The Clintons' Long War Against Obama

By The Daily Dish

If you think I'm exaggerating when I argue that the Clintons now want to damage Obama as much as they want to regain power for themselves, check out Fallows' post this morning:

In a live CNN interview just now, Sen. Clinton repeated, twice, the "Sen. McCain has a lifetime of experience, I have a lifetime of experience, Sen. Obama has one speech in 2002" line. By what logic, exactly, does a member of the Democratic party include the "Sen. McCain has a lifetime of experience" part of that sentence? [...]

...to pose it in a form that is poison for the party should Obama be the nominee??? To produce a clip that the McCain campaign could run unedited every single day of a campaign against Obama? That is something special.

And if you know what really motivates the Clintons, unsurprising.
