OBAMA: NO TIME FOR SLIME (marginalized by Hillary; Obama should make third party run)

NY POST ^ | November 19, 2007 | DAPHNE RETTER

Barack Obama said his recent swipes at Hillary Clinton is a warning he won't stand for "slime politics"......"that's not something I'm gonna accept," he said.

[Liz]

Not exactly love in bloom.

Wouldn’t it be great if he goes the third party route... Hillary will have to get used to that giant sucking sound.

Laura Ingraham was on Fox with the Friends this morning. She talked about the dirty Clinton War Room and the Obama bomb. When asked about the Diamonds-Pearls planted question, Laura acted surprised as if she hadn’t heard. She also said that Obama needs to push that Mrs. Clinton is really “Bush-Lite.” Huh?

hen asked about the Diamonds-Pearls planted question, Laura acted surprised as if she hadn’t heard.

That reminded me of the Jule Sobule song....

That pic looks like a breakup at an 8th grade dance!

Actually I was thinking of Pokemon.

If Obama chooses the third party route, becoming the H. Ross Perot of 2008, he’d better get good bodyguards and steer clear of Fort Marcy Park!

[Non-Sequitur]

It’s be nice to ponder a third party run by Obama that split the Democratic vote but let’s get real here. Obama isn’t that stupid. He knows that a third party run will destroy any chances he would have of a leadership role in a Democrat-controlled Senate and would kill any chance he would ever have of being the Democrat nominee in the future. What Obama WILL do is decline to run with Clinton on the ticket. He WILL campaign his ass off for her so that when she does lose nobody can blame him for the loss. He WILL be re-elected in a landslide in 2010. And he WILL build up political brownie points that will make him the obvious front-runner for the nomination in 2012.

[Verginius Rufus]

Obama stands for nothing except the standard Democrat positions and the idea that he would like to be President. His chances are better if he lets Hillary be the nominee this time (if he is unable to beat her and it is unlikely that he can) and then be the odds-on frontrunner the next time there is no incumbent Democrat President...he’s young enough to wait. So there is no real reason for him to go third party.

[surrey]

Robert Novak was on with the Friends, too. He said that he was told this rumor by someone very close to the Beast, big Dem. operative. Absolutely, positively no contact with any Republicans. That’s always her stratergy....blame the Republicans for what she’s doing.

[Hacklehead]

Since Hellary claims that her opponents attack her because she is a woman (even though no gender based arguments have ever been made), can’t Obama claim that Hellary is attacking him because he is black?

[PGalt]

Barack doesn’t have to take a back seat to the MEGA-MINORITY queen of puke. No 3rd party. C’mon dude. Get up from your assigned seat. Throw her under the bus.

[cubreporter]

Well, let’s see what Obama is really made of and if he won’t stand for these slime politics that the clintins are made of. I hope he stands tall and exposes her for what she really is. If he doesn’t he doesn’t deserve to be up on that stage.

[TomGuy]

Daphne needs a bit more journalism school.

But he went on to suggest that he began to have doubts because Clinton's denial was not immediate.

That last paragraph is confusing. Obama had doubts because the Clinton denial was not immediate? Doubts that the rumor was true? Doubts that the Clintons had dirt on him? [He should know whether there is anything in his past that could be considered dirt.] Doubts that the Clintons planted the story?

[TomGuy]

He folded in the LV debate. He just didn't have enough oomph to take on Hillary. His responses were stumbling and fumbling and rambling. He did not do well in the last debate.

Of course, the task of the LV debate was to rehabilitate Hillary from her bad showing at the previous debate. That is why Carville was at CNN. That is why the undecideds who were called on for spontaneous questions were actually friends/employees/associates of the Clintons and/or Reid.

Ingraham is correct, thats the only viable strategy for lightweight Obama to persue if he wants to win in Iowa.

If Hillary Clinton wins the Iowa primary, the Democrats primary season becomes a month long coronation.

Laura was correct. That said, I don’t think the guy with the big ears, B Hussein Obama, can pull it off. He’s in way way over his head. His rhetorical flourishes would gain him the Chairmanship of the NAACP, but not the DNC nomination.

[cubreporter]

Give him some more time. I think he is revving up realizing he can’t be nice to her. He should go all out..give her back what she gives out. She is NOT likeable nor ELECTABLE. Obama can leave her in the dust.

[Blind Eye Jones]

She’s where she wants: letting Osama and Edwards fight it out over the vice spot.

[Arrowhead1952]

Wouldn’t it be great if he goes the third party route...

One thing for sure, he will have the muSLIME vote wrapped up.

[stevio]

Not being a fan of either, I’d say Osama Obama was dissed big time at the last debate.
