Hendrix Clinton Experience

As a Canadian I am all wrapped up in this American election coverage. The negative ads piss me off and blog my mind, In Canada we have attack ads, but in the States negative campaigning appears to take center stage and is gobbled up by the media. CNN sometimes even uses blood graphics to illustrate the "blood bath." The media loves a good fight.

I like the Barack fellow, so I was pretty pissed when Hillary started playing the fear card against him. I think she has to use fear if she wants to win. However, I believe the majority of the American people are smarter then to fall for her tricks, which is why I love catching mashups like this. Spread this one Barack supporters. 

*edit Just read this in Newsweek, kinda related, beats writing a new post, since it's kinda related. The Media has hinted that this democratic election is again going to be decided with a court case in Florida. Here are Hillary's reasons for fighting a legal battle.

NW: You ' ve been advocating seating delegations from Michigan and Florida. But Senator Obama wasn ' t even on the ballot in Michigan. Does making this argument risk alienating voters who think you ' re breaking the rules or changing the rules?
HRC: I don't think so. I mean, he had a choice to be on the ballot. He chose not to be. I chose to stay on the ballot. So that was a choice he made. His campaign then ran a very vigorous effort to try to defeat me with uncommitted delegates, and he lost. So it wasn't as though there wasn't a contest. There was a contest. And I won. And I won resoundingly in Florida … I don't think we should be about the business of denying voters in Michigan and Florida the right to be heard.

Actually this campaign has been awfully mild so far when it comes to attack ads. I mean in 2004 a Vietnam war veteran was basically questioned on his patriotism by a president who skipped the war in the Texas Air guard.

This will of course change as we get closer to November. Though the right will have a hard time pinning something on Obama without it backfiring.
