These latest attacks from Clinton camp are just signs of desperation. You know how people can be dangerous when he/she feels desperate, though. So, it is highly advisable to be resolute and wise against those lies and mudslingings.
Hillary Clinton campaign is starting to reveal their true colors: racist, condescending. That's the reason she's been using those coded words: naive, inexperienced, unelectable, Muslim, now drug dealer. Her black supporters need to call her on that. Playing on people's fears as usually: Bush light.
Hillary’s problem is that she never has to earn anything. She turned a $1,000 investment into $100,000 with the help of some friends, got to run the health care proposal in 93 because she is the president’s wife, get elected NY State Senator because Charlie Rangel pre-arranged everything. Now she’s running her presidential campaign she’s making a mess out of it. The reason they are letting her running the campaign is to show leadership and experience. This is turning out to be a big mistake. Now Bill is trying to salvage the Clinton brand and I believe it’s already too late.
If she can't lead a campaign, how can she lead a country?
Bill Clinton, according to sources, says he's angry with Hillary's team, and I guess he wants now to revamp her campaign. How can he could hep her? Then, God forbid, if she is elected, we can be sure we have a "shadow president" who rules the country in his third term. What a pity it would be!

Hillary Clinton's campaign for the White House suffered a serious setback yesterday when her main Democratic rival, Barack Obama, took a poll lead for the first time in New Hampshire, a key early state.
The latest ratings, part of a trend that has seen him narrow the gap over the last month, has rattled the Clinton team.
In a sign of its unease, Bill Shaheen, a co-chairman of her campaign, yesterday raised Obama's drug-taking as a teenager, even though he had admitted to it in his autobiography.
In an interview with the Washington Post website, Shaheen said the Republicans will target Obama's background. "It'll be, 'When was the last time? Did you ever give drugs to anyone? Did you sell them to anyone?"' Shaheen said.
[Sheriff's note: The Clinton's camp is now apologising for the "DRUG" remark.
Fox News says: "Clinton's campaign said it had nothing to do with his comments...
Shaheen later released a statement apologizing for the remarks.
"I deeply regret the comments I made today and they were not authorized by the campaign in any way," Shaheen said in the statement."]
Obama's campaign manager David Plouffe said it was "an increasingly desperate effort to slow her slide in the poll".
The poll in New Hampshire marks a dramatic change in a state where Clinton has enjoyed leads of between 10 and 20 points in more than 50 polls carried out this year. That advantage has disappeared with less than four weeks left, in what is now shaping up as a tight, unpredictable race.
A Rasmussen poll yesterday put Obama on 31% to Clinton's 28%. Two weeks ago, Clinton had a 7% lead.
Her downward trend was reflected in two other polls published yesterday. A WMUR/CNN poll put Clinton on 31%, down five points since last month, and Obama on 30%, up eight points...

Time Magazine has an article on Obama's red state appeal. (I hate thid red-blue expressions, by the way)

Obama's Red State Appeal - TIME
Political organizing for Democrats in red states like Nebraska can often feel a bit like leading AA meetings. But that hasn't deterred more than 300 Nebraskans from forming a dozen groups for Senator Barack Obama's presidential campaign, and they aren't the only ones. On Monday, the Obama campaign announced that over 300 Iowa and New Hampshire Republicans had decided to cross party lines to support Obama. At Obama events in Oklahoma, Kentucky, Virginia and Georgia, a good 20% of audiences routinely raise their hands when emcees ask for Republicans in the crowd. A "Republicans for Obama" website has 11 state chapters with 146 members. An August University of Iowa even found Obama running third in the state among Republican candidates, behind Mitt Romney and Rudy Giuliani but ahead of both Fred Thompson and John McCain. And a national Gallup poll this month also found that nearly as many Republicans like Obama — 39% — than the 43% that dislike him, compared with the 78% of Republicans who held an unfavorable opinion of Hillary Clinton.
