A Glimpse of the Upcoming Month?

I really was hoping that it wouldn't come to this, but Hillary has decided to go negative.

From CNN:
Hillary Clinton is taking aim at Barack Obama in a new Wisconsin television ad for not agreeing to participate in a debate there.

"Both Democratic candidates have been invited to a televised Wisconsin debate," an announcer says in the new 30 second spot. "Hillary Clinton has said yes. Barack Obama hasn't. Maybe he'd prefer to give speeches than have to answer questions."

"Like why Hillary Clinton has the only health care plan that covers every American, and the only economic plan that freezes foreclosures," the announcer continues. "Wisconsin deserves to hear both candidates debate the issues that matter. And that's…not debatable."


Obama has participated in 18 debates and will participate in two more in the next month. This is a very unfortunate ad that Hillary is putting forth and I really hope that the voters of Wisconsin see this as another example of "politics as usual" versus "politics of change."
