Gotta give a hand to John McCain's campaign for making lemonade out of served-up lemons. As I noted yesterday, you could see it coming that the McCain folks would get as much mileage as they could out of the "bitch" swipe at Dem Hillary Clinton in South Carolina Monday. They didn't disappoint. They got a two-fer -- first they played victim to alleged liberal big media (in this case CNN or Clinton News Network in McCainspeak), always a tried and true Republican-approved ploy. And then they used it as a fund raising gambit asking for $25 to $2,300 to help slay the Hillary dragon in the general election (avoiding the fact that they may not make make it out of the primaries). You can't pay enough for campaign kismet like this. As the Guiness beer commerical says best: "Brilliant!"
My daily link has a good replay package including original video and campaign e-mails stoking the fire.
Wonder if Wolf Blitzer of the Clinton News Network will ask Hillary her perspective on McCain at tonight's Dem debate in Las Vegas.
