Politics of destruction

If Hillary Clinton is the Democrat nominee for president come the general election it will appear that the politics of destruction will return with her. The over the top campaign that the Senator, and her husband, is running against Senator Barack Obama is shameful. The win at all cost mentality by smearing Senator Obama may certainly backfire not only with Democrats, but with the general electorate. Many prominent Democrats have come to question Mrs. Clinton's tactics and have emplored her to cease these attacks for the betterment of the party. Namely, to call off Bill Clinton as an attack dog. How many times over the past two weeks have you seen the former President, red-faced, waving his finger in the air, attacking Obama, or the press, or anyone else who questions his wife's credentials, her campaign, or anything else Hillary! This scorched earth strategy is unwise. A divided Democrat party going into the general election will obviously cost them the election much like it did in 1980 when then President Jimmy Carter and Senator Ted Kennedy fractured the party. These tactics of the Clintons remind me of the politics of destruction of the 1990s. Like me, I think much of the electorate is suffering from Clinton fatigue.
