Hillary just made a huge mistake!

The Clinton campaign sent out a testy news release after DreamWorks movie studio founder David Geffen, a fan of Sen. Barack Obama, told The New York Times that Sen. Clinton was ambitious and polarizing.

Geffen was once a top donor to former President Clinton, but said in the interview that Clinton is "a reckless guy" and he doesn't think Sen. Clinton can bring the country together during a time of war, no matter how smart or ambitious she is. Clinton communications director Howard Wolfson said there is no room in the campaign for such "personal insults."

"If Senator Obama is indeed sincere about his repeated claims to change the tone of our politics, he should immediately denounce these remarks, remove Mr. Geffen from his campaign and return his money," Wolfson said.

The worst possible thing that Hillary and her people can do at this point is to attack any of her Democratic presidential opponents. It is stupid and just feeds into her image as being harsh and calculating.

And she needs to not say anything negative about Obama, especially as long as he appears to be the "golden child" of the Democratic party right now. If Obama is going to fall, he will fall because he starts to buy into his own hype and believes that he is untouchable. Then his true character will emerge, and if he does not have the right stuff then he will be yesterdays news.

And if he wants to keep that from happening then he needs to resist the urge to make these kind of remarks: "We aren't going to get in the middle of a disagreement between the Clintons and someone who was once one of their biggest supporters," Obama communications director Robert Gibbs said in a statement. "It is ironic that the Clintons had no problem with David Geffen when he was raising them $18 million and sleeping at their invitation in the Lincoln bedroom."

You know all of this does nothing as much as make John Edwards look like the much better choice by comparison.
