They don't get much stranger than this

(And, as an aside, propaganda is also only skin deep, as "The Hunt For Bush" proves.)

Well, the behavior of the Clinton campaign in the last few weeks has been bothering me a bit, but this puts it over the top. Hence the rant.

And I've long believed that the difference between propaganda and publicity is the same as that between terrorists and freedom-fighters (with a hat-tip to Ronald Reagan).

I'm not quite sure I follow Hillary's idea here. Why in the world would she chose a person who UNsuccessfully tried to keep her and Bill out of the white house. I mean come on, I could maybe see the benefit if the man had a track record of success but he couldn't keep Bill out, so what in the would makes her think that he could stop Barack. I also think that is strange the the far right views Barack as a larger threat than Hillary because it looks to me that Barack is a more moderate candidate then Hillary, but who knows maybe they think that they can beat her in the election???

Because even wounding an opponent beats doing nothing at all.

Between his popularity, his fundraising abilities, and his lack of scandal, it seems pretty obvious to me that Obama is the more "electable" Democratic. The only area where Hillary has him beat is in experience, and it can be argued that the difference between the two isn't that much.

If Hillary runs, the Republicans can easily mobilize their voters just by dredging up the same unfounded rumors and anti-Clinton sentiment they built up during the '90s. They'll certainly do their worst against Obama, but given a choice it's obvious they'd rather run against her. I seriously doubt Rush Limbaugh is telling his liseners to vote for Hillary in the primaries because he suddenly likes her...
