tells the truth? are you kidding me? where have you been? mccain change position on just about everything he ever believed in before he started running for president!do you know that he even voted against 2 bills that have his name on it?he proposed the bills before the pres. campaign and now he votes against his own bill! pathetic!
Polls change... If you know anything about politics, and Obama pulls well in the other states that you don't mention. Political Analyst will tell you not to trust the polls right now and not to use them for the general election.
Hillary's lieing to her people...She knows her gimmick won't pass and she know's Bush would never push a capital gains tax ion the oil companies, not on his/Cheney's watch. But as we all know she'll do anything for a vote. She's talking to people as if they were children.......And counting on them to vote like children....
You could just as well state that Clinton is only ahead if she manages to win cleanly. Well unless she wins the coming primaries with 40 point margins (70-30) she is just not going to get it. How is see going to win without the new young voters, independents that have McCain as a good alternative and a disillusioned black vote who will likely end up supporting her but might not show up in numbers that makes her win it?
Good for her. I can find polls that Obama wins PA with 9 points. People need to vote for a candidate based on their conviction, not based on polls that can change with 5-10 points daily and depending on the organization that is doing the polling. That will at least secure that the one that really has the most support is the candidate. It makes it more likely that the motivation to vote is there.
Ok As A True Texan Here..... I Voted For Obama For Alot Of Reasons....Its Time For A Change Im Tired Of The Crooked Goverment We Have Now And Obama Has The Life Experince To Make A Change After All He Has Been Doing It His Whole Life From A Kid To Now He Knows Our Struggles He Knows What Its Like To Have To Make Something Out Of Nothing He Had To Come From The Ground Up Rather Than Having Everything Giving To Them Like Hillary Is Even Trying To Do Now By Using Her Husband
there's a lot of time between now and november. I don't think there's much behind those polls. The polls I care about is the popular vote on the democratic primary, which Obama is winning, and not by a small margin.
Having invested more of my soul and money in this campaign than all other political ventures in my life, my two cents finds this ad itself to be the low road. I believe in "disagree without being disagreeable" but I don't see it here.
It saddens me to say but the only way Obama is going to win through against Clinton's cheap political campaigning is by taking the same measures.
He's clearly been trying to be honest and fair all along, but sadly, our modern world is so consumed with negative imagery and fear we are more comfortable with these concepts over hope and truth.
Fingers crossed this tactic will pay off and Obama will get a chance to bring in some of that change he's been chatting about, I'm about ready for it.
Obama was asked in an interview about getting tougher when Hillary comes out calling him elitist, and out of touch. He said "in the school yard, I was taught that the bully was not really the stronger one.
Obama is criticized either way. I sent my money in to Obama because he needs to win. If he is in the dirt in the race and it starts raining, then he better get his hands dirty and sling a little mud.
I like this ad because it talks about the issues and really just presents facts. Every economist knows that her gas tax holiday will not be effective at lowering prices for consumers. The oil companies will just gobble up the even more profits.
What are you people talking about! HES JUST STATING FACTS!!! Hillary has been messing up the Dem. Party with her negative point of views/Commercials/COMMENTS! I cant believe she still has supporters..but then again people dont see the bigger picture and fail to see the truth in the true ones. GO OBAMA!
You know what - this spot isn't nearly as tough on HC as it should have been. I know BO is trying to walk a fine line, but when you're the only one playing by the rules, it's time to admit the rules have changed. I've seen tougher spots against Clinton on YouTube than I've seen from his spots on TV. His campaign treats all the TV viewers as if theyre geniuses, and that's not the case.
He's gonna lose b/c of lack of fight not b/c of Wright, and I won't donate anymore until he gets tough w/her
This is not negative attack or politicking......when you attack ur opponents policies......its ok...its when u attack the person.... that is what is a problem.........GO BARACK
There is still more truth and accuracy in this then any of Hillary's adds. Also, this may be a bit harsh coming from Obama's camp, but it is a long stretch to call this negative.
Great Ad! Obama. You have a duty to point out her flaws. We need to be protected from having another LIAR who appears to be a pathological one in the office. These are serious times, peoples children are being sent to war based on LIES. I was sorry to see you protect her on the sniper fire Bosnia LIE during the ABC debate. Don't protect her anymore. Continue to speak the truth. Love Ya
This is what flies for a negative add these days? Give me a break, this is much more positive then any of Clinton's adds. Also, the quotes used are both recent AND relevant, something Clinton's never are. However, we all know how negative Hillary has been, you should be using adds to tell the voters about the plans you have for the country. We all know the media isn't. But, it is nice to see you have the balls to fight back in kind, even if it isn't that forceful.
The latest Zogby daily tracking telephone poll shows.
The survey of likely Democratic Party primary voters shows that in North Carolina, Obama leads with 48% support, compared to 40% for Clinton and 13% either undecided or preferring someone else. In Indiana, Obama is nursing a tiny lead of two points, winning 44% support, compared to 42% for Clinton and 15% unsure or wanting someone else.
Its about time his campaign did this! True, it's negative politics, BUT Clinton has done it soooo many times, I don't blame him. I would suspect any TRUE Obama supporter wouldn't blame him either! Obama '08'.
There is a difference between mudslinging and defending yourself, Barack can't just let Hillary say what she wants and get away with it. I wish Hillary would just drop out while she still has some honor and not drag this out till the convention, Because McCain is having a field day with us still fighting over who will run for president.
this is totally NOT negative politicking! this ad states the FACTS. i used to admire Hillary Clinton, especially on her Health Care plans- but when i saw Barack Obama on Cspan last year, I've never been more inspired to actually MAKE a DIFFERENCE. I still remember his words to this day:
"its not about money, fame or power- its about how useful we are to our families and our community".
Yes! Senator Clinton's been swiftboating Senator Obama, with MSM's chorus of cheers, for weeks. Her and her surrogates recent personal attacks on Senator Obama have way over the line.
This isn't "negative politicking." He's simply pointing out the truth: She voted for a war that she shouldn't have voted for (she even regrets it now), which amplifies his good judgement. Also, Mr. Obama speaks to us as if we're grown and in doing so, he tells us the truth!
I know that his campaign calls for no tricky politics but you can't just stand there and let someone throw mud at you. Sometimes you have to throw it back!! It makes you look weak if you don't!!! I'm glad that he's fighting back! He will be a strong president!!
This is not mudslinging. This is responding to mudslinging with facts. Facts aren't always comfortable. They are, however, facts.
Nobody, nobody, can call Barack for mudslinging. Just look at what Hillary is throwing at him. An ad featuring Osama? What more do you want? Barack has every right to put these ads out, it's called defending yourself and your position with facts. Do you really want a president who just folds, takes all the rubbish, and doesn't respond?
I wish this mudslinging didn't have to happen. Unfortunately, you can't just let Hillary keep hurling mud at Barack without Barack refuting the things she says. At least when Barack "attacks" he attacks policy and he attacks underhanded tactics. He hasn't gone personal the way Hillary has. He hasn't tried to destroy her image and her electability. I'm extremely sick of Hillary and disappointed in her.
I wish Obama and his advisors would just ignore Clinton and keep her out of Obama ads and speeches. She's just trying to stir up controversy and nonsense because it's all she has left. She can't win the nomination, so instead of acknowledging her as if she still poses a threat, let's give her the silent treatment until she's officially knocked out of the running on June third.
Take it as you see it, it's factual information about the Hilary if you don't like it maybe your a republican, Or maybe just an idiot. I don't know, all i know is barack obama is always truthfull and stands for the people.
It's not negative politicking. It's responding to negative attacks slung at him. Obama's new politics don't mean that you just take every insult lying down. Come on, people.
BrettMeyers-- No, this isn't a negative ad. I'm glad he has finally started to defend himself and respond to the attacks on him. You say you don't know who to support--are you thinking of supporting Clinton? She has been doing almost pure negative attacks for many months.
If you were his "staunch" supporter and all it takes is a truth ad to cause you to question your support? Especially after watching the media assasination attemps? You clearly weren't much of a supporter.
I agree that it is negative, and that is why I am slightly disappointed in him, among other things. The difference is that his ads tell the truth and aren't simply republican tactics in a donkey suit.
What?????? ARe you kidding me??? He is attacking the message and not the messenger. Did he once question her patriotism? did he attack her personally? NO that would be negative. Attacking the message is the right way to politic.
GO OBAMA!!!
