The "Kitchen Sink" Offensive!!


Unleashing what one Clinton aide called a “kitchen sink” full out attack against Mr. Obama, pursuing five lines of attack since Saturday in hopes of stopping his political momentum, Clinton is in recognition that the next round of primaries — in Ohio and Texas on March 4 — are must-win contests for her. Mr. Obama’s campaign manager, David Plouffe, said that the Clinton campaign had “engaged in the most shameful, offensive fear-mongering we’ve seen from either party.” It has not been independently verified that the photograph came from the Clinton campaign. With a crucial debate on Tuesday night in Ohio, both Mrs. Clinton’s advisers and independent political analysts said that, by going negative against Mr. Obama at a time when polls in Texas and Ohio show a tightening race, Mrs. Clinton risked alienating voters. Clinton is going all out without a net to save her. She is in the "all or nothing attack "mode. Tonights debate should make or break her. Do you think this will work? Is this new strategy the way to go?
