Correlation Noted: Obama down in polls = little Clinton media. Obama up in polls = lots of Clinton

Has anyone else noticed that the Clintons and their DINO surrogates are now all over the TV at a point when Obama is in an upswing in the polls? Last 2-3 weeks you couldn't shake a media source and find a Clinton to talk on camera...but of course during that time Obama was down in the polls.

So, there appears to be a positive correlation between Obama's poll standing and Clinton "turncoat" media exposure. Looks like there's a DINO family that is worried that Obama might actually win.

In some ways this could be good news. From here on out when I see Clinton (or his surrogates) excusing McCain or half-hearted with Obama, I'm going to assume that must mean that Obama is winning. When the Clintons disappear from the media, therefore, is when we should worry about Obama's chances.

FUCK BILL CLINTON AND HIS DINO/REPUKE SYCOPHANTS.

Consider Kerry added a plank to the 2004 platform that spoke of addressing mortgage and credit card abuse - specifically calling for prohibiting most balloon mortgages. Put that with Kerry's history of fighting bank corruption and we would not be in today's situation.

We would have a non-partisan AG, fighting as the chief law enforcement officer.

a better foreign policy and would have had far fewer deaths in Iraq

Next week he will be campaigning for Obama.

If that's the case, then he should REFUSE to address any question not related to his "Global Initiative" ego fluff job.

...My condolences on your anger management issues...

and may you seek the help you need.

We're obsessed because he is gutting by a thousand paper cuts our chances of winning in Nov. It's apparent that the country be damned if he or his wife can't control it. He's a petulant sociopathic baby.

J

Please explain how Clinton's current comments are helpful to OBAMA...remember him, Obama our Democratic Party candidate.

I know you don't understand this but people in the middle, independents who decide elections dont want to see either candidate or their supports constantly trashing the other guy.
Hard concept for some to understand.

It's clear that you do not have a sufficent explanation for how Clinton's recent McCain debate comments help Obama.

DENIAL, much?

J

Have a good one!

I hope others noticed that I did not get an answer on how Clinton's excusing McCain helps Obama.

J

Ive heard Obama, Michelle and Biden all say very flattering things about McCain.

"How does that help?"

You can't do it, can you? It must be tearing you up inside to defend the indefensible.

J

I dont think Clinton thinks every remark he makes has to "help Obama."
Feel better?

How does it help Obama to call McCain an "American hero?
How does Obama, Michelle and Biden praising McCain help Obama?

Thank you for proving my point...finally.

J

Why did Obama call McCain an "American hero"...does that help?
Why have Obama, Michelle and Bided prasied McCain? Does that help?

Cant wait!

He deserved that praise. He has been extremely unhelpful this week, we are criticizing that. One decent speech doesn't excuse all these little jabs.

have been promoting his Global Initiative Meeting and not campaigning for Obama. He has stated that after this meeting is wrapped up, he will be out campaigning until the election.

When former president Bill Clinton met with Sen. Barack Obama in Clinton's Harlem office last week, he asked the candidate, "What do you guys want me to do?"

The answer appears to be to hold campaign events in Florida, Nevada and Ohio, as well as host fundraisers in New York, California and Ohio.

Clinton said today that he will campaign for Obama beginning next week, once his annual philanthropy conference concludes.

These Clinton-bashing posts do nothing to help Obama or the Democratic party.

Only the mods can stop this. Clinton bashing should be seen in the same light as Obama bashing and should lead to a tombstone. EMO.

Please explain how Clinton's recent comments about McCain help Obama. I'm waiting for a reasoned reply.

J

I've been a Democrat my whole life and I can sum up all your post with one pic.

I guess I can lump you in with the half-hearted Dems I've seen here and there in NC. Must kill you to have a black man running as your candidate, right?

J

act on Larry King last night.

Clinton could have said EXACTLY what you just did.....but he didn't. He Clintonized it by saying what he wouldn't do, what wasn't presidential, how he would not bash McCain and Palin and offered up all sorts of arguments and reasons and answered questions that WERE NOT ASKED.

How do you square what you wrote with what Clinton SAID last night on King???

These BLIND Clinton loving posts do nothing to help Obama or the Democratic Party.

Please EXPLAIN how Clinton's comments excusing McCain's behavior help Obama? I'm all ears, but I suspect you do not have a good answer because you would follow that sociopath off a cliff.

J

Almost like Clinton himself.

"..."You can put it off a few days the problem is it's hard to reschedule those things," Clinton said, "I presume he did that in good faith since I know he wanted -- I remember he asked for more debates to go all around the country and so I don't think we ought to overly parse that.".."

So you think Obama going up in the polls is because Clinton is doing secret campaigning for McCain?

:wtf:

It doesn't occur to you at all that maybe it's because OBAMA IS DOING WELL AT CAMPAIGNING? How insulting is that to our candidate? Or maybe it could be that McCain is being seen as the asshole he really is, ever think about that?

Christ!

It's apparent that aside from Florida voters, Bill Clinton isn't helping Obama that much with his recent McCain behavior excuses. I mean WTF???

J

maybe Obama IS SIIMPLY DOING WHAT HE IS SUPPOSED TO BE DOING, and Clinton DOESN'T FUCKING MATTER!

If Clinton still garners respect from DUers, then you can bet your bottom dollar that less connected people are listening and responding to his lead. Clinton is not helping Obama, whether he's relevant or not.

Would it be too tough for Bill or Hillary to respond with a "NO," when asked if McCain would be a good President (or something along those lines)? They just can't seem to answer in a clear and affirmative manner in Obama's favor. That's what really chaps my hide.

J

I guarantee you that the Clintons are still well regarded in NY, PA and FL.

J

Obama is doing fine on his own. McCain is doing poorly on his own. Even if Clinton were campaigning for McCain (which is laughable), big deal.

Labeled "disruptive"

J

Ditto for those who still trash Hillary.

I thought this forum's purpose was to promote the Democratic Party and their politicians? It appears it is perfectly acceptable to attack the Clintons and their contributions to the Party. You know, like 8 years of prosperity and no major wars. What gives here?

Sadly the pull a few Democrats down with them.
