Campaign Advice for the Dems…
March 25th, 2008 . by MartyAs all eyes turn toward Pennsylvania, for the upcoming Democratic primary, the GOP is enjoying watching the internecine party battle between Clinton and Obama supporters. From Pennsylvania Avenue:
The Republican National Committee gleefully pointed our attention Tuesday to what they see as hopeful a sentence in a recent Rasmussen Reports poll on the Democratic race.
To quote Rassmussen: “If Obama wins the Democratic nomination, just 55% of Clinton voters say they are even somewhat likely to vote for him against John McCain. That’s down two points from 57%.
If Clinton is the nominee, just 55% of Obama voters say they are at least somewhat likely to vote for her against McCain. That’s down nine points from 64%.”
For months, the Democratic lovefest enjoyed watching the circular firing squad of the Republican primary contenders (having had a spot in the trenches with the Giuliani camp, I can tell you it was pretty bloody), but now the GOP is all love and rainbows and McCain ponies. And so it should be. (we’ll save our bitterness for the inevitable convention platform fight and deciding who gets to speak in prime time… as if people still watch anything in prime time anymore).
Speaking of warzones and frontlines, poor Hillary has her Bosnia oops to atone for while Obama is still trying to figure out how to get out from under the Rev. Wright’s shadow (hint: distract people by pointing out that your supporter Jeffrey Hart is funny with the Jews - if history is any lesson, the only thing that will distract the MSM from a good racial witchhunt is a good anti-semitic one).
