How is her desperation any worse than Obama's lately?

As I predicted, he will become more and more craven as the prize approaches ... and by the time the election roles around, you won't be able to tell him apart from Hillary Clinton or any other politician.

Such is the nature of politics.

It's been a light news week for me. What has he been doing that is suddenly craven?

Is it just that he is now campaigning against the opposite party instead of within his own party and therefore the arguments and disagreements are much more significant and aggressive?

Visible mojo. Craven is a pretty strong term- did I miss something?

I don't know, but I'm craven a Chipwich.

He caved instantly on his stance for negotiating with our enemies when halfassedly attacked on that position by John McCain. If he's going to drop his principals with so little cause ... I want him to drop his pants and bend over for the insertion of my alarming package.

Because this kind of behavior makes him a bitch.

Ok, I missed something because I've only seen him defending that and getting a fair amount of flack for it.

I'm too lazy to paraphrase ...

Obama responded quickly and definitely to McCain’s attack. He told Jeffrey Goldberg of The Atlantic, "I’ve repeatedly condemned [Hamas]. I’ve repeatedly said ... since [Hamas] is a terrorist organization, we should not be dealing with them until they recognize Israel, renounce terrorism and abide by previous agreements." To reinforce this message, Obama dropped Robert Malley of the International Crisis Group from his list of advisors. Malley’s offense had been to meet with Hamas leaders. Given the ICG’s mission - the peaceful, negotiated resolution of conflicts - Malley would not have been doing his job if he hadn’t met with Hamas. And given Obama’s oft-stated position that we should be talking to all parties in the region, the Illinois Senator’s position on Hamas can only be considered a sad abandonment of principles.

^He's moving away from the Primary campaign and the left.

Time to seize the middle......not a small task considering his foe has been there his whole career.
