Clinton's Republican Style Victory

As I thought about how Hillary Clinton pulled out her impressive victory last night, I cannot help but conclude that she waged a republican "Karl Rove" style campaign.

  • She attacked Obama on values and culture.
    • E.g., All the attacks over the "bitter" comments and being elitist
  • She used fear of terrorism
    • In her Kitchen ad, she talked about the pressures of the presidency and the fear of terrorism

This is not a good sign for Barack Obama as there will certainly be more of this in the fall.
