Perhaps, but that last sentence is a head scratcher.
I’m sure he said something after that sentence , but the article cut it off there . It was poorly written .
Just another attempt at making Fred sound bad .
I took the intention of his comment to mean encouraging Republicans to strategize how best to beat the Democrat running (whether it’s Hillary or someone else).
Even Duncan Hunter needs to do that. Any Republican running for POTUS right now needs to do that.
I know where DH stands on the issues, but I don’t know how he plans on winning.
Could be the author of the article more that what Fred said. Sounds to me like she left out the meaning in the form of the rest of what Fred said as the article ends right there.
Of course it could be her gushing and fawning over Obama...
Obama's star power shows on N.H. visit
Ill. senator tests possible '08 run

MANCHESTER, N.H. -- Barack Obama , a national political newcomer with an uncomplicated message of hope and promise, won standing ovations from enthusiastic crowds yesterday as he tested the New Hampshire landscape for support for a 2008 Democratic presidential run.
Not really [a head scratcher]. It is better to be FOR something than AGAINST something. Show people the principles that conservatives stand for and what we would do, as we did in the Contract with America. Instead of running against the bogeywoman [we’re better than she is]. That attracts more voters.
Boston Globe probably did some creative editing with this anyway.
What is so hard to figure about that?
