Hillary attacks Edwards and Obama
Hillary goes negative on Obama and Edwards in a radio ad (script after the jump) up in Nevada at the moment, questioning the depth of their commitment to the top parochial issue in Nevada: the use of Yucca Mountain as a nuclear waste dump.

All three oppose the plan, but Clinton's ad claims that her position is purer:

John Edwards voted to keep Yucca Mountain open — twice. Once Edwards even voted to keep it open over President Clinton’s veto.

And Barack Obama? The Las Vegas Review Journal said Obama was, quote, “hip deep in financial ties” to one of America’s biggest Yucca Mountain promoters: nuclear giant Exelon.

So if you want Yucca Mountain shut down for good, there’s only one choice ...

Clinton backs the specific claim about donations from the Nuclear operator Exelon here, and Obama's campaign convened a conference call with a Nevada State senator and an environmental advocate to dismiss the ad.

State Sen. Steve Horsford called the ad "dishonest and frankly offensive to the intelligence of voters."

Sounds to me like she is calling them liars.

9. Why is pointing out someones in someones pocket

attacking them, Exelon is a huge contributor to Obama.

Everything Hillary does is an attack but when Obama and his stormtroopers do it, "its the truth".

2. Is she quoting the same LV Review Journal that shat on both her and Obama in its endorsement of him?

8. Maybe if that don't work, HRC will selfishly play her choked-up "Evita role" again?
IMO, she's not believable when talking about the weather.

No sale. :shrug:
