AT DAILYKOS, more blowback on the idea of Hillary going negative:

Hillary’s backers reportedly are planning to fund a Swift Boat-style 527 assault on the favorite for the Democratic nomination, Barack Obama. If we act now in a concerted way, perhaps we can head off Hillary’s Swift Boats before they slime the “change” candidate and tear down his winning coalition. I don’t think Hillary can win this anymore, but she could damage Obama’s chances in the general and hurt a wide mandate for progressive action.

Even the threat of going negative is hurting Hillary with Obama supporters. I’m not surprised. She wouldn’t be so constrained if Edwards were the frontrunner.

UPDATE: Is Hillary getting a secret boost from her pals at Diebold? But of course!
