Hillary resorts to dirty tactics. Goes against what her campaign earlier said

Politics is such a dirty game. It really brings out a person’s true identity. It takes a very strong person to play fair and it looks like Hillary has failed. It seems like she will go to any extent to win, even if it means breaking the Democratic Party wide open.I read at interesting article via Daily Kos [link] where LoLoLaLa writes about being in Vegas and called their Obama supporter. Surprise surprise, out of about the 100 calls made, 95 said that Hillary Clinton’s campaign has been calling them “all day” or at least once already.

While the Obama camp had compared Hillary’s list with theirs and was only calling their supporters, the Hillary camp was calling Obama supporters and was

“…encouraged to switch their support from Obama to Hillary . One man even said the person who called him “wouldn’t let it go” and when he angrily told them he wasn’t going to drop his support for Obama, they just hung up the phone on him.

The Clinton campaign has called me three times already since 2pm yesterday….”

So on one side we have Obama trying to unify the country, and on the other side we have Hillary who is setting a president of breaking and diving the democratic party to become president. What will she do if she were to become president?

I am curious indeed. What do you think?



Don't be a stranger. Tell me what your think and leave me a comment. Trust me, you'll feel better!

    I don’t get it. You think that Hillary calling Obama supporters is playing dirty? Why?

    Hey Ravana: It’s not so much calling supporters, but that they are calling pledged delegates. So how the elections in the US works in in the primaries each state has a number of delegates who pledges themselves to a supporter.

    Earlier on, she said she would not go after pledged delegates (which is just bad form) but now she is not only calling them but hounding them to change their pledge as the one guy said.
