People are fooled by them including our MSM. This bullshit isn’t some oopsy daisy mistake. It is calculated and everything they know how to do. If I’m correct under Bill they were the first to have a 24 hour “war room” during election season.
We don’t need another President that does this bullshit
get off the Hillary band wagon please, God please before it is too late.

Nope. Planting questions goes at least as far back as Lee Atwater.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_Atwater#Career
The Clintons saw Atwater kick Dukakis’s butt while Dukakis failed to respond to attacks, and they vowed not to get creamed by more Willie Horton style ads.
The War Room was invented by Carville, who understood that negative attacks had to be rebutted in the same news cycle.
Planting questions sucks, but the War Room is a necessity. If Kerry had a better War Room we might be out of Iraq by now (I said “might.”)

Huh? So you do not want a 24 hour war room to respond to the thousands of Republican lies that are spread every second?
No thanks, DV.
Whether our candidate is Edwards, Hillary or Obama, I want a rapid response team in place. I want our candidate’s campaign to respond instantly to attacks, and not wait for months like John Kerry.
I like Hillary and would have no problem voting for her in the general election. I have not decided to vote for her or anyone else yet in the primary (except to say that I may vote for Biden to give him hometeam support).
And if you think Edwards or Obama are not calculating, you are naive.

If the choices are Rudy and Hillary, I know where I’m voting.
November 13, 2007 at 7:04 pm
The Choices will not be Rudy and Hillary.
November 13, 2007 at 8:52 pm
The choices will be Rudy or Romney and Hillary. It will come down to Romney’s early state approach vs. Rudy’s Feb 5th approach.
November 13, 2007 at 9:24 pm
…and then Hillary will take all in the end.
November 13, 2007 at 9:32 pm
Agree. Hey, Mike Matthews and I agree on something. Alert the media.
November 13, 2007 at 9:44 pm
On fact we can agree. Hillary will trounce any of those lightweights any day. I can’t stand the conniving, convoluted bitch, but I can face reality.
November 13, 2007 at 9:53 pm
Keep an open mind.
November 14, 2007 at 8:05 am
LOL. So we can’t say a bad word about Republicans in your world, but you can call Hillary a bitch. I love the “purist progressive” mind. So hypocritical.

Dem,
You’re stretching a point I made a week ago. REALLY STRETCHING> Obviously, you haven’t read my stuff over the past three years. I’ve certainly been less kind to Republicans. But, the fact of the matter is, Hillary’s a bitch.
