Obama Camp: Clinton Obsessed With GOP "Attack Machine"

The Hill:

A top adviser for Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) said Friday that Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.), the front-runner for her party's presidential nomination, is obsessed "with what she calls the Republican attack machine."

"I think we need a candidate who is obsessed with unifying this country again," said Obama adviser David Axelrod. He added that Obama could break "the sort of decades-long battle we've had over this jagged divide -- red state, blue state, American against American -- and try to bring people together and attract disaffected Republicans and attract independent voters so that we could build not just a victory, but a governing coalition in this country."

I can't believe so many people put their hands over their ears and refuse to listen to the campaigns.

A generalization of what you hear:
Hillary, "I can stop the right-wing machine."
Barack, "I want to change Washington and unite the country."

Hey... Barak...
I love ya baby, you're the man and all that. (with chips)
But you gotta remember, Hillary is obsessed with the right wing attack machine for a very good reason... They attack. She has the scars to prove it. Everybody who gets in their way gets the star treatment on some level, but Hillary is really special to them... Maybe you should let your advisor know this and pay attention to how she has dealt with it over the years... and years... and years...
With any luck at all. (and yeah, you are my guy...) you will need to know what she knows to get through it.
Seriously.
