Well I guess not every one is enjoying the "fun" part of the new Hillary Clinton campaign strategy.

Once, Garry Thomas counted himself a Hillary Clinton supporter -- even signing up to be one of her 25 co-chairs in Iowa alongside with former Iowa First Lady Christie Vilsack.
But Thomas now says he felt obliged to switch sides in recent weeks. "I think the Clinton campaign went negative," Thomas said in a telephone interview on Thursday. He attributed his defection to the new tone Clinton took last weekend, describing it as divisive. Obama officials said Thomas committed to them this week.
Clinton, after months of being targeted by her chief rivals, decided to respond with a forceful challenge to Obama's character and a charge that he is much more ambitious than he has let on. Her campaign advisers said she strongly believes that she must not let attacks go unresponded to -- even if it means appearing to go somewhat negative herself. They pointed to the success former Vice President Al Gore had in Iowa in 2000 after drawing distinctions between himself and former Sen. Bill Bradley.
I think that's where Hillary's campaign get's it wrong. They can't understand that Obama is not a normal candidate, democrats even ones that don't think he should be president this time like him so much they will recoil from anything that seems below the belt. Bradley was easily cast as a brainy NJ guy who wasn't a "fighter" for the cause. Hillary also doesn't realize how bad she looks doing the attacking.
The very qualities that people like about her when she takes on Republicans( when she doesn't join them or Iraq or Iran) just come off badly when they are used against Democrats. We want a uniter in the primary and a person who can take on the right, she is proving herself now to be polarizing not just among republicans and indies but with too many Democrats. It's going to be her downfall.
