Bill has started his "lower expectations" manipulation of SC voters. This time he has turned white & Spanish voters in SC against Obama...nice guy, ol' billy-boy. He's diabolically evil when his self-gratification is at stake. >Clinton Pulls Negative S.C. Ad By Anne E. Kornblut GREENVILLE, S.C. -- Under fire for airing misleading attacks on Sen. Barack Obama, the Clinton campaign has pulled a radio ad that quoted the Illinois senator calling Republicans "the party of ideas" and suggesting he thought those ideas superior to Democratic ones. But the Obama campaign has already counter-punched, launching a new radio spot saying Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton will "say anything" to get elected. The Clinton campaign did not immediately explain why it had pulled its radio spot, which had triggered a furious response from the Obama campaign and touched off a wave of criticism from Democrats who said the Clinton campaign has grown excessively aggressive in recent days. The Obama ad was no less fierce. It reminded voters that Clinton had voted to authorize the war in Iraq, saying she "voted for George Bush's war," and accused her of making "false attacks" on Obama. "Hillary Clinton: She'll say anything and change nothing," the ad says. *************************************************** Reader feedback: DON'T BELIEVE THE CLINTONS, WHEN THEY SAY THEY "EXPECT HER TO LOSE" IN SC! It's the same expectations game they played in NH. Hillary was 25 points ahead of Obama just like 2 months ago. No one should be surprised if she wins. Her campaign knows damn well that she has a good chance of winning SC.

An ongoing study by the Project for Excellence in Journalism placed Edwards a distant sixth among Democratic and Republican candidates in volume of campaign coverage last week; the former senator from North Carolina was a main newsmaker or significant presence in just 6 percent of campaign stories. Obama and Clinton? Almost five times the amount of coverage. This is a source of unending frustration for the Edwards team. "It's been very difficult," says campaign manager David E. Bonior, the former longtime House Democratic whip. "We've been really trying to make news, working our hearts out on it."

John Edwards was sitting on his bus, in comfortable bluejeans, pondering the uncomfortable realities of his candidacy. He hasn't won a thing, and he is sandwiched between two historic candidates, Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama, who are gobbling up attention like that first-generation video game, Pac-Man. For two days, his "Main Street Express" lumbered down the back roads and two-lane highways of this state, searching for hope and a chance. Edwards was born here, and he won the South Carolina Democratic primary in 2004, and he became his party's vice presidential nominee after that, but this time it's a whole different deal.
