Hillary Clinton just launched her new site The Hillary I Know, designed to humanize her to draw down her high negatives, amid much fanfare. On the same servers, ABC News discovered a few other websites that Hillary plans to launch. She has set up domains for websites designed to attack Barack Obama and to claim that they attacked her first:
ABC News has learned that the campaign of Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., has registered the names of two websites with the express goal of attacking her chief rival, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, the first time this election cycle a presidential campaign has launched a website with the express purpose of criticizing a rival.
"Votingpresent.com" and "Votingpresent.org" are domains hosted by the same IP address as official Clinton websites, such as TheHillaryIKnow.com website, which was launched with much fanfare this week.
The Clinton campaign intends to use these new websites to paint Obama as cowardly. ...
Clinton's campaign has also introduced, quietly, a website called Attacktimeline.com, which Clinton officials say chronicles the ways Obama and former Sen. John Edwards, D-N.C., were criticizing her publicly long before she began returning fire.
How Clintonian! Attacking opponents for attacking her while attacking them. James Carville once said, "It's hard for someone to hit you when you have your fist in their face." It's even harder to attack one's opponents while shooting one's self in the foot -- repeatedly.
Hillary has the highest negatives of any serious contender on both sides of this race. Criticism of "present" votes certainly makes sense, but setting up an entire website for it goes beyond Carvillian. And trying to garner sympathy for being a front-runner is not only futile, it makes her look thin-skinned and petulant.
Who's advising this campaign, anyway? A more competent staff would have figured out how to work the criticism into the campaign without turning it into an apparent obsession, and without the poor-me companion website.
Hillary! Victim-in-Chief.
Hillary trying to follow Bill is sorta like Sonny trying to replace Vito.
the site she doesn’t have - www.votingpresent.net - might explain why she locked up the other two domains
When Bubba was running for governer she was asked how they would handle opponents. Hillary replied, “Humiliate and destroy them.” The beat goes on.

Rotten Rodham for President ?
We best get our act together before the liberal cancer grows.
LOL!!!
Thought you were going to say something about “passed over”, but then that might be pre-mature...
Is that humanly possible?
Is this for real? LOL
All this really tells us is her internal polling is indicating she’s in far more trouble in the primaries than anyone is willing to admit publicly.
It doesn’t surprise me at all.
All she has are negatives.
I remember George Stephonopolophapuss wrote in his book that Slick Willie, (paraphrasing) “when someone gets in my way, I kill them.”
The Slickmeister later explained that he meant that metaphorically. But of course!!
