Clinton Turns From Anger to Sarcasm
On Saturday, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton showed her angry side, admonishing Senator Barack Obama for a campaign mailing that she called misleading.
On Sunday, before a rally of several thousand, she added a heavy dose of sarcasm.
“Now I could stand up here and say, let’s get everybody together, let’s get unified the sky will open, the light will come down, celestial choirs will be singing,” she said, to a smattering of giggles. “And everyone will know we should do the right thing, and the world will be perfect.”
She added: “But I have no illusions about how hard this is going to be. You are not going to wave a magic wand and make the special interests disappear.”

It would appear the forces inside her campaign who told her to go scorched earth have won out. Strange, considering how well her softer side comes out. You really have to watch the video to get the full effect of this - in text, it doesn't sound all that bad. And then you have to sit back and wonder how she imagines she is going to win Iowa, Missouri, Wisconsin, Washington, and Minnesota in November when she has worked so hard to mock them. when she goes on attack like this (i.e. like yesterday's "enough with the big rallies") tirade, she is mocking Barack AND his supporters, ON TOP of saying they aren't significant or important states multiple times. good strategy (?!)
