  • Obama Attacks: Caricaturing and Attacking Sen. Clinton using the standard right-wing attack memes: Her "Negatives", "Divisiveness", Alleged Inability to Work with Republicans December 2007: Sen. Obama explicitly questions Sen. Clinton's electability using approval ratings and her negatives (he's of course done this on many occasions) January 2008: Sen. Obama paints Sen. Clinton as divisive and questions whether people who vote for him will vote for her in the general election. In using this tactic, Sen. Obama effectively adopted a longtime Republican and corporate media talking point used against Sen. Clinton - one that will be particularly damaging to her in a general election setting, coming from a fellow Democrat. February 2008: Sen. Obama talks up Sen. Clinton's negatives by falsely caricaturing her as a person whose "natural inclination is to draw a picture of Republicans as people who need to be crushed and defeated" and then adds about himself "I'm not a person who believes any one party has a monopoly on wisdom" -- http://www.openleft.com/showDiary.do?diaryId=4238
