Will the Real Hillary please stand up

“Shame on You” will those be the only harsh words Hillary Clinton will say about her opponent Barack Obama this campaign. What ever happened to the Clinton machine, who has a history of attacking people who stands in their way. I know in the beginning of her campaign, she wanted to change people’s perception of her. We all know that Hillary’s biggest negative is that people think she is a cold-hearted bi**, that will do anything to win. Then she gets on the Sunday morning news shows and on the campaign trail, laughing, looking happy go luck, actually acting human, showing emotion. Then came the famous tear she shed after her loss in Iowa. People say that this moment helped her win in New Hampshire. It was too little too late. This change of face I believe didn’t help her one bit and might even hurt her worse by now making her seem fake and insincere. Even her win couldn’t stop the tidal wave known as Obama-mania, he overwhelmed crowds with his speeches, calling him today’s Martin Luther King. Barack hasn’t gone negative, nor should he. People responds to his message and if he did go negative, Hillary would definitely attack, going after his inexperience and the lack of substance in his message. Plus, its hard to go negative when both Hillary and him pretty much preach the same message and being on the same side of most of the important issues.

I thought Hillary would go negative and crank up the “Clinton Machine” as soon as she started to lose the delegate count or at least at the debate last week on CNN. No such luck. All we have is three words “Shame on you” , her response over brochures Obama was sending out in Ohio that she claims falsely criticizes her health care agenda. So, what is she waiting for? In this case slinging mud might actually help her by firing up the part of the public that buys into this type of campaigning and it will but Obama on the defensive, a position that he hasn’t been in yet. This could make Obama slip up, exposing some weakness. Instead of speaking about his vision of America, he would have to address real issues like his inexperience and other attacks Hillary might come up with. I find it hard to believe that a person who was made it to Senator for a state like Illinois have no skeletons in the closet, but I might be wrong, he might actually be that clean. The only other theory of why she hasn’t gone negative, is that is that she feels that she can keep it close in Texas and Ohio, might lose a few delegates in these primaries next week but still leaving it a close race. Then she could use her ace in the hole. This would be the delegates from Michigan and Florida that she would like to have seated in full at the convention. If she would go heavily negative, it would tick off the Democratic leadership, who she would need to help win her case. I guess we will have an indication at the debate tonight, this might be the end of the Hillary campaign if she doesn’t wipe the floor with Obama.
