Hillary's Latest Attack

Just submitted to Balloon Juice:

Two points:

1. I remember hearing that because Mark Penn was leaving the campaign, the new guy (whomever) will be all nicey-nicey, and the party-destroying attacks on Obama would cease? Well I guess from 'bitter-gate' and Hillary's imitation of Romney The Varmint Slayer, we can conclude either (a) Penn is still calling the shots, or (b) Penn never called the (negative) shots and it was always Hillary

2. The Charlie Rose video JC posted has Obama saying the same 'bitter' talking points back in 2004. Except that he was referencing the famous book "What's the Matter with Kansas." Now I haven't read the book yet, but I remember it being an almost Bible to Democrats after the terrible '04 loss. As such, if Obama is just saying what that book said, and the book is accepted gospel by the Democrats, then how dare Hillary mock Obama for this?

Yeah, I know, she'll doing anything to get elected. As some other commenter noted, it's tactics not strategy. But this kind of stuff pisses off the biggest most important constituency she has to convince: the super-delegates.
