I am beginning to think Hilary is going to lose.

LOL. The fight has not even started and she is already playing the Muslim card, which will be adamantly denied, possibly in this fashion:

"No one on my team is questioning Mr. Obama's loyalty. The fact that he is a Muslim, raised in a Madrassa should not even be mentioned. I think it is deplorable that you would even ask that because he is a MUSLIM raised in MADRASSA, if he should even be elected.

I want to assure the American people that it is up to them to decide if they want a MUSLIM for President, one educated in a MADRASSA

I for one will not even mention this in my campaign.

Thouht Obama was from a Black Christian Church of the very liberal tradition type.

If that is the Beast, this is a lame effort at best. Hillary's people must have something much better than this.

LOL. James Carville did just that in one of the campaigns he ran in the early 1990's. It was related in his book which I read several years ago. It may have been Wofford's campaign for Pennsylvania Governor, but I am really not sure.

Anyway, the Republican opponent had smoked marijuana as a young man or something, and the Carville's client had promised not to use it in the campaign. Wofford was behind by three or four points, and over the weekend his campaign released an attack ad with weird sitar music and sort of a hazy hue. It didn't actually mention the demon weed, but it didn't have to.

Then Carville held a press conference in which he spoke about how Wofford "was a man of honor, who keeps his promises, and has said that his opponents use of marijuana will not become a factor in this campaign. Marijuana will not be used as an issue." Or something to that effect. The race shifted over the weekend and they won. While the tactics are rather shifty I confess it made me laugh.
