A fundamental flaw that developed in the final 2 weeks before the vote in Ohio and Texas was the pivot, possibly prematurely, that Obama made away from Hillary and towards John McCain. Hillary Clinton, ignored by Obama and his campaign, was allowed to openly Mock, Attack, and Criticize Sen. Obama. She equated him to Karl Rove, Ken Starr, and George Bush. She called him out on Heath Care, Foreign Policy and Experience. And at the end of the day, Hillary Clinton Won, BECAUSE she focused her Energy on her Opponent Today, not her Opponent Tomorrow.

Barack, You're not the Front Runner anymore! STOP TALKING ABOUT JOHN FUCKING MCCAIN!!!

They can't afford John McCain's promise of four more years of the very same failed Bush economic policies that have failed us for the last eight, and they can't afford another politician who promises solutions but won't change the divisive, lobbyist-driven politics in Washington.

This is a Losing Strategy and we're rapidly speeding towards a Wall/Cliff if you don't seriously fix this shit Today.

Hillary is Eating our Lunch. She's rapidly wearing the shine off the new car, and the new car smell has turned into Dog Poo... To be Blunt, Team Hillary is definitely in your Teams Head and Now Under your Skin...

Calling Hillary a Monster will not win a single fucking vote, it'll only lose votes.

Recognize the mistake for what it is and Publically announce that Samatha Power is stepping aside from her role as Advisor. As a vocal critic of real world Monsters in Darfur, of all people, she should have been much more delicate in using such a loaded word. And besides, we are Holding ourselves to a Higher Standard. It doesn't matter at all what the Clinton Crew called you today, whether they called you less ready than McCain, or maybe Muslim, or Darker, or what the fuck ever, we uphold a higher standard and it's time to live up to that.

This said, if you're comfortable openly criticizing McCain on Policy, Train your fire on your true Foe. You should have taken Hillary to task on her mockery of Hope; in the debate you had a chance to slam her for openly and publically laughing in the face of Optimism and you took a different tack. Demote your adviser who gave you that idea, and if it was you, don't take your status for Granted.

We are definitely falling back now. 5 points down in as many days in the RCP National Poll Average. And after the Ohio bounce, we'll be back down 5 nationwide, down 15 in Pennsylvania. And today, the Altederman are licking Bill's Boots, and another state is lost.

It's not the time to allow Cancerous hatred in your campaign in the form of Power. It's not the time to attack John McCain on Jobs. It's time to call Hillary Clinton out for what she is: An Unvetted, Corrupt Politician afraid to disclose how her and her husband got out of the debt there were so deeply in as they bough their mansion in New York with Terry Mac's help. Call her out for her contributions from the Three Rezko Co-Defendants. Call her out on Borat Gate, Nafta Gate, White House Docs Gate. There is So MUCH THERE THERE, stop talking about John McCain until Hillary Clinton is officially out of the Race.

Go against this memo and warning at risk to your candidacy.
