Running like the Opposition

It strikes me at Hillary Clinton is very content to attack Barack Obama on non-issues or misstating his positions. Clinton even has the nerve to say the Michigan and Florida Primaries were fair contests and the delegates need to be seated per the votes. Senator Clinton, like every other Democratic contender, signed a DNC pledge to only campaign in DNC-sanctioned primaries and caucuses. Obama was not on the Michigan ballot, yet Clinton feels the results were fair, because (wait for it) Obama chose not to participate in the primary. She is right in that Obama, like all other candidates, did not participate in a primary the DNC declared null and void, but Clinton's twisted logic seems to be "I'm losing so, the screw the pledge I made to the DNC." Facts aside, Senator Clinton thinks she is being messed over.

Before the first primary, the Clinton Campaign acted and spoke as if the nomination was hers. After the Iowa Caucuses, the campaign pooh-poohed Iowa as a caucus state- unimportant in the nomination process. With the exception of Nevada, Obama does better in the caucuses. Not sure what a caucus is? Check it out. Clinton won a slim victory in the Texas Primary, but seems to have lost the caucus. The net result may be Obama losing the primary vote in Texas, but because of the Two-Step (Primary AND Caucus) gaining a net of +7 delegates. The media has been less than interested in showing those results. The response from the Clinton Campaign is a series of requests to the Texas Democratic Party to delay the Two-Step results.

The whole idea of some super-secret Commander-in-Chief Test is delusional at best, insane at worst. So who gets to take the test, what are the parameters of this exam, who administers and scores it, and lastly who put Hillary in charge of announcing the results? I am amazed at the gall of the Clinton Campaign to announce that Clinton and McCain are tested and ready to assume the role of President of the United States based on this silly yardstick.

To me these are very much Republican tactics.
