GOP Gives Clinton the Silent Treatment
Hillary Clinton's decisive Pennsylvania primary win last week may have reinvigorated her campaign, but you wouldn't know it from listening to the Republican party.

(snip from the article)

Even when Clinton attacks McCain, President Bush or GOP policies, the response is either outright silence or snarky, dismissive ridicule about a failed campaign barely relevant enough to merit a response.

"With ads like that, it's more likely the call at 3 a.m. is 'Senator, you just lost another superdelegate,'" quipped McCain adviser Steve Schmidt earlier this month when Clinton aired a version of her "3 a.m." ad attacking McCain on the economy.

Interesting article. The Republicans have crossed over in several primaries to boost Hillary, on the instructions from their Great Leader Rush. But now it seems that even they have accepted that Obama will be the nominee.

1. I think the Repukes have realized Operation Chaos is doomed to fail.
They're moving on to some other scheme, and Hillary's gonna be hung out to dry.

Lay with dogs and you get fleas... :nopity:

4. I tell ya...
it shows you who they're really scared of...

It certainly brings a whole 'nother dimension to this election. When your chief opponent acts as if you don't exist, well.. what does that tell you???

5. This is not news for anyone who has been paying attention
but maybe it will open a few eyes for those who haven't.
