Hillary's campaign: Obama is "the most liberal Senator"

Better than being the most scandal-prone Senator. It's nice that Hillary's campaign is now using the most vicious of right-wing talking points to not only demonize Obama, but demonize a good portion of the Democratic party as well. For decades the Republicans have used the word "liberal" as a slur in order to hurt Democrats across the board, and now Hillary's doing it too. From Election Geek quoting Hillary's top adviser, Mark Penn:
“Independent and Republican support is diminishing as they find out he’s the most liberal Democratic senator… As they get more of a sense that he’s not ready to be Commander-in-Chief, a lot of Independents who were supporting him are disappearing.”
Funny, because last week, when Penn said this, Hillary floated the idea of Obama being her VP. Talk about speaking out of both sides of your mouth. If Obama is so "liberal" and so unprepared, then why would Hillary want to put him a heartbeat away from the presidency? Why? Because she's lying. Either about Obama's competence, or about picking him as VP. Probably both. Hillary will say anything in order to become president, and if that means demonizing half the states in the country, half the party, and our probable nominee, then so be it.

You'd think the dynasty that brought us "Monica" would be reticent about going bitterly negative. Not so much. If Obama wanted to do, he could destroy Hillary by reminding everyone of the bad side of a Clinton administration - non-stop scandal, and rather prurient scandal at that. (Does anyone really think it's not going to happen all over again if Hillary and Bill get back in the White House?) But Obama has more class than Hillary - a fact she's proving more and more each day.
