July 24, 2007— -- The "latte liberal" line-of-attack is in full force!
Hillary Clinton's decision to call Barack Obama's approach to rogue dictators "irresponsible and frankly naïve" on Tuesday is best understood as part of a broader effort to paint the freshman senator, who has captured the imagination of many upscale Democrats, as the latest in a long line of latte liberals.
Think of it as the Clinton version of the Reagan-Romney three-legged stool.
STRONG ECONOMY:
As Barack Obama's crowds continue to swell, keep telling yourself that the Iowa caucuses will be decided by people who wear eye-glasses rather than by people who listen to iPods. Oh yeah, and hold onto that tape of Obama telling ABC News' George Stephanopoulos that "everything should be on the table" when it comes to fixing Social Security. LINK
STRONG FAMILIES:
Sit back and chuckle as Obama -- who emerged as Planned Parenthood's favorite '08er -- gets pummeled by everyone from Mitt Romney to Al Cardenas to Sean Hannity for backing legislation in Illinois which would have started elements of sex education in kindergarten.
STRONG MILITARY:
Every time Obama answers a national-security question on a topic other than Iraq, hammer him for showing any hint of softness. In Monday's debate, the issue was how to avoid being used as a pawn by the leader of a rogue regime. Back in April, the issue was readiness to use force in the face of an attack from Al Qaeda.

Obama, who counterpunched Clinton on Tuesday by saying that what was "irresponsible and naïve" was voting to authorize the Iraq war, tends to Senate business on Wednesday. For her part, Clinton testifies on the Ballot Integrity Act at 10:00 am ET, she discusses expanded preschool at the Center for American Progress at 10:30 am ET, and she chairs a hearing on the EPA's environmental justice programs at 2:00 pm ET.
