[Dems2008] Clinton’s campaign in disarray as staff squabble over ‘attack adverts’

Hillary Clinton is filling the airwaves with negative ads attacking
Barack Obama as the race for the Democratic nomination enters a
decisive three-week period.

But her strategy of going on the offensive against a likeable
candidate is causing disarray inside her campaign team.

Spats between her senior staff have leaked to the press and are
causing embarrassment for Mrs Clinton as she struggles to find a
message that resonates with voters and blocks Mr Obama's progress in
the crucial states of Ohio and Texas. Mrs Clinton badly needs to come
up with a successful advertising strategy if she is to win the 4
March primaries. This week she launched her first negative ad in
Wisconsin – which votes on Tuesday – saying that Mr Obama was
refusing to debate with her. But as fast as it went on air, the Obama
campaign fought back saying there had already been 18 debates.

Mrs Clinton seems to be staking everything on a strategy of launching
expensive attack ads in Texas and Ohio, where she still leads in the
polls.
