Clinton Campaign Collapsing Into More and More Nastiness

Just the thing for Easter- Hillary adviser James Carville compares the Bill Richardson endorsement of Obama to Judas's betrayal of Jesus!

"An act of betrayal," said James Carville, an adviser to Mrs. Clinton and a friend of Mr. Clinton. "Mr. Richardson’s endorsement came right around the anniversary of the day when Judas sold out for 30 pieces of silver, so I think the timing is appropriate, if ironic," Mr. Carville said, referring to Holy Week.

Meanwhile, Bill is repeating Republican talking points that Obama is not patriotic enough, which to many voters means not white enough, to be President, and Howard Wolfson claims that isn't really what Bill said because of what the meaning of the word "is" is...

MSNBC is reporting that on the campaign trail today in Charlotte, North Carolina, the former president said a general election matchup between his wife, Sen. Clinton, and Sen. John McCain would be between "two people who love this country" without "all this other stuff that always seems to intrude itself on our politics."

It's difficult to determine exactly what Clinton meant by this. Howard Wolfson, a spokesman for the Clinton campaign, said the former president was not implying that Obama didn't love America. As for "this other stuff," that Clinton referred to? He was talking about "the politics of personal destruction," said Wolfson. "He was lamenting that these kind of distractions 'always seems to intrude' on our politics."

Not everyone had the same interpretation. MSNBC, for example, was quick to suggest that the former president was implying there were doubts about Obama's patriotism, and that those doubts would play a role in the general election. Which seems, on its face, hardly a stretch.

It appears that the Hillary campaign, facing delegate numbers which would require a higher average margin of victory in remaining states than Hillary got in any state but Arkansas, are going to destroy the reputation of the whole DLC wing of the party to tear down the likely nominee.
