Analysis: Clinton could turn toxic as options dry up
The Wisconsin defeat for Hillary Clinton means that she has to win big on March 4 - and may campaign more negatively
A few months back, as Barack Obama’s campaign was just beginning to look like it might seriously challenge Hillary Clinton’s presidential ambitions, a senior Obama campaign official sent a warning to his staff.
It was a succinct message designed to forewarn and forearm his people against what was expected to be a ferocious onslaught from an increasingly desperate Clinton campaign.
“Better get your hazmat suits on”, the memo told them
Mrs Clinton is running out of options. There’s a growing sense that she may now choose to go aggressively negative. She is under pressure from some in her campaign to step up the attacks on Mr Obama, especially over his inexperience.
The Clinton campaign may need to reach deeper into the negative campaigning armoury if they are to have any chance. They will doubtless be looking at Mr Obama’s remarkably low negative ratings in polls and wondering how they can push them up.
Until now the danger has been that negative attacks could backfire. That is a risk that will probably now have to be taken, even if it damages the Democratic party as a whole. The Clintons have only a matter of days to save their lifelong aspirations. They will not give them up without a fight.

Is she going to don her flame retardant pantsuit first?
Seriously, I hope that she and Bill end up stealing the nomination.
I honestly hope she gives an Arkancide order and it gets recorded and turned over to the MSM.
Hillary Should tread very carefully, Tommorrow is Court day for her Fraud Trial!
ABC 20/20 Corroborates Peter Paul Against Hillary ClintonSeven years ago Peter Paul began whistleblowing to the government and alerting the media of numerous illegalities committed by Hillary and Bill Clinton in order to win Hillary’s first election to public office. The multi-million dollar donor to Hillary’s Senate campaign that caused Hillary’s finance director to be indicted and tried in May, 2005, for hiding his contributions, and whose complaint to the FEC resulted in a finding that Hillary’s campaign broke the law resulting in the only FEC fine imposed against Hillary’s campaign, will begin the discovery process leading to a trial in Los Angeles later this year of the Clintons and others for destroying Paul’s public company.
The Case Management Conference hearing in Paul v Clinton et al on February 21, in Los Angeles Superior Court will finally set a trial date in the long delayed civil fraud case and it will set a schedule for discovery that will include the sworn depositions of the entire Clinton family and the Clinton hierarchy of the Democratic Party.
While Hillary Clinton has NEVER personally denied Paul’s numerous allegations of illegalities directed by Hillary, her campaign and lawyers have regularly labeled Paul a liar. A review of all statements made by Paul and by Hillary’s paid stooges shows just the opposite. In fact, Paul’s allegations that his $1.2 million in donations were hidden by Hillary’s campaign have been corroborated by the Justice Department, FBI and FEC General Counsel- while the lying has been done by the Clinton appointed Judge in the Rosen trial, Hillary’s lawyer David Kendall who maintained Hillary’s campaign filed accurate reports until the campaign admitted hiding more than $720,000, and her lawyer Lyn Utrecht in false statements made to the FEC General Counsel denying Paul’s contribution of $1. The complete record corroborating who the real liars are can be found at the Hillary Clinton Accountability Project site.

I am sure that President Clinton would offer a job to the nice black guy.
As much as we wold all like to see Hillary lose the Peter Paul case, it isn’t going to happen.
We knew she would. I’m just surprised she hasn’t turned on the vitriol spewing fire hoses before now............
Hillary is depending on the super delegates to give her the nomination. Her campaign will try to make the case that Obama is only beating her because Republicans are crossing up and “mucking up” her coronation. She will insist that the super delegates make things right and give her the nomintion that the Clintons are entititled to.
Similar numbers were evident, and the same things said, when Dukakis won the nod in '88. Repubs don't turn out in the primaries as big as the Dems do...........
If that happens, all hell will break loose in the convention......
Wrong the peter paul case is happening, wake up before you post. The status hearing is in the AM Feb 21, that means forward we will go and watch Hillary and Bill squirm for weeks to come over the fraud they committed.
The Hollywood Elite and Demorat boys will have to testify and gove deps,(depostions) while her campign goes dwon the drain!
It would be much more advantageous for her and Bill to actually get the nomination, through nefarious means, pssing off a large portion of their base.
Do not be fooled by the numbers. According to that logic Obama would win Virginia, which is not going to happen. The discrepancey in voters is the result of Republicans crossing over to vote against Clinton because McCain has basically been the nonimee for weeks.
Beer? Check.
Popcorn? Check.
Carry on.
This is exactly why Clintoon would be a horrible president (I mean besides being married to the impeached former president and accused rapist Bill)
She gets into a hole and then starts digging
Imiagine how that would work when her disastrous health care big governmenrt scheme was in place.
Yeah, too many here are too eager to sing
“ding dong the witch is dead”
without seeing the bigger strategic picture.
