Obama says GOP will have dirt on Clinton
By NEDRA PICKLER -- Associated Press Writer (Published: February 6, 2008)
CHICAGO (AP) Sen. Barack Obama predicted Wednesday that Republicans will have a dump truck full of dirt to unload on Hillary Rodham Clinton if the former first lady wins the Democratic presidential nomination, and said he offers the party its best hope of winning the White House this fall.
At a news conference on the morning after Super Tuesday, Obama offered some pointed advice to members of Congress and other party leaders who will attend the national convention this summer as delegates not chosen in primaries or caucuses.
He said that if he winds up winning more delegates in voting than the former first lady, they "would have to think long and hard about how they approach the nomination when the people they claim to represent have said, 'Obama's our guy,'" he said.
The Illinois senator won primaries and caucuses in 13 states on Tuesday, while Clinton won eight and American Samoa. Obama and Clinton were in a tight race in New Mexico.
Obama said he had won a majority of the 1,681 delegates at stake, although The Associated Press tally showed several hundred yet to be allocated.
Asked about Clinton's recent comment that she would not allow herself to be victimized by the type of Swift Boat-style attacks that were leveled against Sen. John Kerry in the 2004 race, Obama said he had been vetted by his opponent in the nominating campaign.
"I have to just respond by saying that the Clinton research operation is about as good as anybody's out there," he said.

Hillary Clinton recently complained about Obama’s lack of experience; she complained that “he hasn’t done the SPADE work”
If the MSM lets her get away with this blatant bit of racism, then there no dirt that could possibly hurt her. The MSM will spin any new revelations as an attack.
She'll claim that the "rules" have to be followed. LOL, she's the same one who wanted to abolish the Electoral College.
It will be delicious to watch her try to have it both ways.
Sometimes I get the feeling Obama’s slicker than her husband (in how he treats her) and she gets caught like a deer in the headlights.
Swift boat attacks mentioned. yep, tell the truth about Hildabeast
Absolutely nothing that might come out about the Billery will surprise me - it’s all old news, been there, seen that. What galls me is that Hussein Obama is getting a free ride as Mr. Clean.
Ya think?
Is Huma Abedin Her Heinous?
Is Huma Abedin Her Heinous?
Well it isn’t too hard to find. You only have to be a sane person to know it’s true.
Bad-a Ping!
There will be a lot of dirt thrown in this election, but I don't think there will be any group effort like the Swift Boat Veterans and POWs. Their movement was grassroots, and the dirt in this election will be orchestrated from the top down.
