The hildabeest says she's tough, but when someone calls her on pimping out her daughter, she whines and cries, what a joke...<g> Clinton Touts Battle Scars Amy Chozick reports on the presidential race from Washington, D.C. Hillary Clinton has endured decades of Republican attacks. That may not sound like a good thing, but the Clinton campaign says “oh yes it is.” A new poll suggests that Barack Obama may be the stronger Democrat to beat Republican John McCain. But don’t tell Clinton that. She argues that years of withstanding criticism from Republicans makes her the strongest candidate. “I am battle scarred and I’m proud of those scars,” Clinton told reporters today after touring a General Motors plant outside Baltimore. “I believe I can make the most convincing argument that I am the person best able to be president from day one and best able to beat Sen. McCain.” Clinton is arguing that because her past — both personal and professional — has been so thoroughly vetted by Republican opponents, she’ll be better prepared to withstand anything the GOP may throw at her in a general election. Obama, she says, hasn’t gone through that same process. And this, she says, could make him more vulnerable to a smear campaign like the Swift Boat issue that hurt Sen. John Kerry’s bid for the presidency in 2004. “My track record at being able to take on Republicans is really a proven one. Someone told me today that Sen. Obama has never had a negative ad run against him. Well, get ready because if he’s going to be the nominee that’s going to happen,” she said in an interview with a local ABC network in Washington, D.C. The comments came after an Associated Press-Ipsos poll released Monday showed Obama doing better than Clinton against McCain among some key voters, with a narrow 48% to 42% margin. Clinton and McCain came out tied in the survey with 46% and 45% respectively. The Clinton campaign quickly called a conference call to discuss the new poll and why, they say, it isn’t accurate. Chief strategist Mark Penn said that the numbers were based on “enthusiasm and momentum” and don’t accurately reflect what will happen in November. “Sen. Obama has never had a serious Republican opponent,” Penn said. In a previously recorded interview that aired after Clinton’s appearance on the ABC station, Obama responded to the claims. “I think the notion that the Clintons have coddled me and the Republicans are these big bad people who have a better research machine, is untrue,” Obama said. “I think what we have shown is that we can take a punch.” blogs.wsj.com GZ
