As the Huffington Post is reporting (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/02/24/hillary-clinton-mocks-bar_n_88194.html), Hillary Clinton has resorted to mocking Barack Obama as her campaign spirals downward. How is this playing out with audiences? If one of her target audiences is purpotedly women over 60 years of age, it's perhaps backfiring. I spoke with my 80 year old mother this afternoon and she said she though Hillary was "acting awful." She was no amused and, I must admit, she surprised me by how closely she is following the duel between Hillary and Obama. I think Hillary is putting the nails in her own coffin by doing this, but then the Clintons always play dirty. Here's HP's summary of what toke place:Hillary Clinton's campaign is on its last legs after suffering a string of defeats to her rival Barack Obama. Clinton made the decision to go negative in an effort to halt Obama's rising momentum. Today, Clinton was at a campaign rally in Providence, Rhode Island, and she mocked Obama and his message of hope and change in a very theatrical, over-the-top manner.
