So far, Obama has done a fair job of defending his positions and correcting the record, while keeping his campaign message on the high road. As a result, Obama's starting to look like a political coward.

Isn't it time to take a jab at the Clintons? Really hit 'em hard with what will hurt them most - their own divisive words. It could be done through surrogates, but wouldn't it be nice to see it come from the campaign itself?  

I would propose taking swing after swing through the week leading up to February 5. One new attack a day, alongside all of the positive stories of Obama's unique story and his inspirational message. All of the attacks should document themselves, with video footage of Hill and Bill contradicting themselves. Remind us of the ugliness of politics in the 90's with the Clintons at the helm, Hillary's poll-driven decision-making, her record on the Iraq war. All should pass the most stringent Truth-Squad type analysis. It shouldn't be that hard to find the needed material, considering the political histories of the Clintons.

I think the "media narrative" could change in a big way if Obama goes on offense. Most importantly, it will make it all more interesting to the media, as they love controversy. The pundits all love a good fight and they're all anxious, like a pack of rabid wolves, ready to get behind the presumptive winner and yearning for blood. We've seen this lately and Obama has been portrayed as the "victim," and therefore the "loser."

We need to shift the narrative. She has shown herself to be a ruthless fighter. Time to take off the gloves...

Well, this year in Nevada we got a chance to move our caucuses up earlier, becoming the first western state to participate in the primary process. So the state party set out to do whatever they could to increase participation by rank and file party members. As part of this, they put the caucuses on a Saturday morning and, to accommodate the high concentration of unionized party members in Las Vegas who work in the massive hotels and casinos, they established nine "At-Large" caucus sites right on the Vegas strip so that people working at the time of the caucuses could participate. They made arrangements with management and the Unions for the workers to be able to take the time and participate in the democratic process without having to go all the way to their home precincts and participate there. And everybody involved thought it was a great idea. Even all of the candidates.

Now this: See this story...

Since Hillary didn't win the coveted Culinary Workers Union endorsement in Nevada, she's working through the Teachers Union as a surrogate to have the at-large caucus sites on the Las Vegas strip, which were designed for these 24/7 employees to be able to participate, shut down so they can't.

The lawsuit is bullshit and it will hopefully be tossed because the identified victims (janitors opening up schools for use as caucus sites) are free to participate in the caucus being held at that school as long as it is too far away from their designated caucus site (near their homes) to get there on time. Basically, in the Nevade Dem caucuses, if you show up at the wrong site, you will not be turned away as long as you're in the right county.

She really does play by the Rove playbook, doesn't she? She's determined to win, regardless of how many bridges she has to burn gettiing there.
