Hillary as New Nader?
So let's say that Obama wins but is so damaged by Clinton's attacks that he loses to McCain.
Does the hate fest that was unleashed on Nader for causing Gore to lose (supposedly) now get directed to Hillary for single-handedly destroying Obama's prospects after it was clear she couldn't win?
The National Organization for Women (NOW) president, Kim Gandy, on Democracy Now! today made me sick by her comments on how Hillary wasn't being negative and that in fact it was Obama who was the mud slinger. She also notes Hillary was always anti-NAFTA. [explicative deleted]
What's sad for me is that it seems that Obama's campaign apparently has decided to take the bait and join the battle on that level. I don't think he can do that without seriously damaging his brand. Maybe being out of demographically unfriendly Pennsylvania will have them re-evaluating that decision.

You've noted the big debate in the Democrats. Run towards the middle (ala Clintons/DLC/Corporate Sellouts) and focus on swing states or expand the base (Obama/MoveOn.org/Dean) and campaign in all 50 states.
