Obama, Edwards Fall For Clinton Trap At Las Vegas Debate
1 comment November 15th, 2007
Hillary Clinton already has the Democratic nomination locked up, even if she loses the Iowa caucus. Now her priority is to grab a win in Iowa, and end the Democratic primaries early. The key to this is positioning her two main Democratic rivals, Barack Obama and John Edwards, as bullies picking on the lady. On November 15 in Las Vegas, these two rivals charged remorselessly into a trap laid by Hillaryland.
From right out of the same creative laboratory as the “vast right-wing conspiracy,” Hillary Clinton accused Obama and Edwards of slinging mud, “right out of the Republican playbook.”
That line, obviously non-spontaneous, was rehearsed and designed for the opening that the Clinton political machine knew would be offered. Edwards and Obama were gracious enough to willingly oblige. Obama compounded his error by repeating Clinton’s mistake in her waffled answer on granting drivers licenses to illegal immigrants in the previous debate by doing his own tap-dancing on the same question.
Each candidate’s corps of spin-masters will present to the media their explanation as to why their paymaster won the debate. This is really irrelevant. Few American voters are actually watching these debates. Far more important are the images that flow from the debates onto follow-up news coverage and YouTube videos. In Iowa, Hillary Clinton will now be able to focus her campaign on her being the inevitable nominee who is above the fray, while her bad-boy Democratic opponents are behaving like mud-slinging Republicans.
Obama and Edwards, welcome to the vast right-wing conspiracy.
