Can Obama Campaign Remain Positive and Still Beat Clinton?
CNN commentator Roland S. Martin maintains in a march 6, 2008, commentary that Senator Barack Obama faces a tougher task [than Senator Hillary Clinton, his rival for the Democratic presidential nomination in the United States] because of his denunciation of the politics of old, which have sort of tied his hands.” See “Commentary: Now it’s Obama’s turn to make adjustments.” “He is expected to be Mr. Positive on the campaign trail, and not go negative against Clinton,” Mr. Martin wrote. “Yet there are ways in which he can better define Clinton that will not only not be seen as negative, but also better reposition him leading into the final contests.” I concur with Mr. Martin’s analysis.
