Barack Obama likes to use the line that most people equate to the definition of insanity: You do the same thing over and over again expecting different results. Obama has applied that line to the Clinton(s) administration. But tonight, it applies directly to Hillary Clinton in her bid for the nomination.
Clinton and Obama are so similar on the issues that Clinton needs to do something to separate herself. If her campaign's conference call yesterday was any indication, there are no new themes. Only the continued mantra of experience matters and that she'll be ready on day one. So tonight, it is in her best interest to vividly illustrate how her experience really does matter.
Will Clinton go 'negative'? She might not be able to afford to because her negative rating in polls is sky high. Last I checked, 48%. A lof of people, for whatever reason, don't like her. And taking below-the-belt shots at a very popular candidate could prove fatal.
Your thoughts??

As Fox 7's State Political Reporter I often tell people I have the privilege of front row season tickets to the best circus around. Blogging allows me to share with you all the things I can't fit into a 2 minute segment during a newscast, and perhaps even some personal thoughts about the things we cover. This has been a growing part of our news coverage since we launched this part of our website in September 2006. If you have any thoughts on what I write or what your elected servants are doing, feel free to chime in.
