After a week of Hillary Clinton on the offensive and Obama on the defensive with the Wright controversy going on, Clinton's positive rating is down from 45% to 38%, but Obama's has remained almost steady:

I think she just may be trying to dig herself out of a hole at this point. The negative campaigning and fratricidal hardball tactics can't be doing anything at this point but polarizing the hardcore Clinton and Obama supporters and alienating the rest of the Democrats, including the Democratic establishment. And yet still she continues on.

I suppose she has somehow justified it all to herself--probably something along the lines of, "Well it's no worse than what the Republicans are gonna do--if he can't handle this barrage, then he wouldn't have won in the general anyway." But when certain things come from a fellow Democrat, it stings more than it ever could coming from a Republican--for example, that McCain has the right experience to be commander-in-chief but Obama does not.

I wish I knew what was going on in that head of hers.

PS: Tim Russert looks like a turnip.
