's just the "charisma" she is missing and will never had.

You could use Hillary's "charisma", instead of ice, to keep the beer cold.

[doc1019]

Just scares the heck out of me that certain groups of Americans are so obsessed with electing a women president that they would be glomming onto this POS as their candidate!

[gridlock]

Few presidents have been as adept as Clinton at charming ordinary voters, but opinion polls have repeatedly indicated that much of America regards Hillary as cold, calculating, strident and ideological.

On this, much of America is right.

. "Obama himself was a Muslim for 25 years, and likely only converted for the convenience of political ambition"

But....doesn't that place him in jeopardy from any sword wielding islamic?
