Re: The sorest loser in history
Case in point regarding McCain using Hillary's words about Obama against him now in a new commercial:

But the real sting comes with the final guest speaker -- Clinton, shown making a biting remark about Obama at the bitter height of their primary battle for the Democratic nomination in March this year.

"I know Senator McCain has a lifetime of experience he will bring to the White House. And Senator Obama has a speech he gave in 2002," she says in the ad, referring to Obama's stand against the Iraq war.


And more from the article:

Writing in the Huffington Post just after Clinton's "lifetime of experience" remark, former Democratic presidential contender Gary Hart said there were unwritten rules in politics.

"One of those rules is this: Do not provide ammunition to the opposition party that can be used to destroy your party's nominee. This is a hyper-truth where the presidential contest is concerned," he wrote.

McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds confirmed it was the campaign's first use of a Clinton attack line from the primaries, and promised more to come.

"We don't go into our media strategy but it's not unlikely that she will figure in further ads," he told AFP.


Thanks, Hill.
