CLINTON: 





As predicted, columnists are using the Sopranos spoof to do some Clinton analysis.&amp;nbsp; Here's Peggy Noonan: "So, the Sopranos spoof wasn't bringing up That Which Must Not Be Said. It was saying it and getting rid of it.

She's usually smarter than this. Listen GOPers, the Clintons want you to analyze the Soprano angle of that video. That's why its there... hoping y'all will bite. Because when you do, it looks really silly. Its a funny video, not attacking anyone and seemingly to independents innocuous and cute. And when independents see you draw some &amp;quot;lessons&amp;quot; from it about Clinton's &amp;quot;criminal&amp;quot; inclinations, it just makes you look really dumb. Really dumb... even someone who isn't like Peggy Noonan. You actually are innoculating them against your later negative attacks. And this was all by design. Clinton knows she's a lightning rod. She knows if nominated she'll inspire yet another big-time negative campaign. Her defense is to make the negativity look over-the-top and downright silly. And attacking this video is both.</description></item><item><title>Oh-eight (D): Paging Dr. Melfi!</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/06/22/233067.aspx#233140</link><pubDate>Fri, 22 Jun 2007 14:01:30 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:233140</guid><dc:creator>lyn</dc:creator><description>My apologies for two things one the misspelling of &amp;quot;doesn't&amp;quot; and two, the direction to the Peggy Noonan article. &amp;nbsp;I suggest if any one wants to know the REAL Hillary &amp;nbsp;check out the article &amp;nbsp;and the &amp;quot;HIT JOB&amp;quot; site the Clintons have set up at Hillaryis44.org. &amp;nbsp;Bloggers should have a field day with this one. &amp;nbsp;Thanks guys for bringing it to our attention</description></item><item><title>Oh-eight (D): Paging Dr. Melfi!</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/06/22/233067.aspx#233179</link><pubDate>Fri, 22 Jun 2007 14:24:07 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:233179</guid><dc:creator>Paul Miller, Woodbridge, VA</dc:creator><description>Ah, I apologize to Noonan.

I really hate to agree with Jerry, lol, but you ain't see nuthin' yet. If nominated, she would face a withering, persistant attack on a wide variety of issues. They'll try to paint her as controlling, manipulative and sneaky. Like most political attack campaigns, there will be a mix of truth and hyperbole. And with her high negatives, which primarily come down to a sense that she can't be trusted and a sense she's a touch more socialistic than folks are comfortable with, those attacks will resonate. Look at it this way - her negatives are hard numbers. Folks who don't trust won't vote for her, period. This means whatever negative campaign the Republicans launch only has to steer a few percentage points (as in 3-4 percent) of voters away from her. Its an easy thing to do. She isn't mathematically unelectable, but in practical terms, she is unelectable. Nominating her would be political suicide for the Democrats - a great squandering of the surest non-incumbent presidential cycle I can think of.</description></item><item><title>Oh-eight (D): Paging Dr. Melfi!</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/06/22/233067.aspx#234880</link><pubDate>Mon, 25 Jun 2007 19:09:28 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:234880</guid><dc:creator>H P Boston</dc:creator><description>Steve Turner you are a clear thinking man!&lt;br&gt; As a woman who never supports or believes in any MANS religion or trusts any MANS goverment I demand better.&lt;br&gt;It is time women step up and change this piss poor aministration and jail these criminals.&lt;br&gt;This is the very best time for Hillary to run for President, the repugs are toast and she can win.&lt;br&gt;The criminals in power now will of course resort to crime again to keep that from happening.&lt;br&gt;We must fight them every inch of the way. </description></item></channel></rss>
