Hillary Clinton Launches New Obama Attack Strategy
1 comment December 23rd, 2007
Hillary Clinton’s initial anti-Obama barbs appear to have backfired. However, if nothing else, the Clinton political machine is resilient. Hillary’s PR operatives seem to have brought a new, far more subtle and sophisticated method of assaulting Barack Obama. Rather than doing it directly, the media is doing the job for the Clintons.
In the last few days, The New York Times and Associated Press have come out with major stories, seeking to portray Obama as weak, afraid to take a stand, and who has frequently changed political positions. The New York Times, for example, featured a front-page story that waxes on how often Obama voted “present” in the Illinois legislature, suggesting he was afraid to vote “yes” or “no.” The AP story shows Obama as having a self-contradictory political record.
We can all see where Hillary is going with this. The Clinton campaign will now be able to quote from the supposedly objective media in future attacks on Obama, while keeping their own hands out of the mud. Hillary Clinton is not going to permit Obama a free ride towards spoiling her nominating coronation, and it appears that referring to the media attacking Obama is a much smoother but no less confrontational evolution of the battle Hillary Clinton is waging against her primary Democratic nemesis.
