Obama needs to start ignoring Hillary, and so does everyone else
Treat her like Huckabee was treated in the last few weeks of his campaign.

Obama continually justifies her inclusion in this race by focusing all his attention on her. He needs to just start talking about Mccain and saying what his plan for the GE is. He keeps saying he doesn't want to sound arrogant and act like he's the nominee, but you know,barring a major event, he is.

Treat her as if she's crazy and delusional, and eventually everyone else will think it too.

ps. this may sound nasty to hillary, but the whole 'Ill take this to the convention' thing last night, has finally caused me run out of patience with her. Yeah, she can't be president, it's sad for her, but she can't drag the party down with her. Even Mitt Romney knew when to do the right thing.

1. That's what I've been thinking...
And it does look like Barack is focusing on the GE now ~ that's good.

3. Right. And he should tell his supporters to ignore her too.
Anything else just generates ill will. He doesn't need to go there. It's his positivity that attracted me to him.

6. He gave a speech
critizing McCain's economic "policies". I would say that is what he is doing.

8. I agree, but unlike Huckabee the MSM wont let us ignore Hillary
The less anyone talks about her the more the MSM will start promoting her.

11. Hey someone else who sees reality. They will let her destroy the...
party at least until they can have the Obama/McCain battle right around 50/50. That way when the election is stolen, the public wont notice because it was so close. Kind of like how bush stole it. She knows that after McCain, people would probably give up on Obama because he lost to McCain and in 4 years she would be the shoe in.

I hope America stays awake this whole election and doesn't let it slip away this time, our children need us to stand up for them!

9. Other than negative news, I thought she was already being ignored.
Obama appears to be doing just fine the way it is. He's going to get the superdelegates because they are politicians and they will back the apparent winner.

What happened to Democracy around here?

12. He can respond to her negativity and defend himself, but not bother attacking her
It's perfectly fair to say "Senator Clinton said something wrong about me, and I'm going to clear it up". But if I were him I would never bother addressing something that she didn't start first.
