Hillary's negative downfall


The fallout from Wednesday's Obama drug-use bomb is still raining down on the Clinton campaign. If the public buys Hillary's apology maybe the polls won't react, but if the public permanently attaches the smear to Hillary, if they hold her responsible for ordering the hit, then her numbers will continue to decline. We may be watching the beginning of the end of the Hillary campaign.

As for the flip side of the smear, the Obama side of it, Hillary may have gotten the drug conversation back into the headlines, but I agree with Tony Newhouse: "the fact that Obama used drugs in his youth only humanizes him." Which is exactly the quality Hillary lacks.
