Why? For a lot of reasons that form a perfect quilt of an attack. To name just a couple: Because Hillary’s attacks were dead-on and vicious (appropriately so) and serve to remind everyone that her present support of Hussein is half-hearted at best, not because she lost, but because the guy is full of dangerous flaws and of both questionable and insufficient background. They also serve to remind everyone that Hillary may not really support this man to be President, and her present endorsements should be dismissed as nothing more than phony partisan soldiering, an obligation she must fulfill to stay in the party’s good graces in order to retain power. It also protects McCain from charges of being a nasty, negative campaigner when he’s merely bringing up points that Hillary on behalf of half of the Democrat Party brought up, and she and the rest can’t possibly be no longer concerned about. Hillary’s made all these points fair game for McCain, and now stands as a reminder to everyone that these issues are not the invention of some ugly, conspiratorial Republican smear machine. And of course, just by bringing them up they’re back on everyone’s mind. Plus the spot rubs some nice salt in her supporters wounds, pain which many will certainly salve by voting for John McCain.
