But she can't so she has created this false dilemma where she tries to convice primary voters that the only reason she doesn't attack is because she is nice but hint hint, wink wink the Republicans won't be so nice about Obama's "deep dark secrets." If such secrets existed, Hillary would have used them.
I doubt there are many Republican or independent voters who would fall for the old "crack-dealing Muslim terrorist" Clinton PR machine smear again. It didn't work on Democrats in South Carolina, and chances are that it would backfire on Republicans as well.
So far nobody has figured out an effective way to smear him, he is like Teflon. The brilliant guys over at the conservative think-tanks aren't likely to come up with anything clever either. Fox News hasn't come up with much (besides imaginary Madrasas). He has too much of a nice-guy image for these types of vicious attacks to be effective.
Oh yeah and BTW I'm sick and tired of hearing people say "Obama hasn't been vetted all the way, Hillary is taking it easy on him but the Republicans will throw the REAL SCARY attacks (and the kitchen sink)."
Hogwash. The Clintons would use ANY available type of negative attack, smear job, wisper campaign, push poll, ect. Anything that would help her secure a victory at this critical stage in the race. The only reason they haven't done more negative attacks on him is because they know that THE ATTACKS SIMPLY WONT WORK. Nobody will believe it and it will make her look like a bully.
The reality is that, given the GOP's incredible track record on race, it would simply be a matter of time before some stupid candidate gave us another Macaca Moment© and handed us an election (or multiple elections).
All we would have to do is nominate Obama, tell him to shut up then sit back and wait for the Grand Old Party to completely implode upon itself from trying to figure out how to walk the line during attacks and hide their true racist colors. One can only imagine with pure glee how many pieces the GOP will have disintegrated into.
Hell, by the time its over and done with there will probably be an entire new cross-section of Republicans openly and proudly pronouncing their racism and white supremacy ideology.
