Hillary and the kitchen sink

Now, Hillary may have slowed the tide of voters against Obama but she did that by playing on the voters fears and insecurities rather than showing them what she can do. Her campaign over the past few weeks has been more about "let's throw all the dirt we can find about Obama out in the open" vs "let's try and tell the voters what we can do". In small minded America where voters do not ask tough questions such tactics seem to be working out. I deeply respect Obama's stance of not throwing the dirt back at Hillary - this is definitely the politics we should be following. But, how much longer can he maintain the gentlemanly behaviour? Billary have already said "Politics is a contact sport" - I actually used to see it more as an exchange of ideas, but I guess in America where the violent killing of innocent Iraqi's is just "collateral damage", positive exchange of ideas have led way to dirt being thrown- all we wait for now is Hillary and Obama to get into the ring and box each other out.

And while Hillary may have thrown all the dirt she found about Obama out in the open - the worst she could come up with was
a) His naive ideas about NAFTA
b) Deals with some bad guy that he already acknowledged and apologised for.
I mean- after spending more than 120 million dollars, you are telling me that is all she could find on this guy? If this guy is so squeaky clean then he quite rightly deserves the White House.

Without spending any money on Hillary and doing no research - not even a Google search - here is the list of skeletons in Hillary's closet that I remember:
a) Whitewater
b) Mr. Foster's suicide and the missing files that Hillary moved from his office the day after the event.
c)Missing records on the Cattle Grade deal that mysteriously showed up once the investigation had completed.
d) During Bill's time, the presidential helicopter was used to take Hillary's friends to golfing trips - wonder what those folks in Ohio would think about that. (I remember that because some politician in India tried to do the same with the Presidential helicopter in India only to get into trouble)
e) Taking money from Lobbyists over and over and over again! This woman has probably sold her conscience to the lobbyists by now!

I mean - and this is only what i remember. Think about all the stuff you could find out about her with 120 million dollars to spare.

The problem on playing a "contact sport" is that it might feel pretty good when you are on the top punching the little guy down, but you run the risk that the little guy might come back at you with an even harder punch - one you might not really recover from.
