Dick Morris Offers Yet Another Tidbit On His Favorite Topic...

Hillary Rodham, aka The Oval Orifice. (TM)

Hillary and her boys realize that all that Obama has to sell is his purity. He’s like Evian water. He has no particular taste, he's just the un-cola — the opposite of the vicious, destructive, partisan politics that pervades our country and turns off the voters.

Purity is a high standard, particularly for a politician, especially for one who is running against a Clinton. And purity is the easiest thing to sully. Just a drop of ink in a bottle of Evian makes it “dirty” and undrinkable.

So what Wolfson and Hillary are trying to do is to pollute Obama with the remarks of his supporter, to show that he is just like the rest of ‘em — a politician after all. The Wolfson attack is a calculated strategy. It's designed to bring the Obama candidacy back to earth.

But there was a problem in implementing their master plan: Obama wouldn’t play. He's run only a positive campaign and has wisely refrained from saying anything that smacks of a negative against Hillary. He doesn’t need to. The ranks of those who are willing to point out her obvious shortcomings are so legion that Obama doesn’t need to add to the chorus.
