Read The So-Called 'Kill-Hillary' Strategy Used By The Obama Campaign In 2008
The New Yorker has released the memo
that contains what they are calling the “kill-Hillary” strategy
employed by the Obama campaign to defeat Hillary Clinton in the 2008
Democratic primary.
The memo—written by top Obama advisors including David Axelrod, Dan
Pfeiffer, and David Plouffe—shows that the campaign defeated Hillary by
honing in on an issue by which she is still plagued: her character.
The Obama campaign sought to frame Hillary as untrustworthy and a
consummate politician. Even Obama’s ubiquitous campaign slogan—“Change
you can believe in”—was designed to draw a contrast between the
characters of the two candidates.

Bad News For Chris Christie
It hasn’t been a good week for Governor Chris Christie.
The most recent Fox News poll has
Christie joining John Kasich, George Pataki, and Bobby Jindal at the
back of the GOP pack with just 1% of likely Republican primary voters
saying they would support the Garden State Governor.
Governor Christie isn’t so sure the latest poll numbers add up.
“It doesn’t make any sense,” Christie said on Wednesday’s Sean
Hannity Radio Show. “I don’t like any bad polls, but I’m not taking that
one too seriously. Let’s see what other ones come out in the next
couple of weeks.”
On Thursday a new Rutgers-Eagleton poll of Christie’s home state of New Jersey put’s his support at just 5% amongst Republicans, down 50% over the last two months.
Accuracy of the polls notwithstanding, Governor Christie appears to
be resting his hopes on strong performances in early primary states,
especially New Hampshire.
“It seems like you’re spending a majority of your time in New
Hampshire over Iowa,” Sean noted. “Is that part of an orchestrated
strategy?”
“I think from here on out you’ll see us spending a lot more time in
Iowa,” Christie responded. “We’re going to compete hard in Iowa but up
to this point we have spent more time in New Hampshire. We were trying
to build support in Iowa which we’ve done now, especially after Governor
Walker’s departure.”
