That the way to the nomination is to take out the most popular Dem leader since JFK? I don't think this is a place they needed to go. Let's see how the Dem public reacts, but I'm thinking that, just like his comments about "the GOP was the party of ideas in the 90's" and "Ronald Reagan's Presidency was more transformational than Bill Clinton's", someone is giving his campaign very, very bad advice and terrible direction. He should be talking about why and how HE is positively the one who can lead us to "yes we can", and not stoop and drag us to "no, they didn't" or "no, they can't." He has the "yes, we can" deal on the table, he has a huge number of interested buyers, but this is going to alienate more people than bring in new buyers, and close that deal. If his campaign is REALLY behind this, he risks losing my support entirely, and I was set to support him 100% if he was chosen as our candidate. And I don't think I'd be the only one. I will not support Democrats who tear down other Democrats by using demonization and GOP talking points. What in the Hell is the Obama campaign thinking?

I don’t think this is a place they needed to go.

Let’s see how the Dem public reacts, but I’m thinking that, just like his comments about “the GOP was the party of ideas in the 90’s” and “Ronald Reagan’s Presidency was more transformational than Bill Clinton’s”, someone is giving his campaign very, very bad advice and terrible direction.

He should be talking about why and how HE is positively the one who can lead us to “yes we can”, and not stoop and drag us to “no, they didn’t” or “no, they can’t.”
