Barak Obama is Hillary Clinton's worst nightmare. If she leaves him alone, he gets stronger. But attacking him is likely
to backfire because he is the perfect combination of just enough experience to run but too new and too clean from which to
mine any real dirt. Or to have any deal-breaking policy positions. Yet
he's patently intelligent and articulate enough to hang with or best her
in the main ring. Obama is more likeable, to her left on the war, and has captured Hollywood money Hillary thought was hers. The pass she thought she'd get from her base turned into a swat, instead.
At this point, it looks to me like Obama is poised to take Hilllary down. Unless he's caught in the sack with a dead girl or a live
boy, going negative on him is going look like shooting bullets into
the Pillsbury Dough Boy. Nobody will appreciate it.
And Hillary's team won't be able to commit surreptitious or anonymous attacks without reverberation because there are only two Democratic candidates and the Clinton M.O. is too well known. Nobody is going to ask, "Who's the source for that latest mud?" Duh.
