Hillary Clinton, your desperation is showing.

Today, Hillary blasted Obama for mailers his campaign sent out in Ohio, claiming that his tactics were "right out of Karl Rove's playbook."  Check out the video.

The desperation in Clinton's campaign is becoming increasingly apparent.  As if Clinton's accusation that Obama plagiarized Deval Patrick wasn't evidence enough, we see here yet another low blow from Clinton in this patronizing tirade.   My question is who made Hillary (or Bill, for that matter) the arbiter of all things ethical.  Their throwing around of  "shame" really ticks me off.  The Lewinsky scandal--now there's something to be ashamed of.   What about Whitewater??  Our memories are not that short, Senator.  And why won't she release her tax returns?  Something there to be (dare I say it) ashamed of?  

She says wants to have "a real campaign" without the "speeches and the big rallies".  Well, if people were turning out in droves to see her as they are turning out for Obama, I'm sure she wouldn't have a problem with those speeches and big rallies.   Her challenge to Obama to "meet [her] in Ohio" to debate this issue (I guess this is the throwing down of the proverbial gauntlet) just makes her look a little silly.  What?  Is Obama supposed to be scared now (chuckle)?  

Furthermore, her lambasting Obama does nothing for her image as The Bitch.  This comes across more like overly emotional nagging than well thought out criticism of Obama's tactics.  I'm not buying what you're selling, Hillary.  I hate to break it to you, girl, but you're 0 for 11, and I think I hear the fat lady singing.
