Hillary's Scorched Earth Policy

Hillary seems hell bent on win at all costs, even if it means feeding the Republican opposition quotes for the general election.

It sure seems that Hillary is using a Scorched Earth Policy with this election. If she can't be the nominee, then she's determined to make sure that the Democrats don't win this fall.

Her attacks on Barack Obama follow that. Her comment that McCain has experience, she has experience, he has a speech is meant to insure that if Obama is the nominee, her quotes will be used in the general election.

A quick fact check: All three candidates are Senators and have not held an executive elected position. So technically, no one is more prepared than the other in terms of dealing with the Presidency.

Someone suggested that we might look at their campaigns (which are very large organizations spread across the states) to see their leadership skills in action. If that's the case, then I think Obama wins hands down. His campaign is more organized than either Hillary's or McCain's. Obama knew that Super Tuesday was not the end and prepared for it. Hillary was shocked come Wednesday. Obama looked at the rules and played by them -- collect the delegates. Hillary looked at the rules and said "this is where I want change."

It seems she would rather destroy the Democratic party and hand the keys over to McCain to continue the Bush policies than to concede to Obama. She says she's a fighter, but the real problem is she wants to play dirty. Welcome back to the 1990s where politics are dirty and partisan.

Oh wait, that's what we're trying to get past. The press needs to start calling her on these dirty tactics. I don't mind a clean, fair fight -- but Hillary isn't going to play that way. She wants to win at all costs, everyone else be damned in the process.
