Short and unsweet The Republican National Committee has just released everything it could dig up about the Democratic presidential candidates, and it isn't a pretty sight. Here's an abbreviated version of the committee's key findings: • Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois: "An inexperienced, insulated, arrogant, unabashed liberal." • New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson: "A self-promoting, Washington insider with a controversial record." • Sen. Christopher J. Dodd of Connecticut: "A New England liberal, past his prime, on an unrealistic vanity run for the White House." • Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York: "A calculating, divisive, lifelong liberal with political baggage." • Sen. Joseph R. Biden Jr. of Delaware: "An undisciplined, self-described Northeast liberal, in love with the sound of his own voice." • Former Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina: "A hypocritical, inexperienced liberal with a new negative attitude." • Former Gov. Tom Vilsack of Iowa: "A tax-hiking, mismanaging, 'blip' candidate with no foreign policy experience." |
