On myspace someone submitted these suggestions to me for how the think Hillary's campaign needs to be re-directed, modified in order to ensure victory on March 4th. What do you think about these suggestions reproduced below in their entirety?

12 POINT FIGHTBACK PLAN
(Credits: "Unbreakable" off MySpace! (http://www.myspace.com/hillaryclintonforum))
Hillary we lost the purple states...I want to express my feelings about your campaign. I was disappointed but not surprised. Your biggest obstacle is people not knowing his record, or even who he is, he is a very captivating speaker...(should have been a preacher), I know you can be tough, soft isn't going to get you where we need you. It's time to roll up the sleeves, and get a little dirty. As far as I'm concerned, Obama is hollow, looks good on the outside but empty on the inside. He needs to be tamed, he's wild right now, in order to catch up, you are going to have to put his voting or non-voting out to the public, or his total lack of presence on voting important issues as a senator. Define his character since he won't.
1. You need to change your message of 35 years of experience, the speech is boring and has no hype, your writer must change your message. It needs to be explosive, you need to find your voice again. Take John Edwards' message with his permission of course on economics. There needs to be some flair. If you don't take his message I will bet you Obama will.
2. Hit hard on fair, factual and public issues.
3. The public is watching and listening to everything, Obama has capitalized on this, where you have failed.
4. I can't tell you how many African Americans that have told me they were voting for Obama, and I ask why, followed by this is a "chance to make history with a black President". My reply is, no I AM NOT VOTING FOR OBAMA, I won't be a Tramaobamas supporter. Ater I finished speaking of his voting record on key issues, that person left my house, saying that you had her vote, and how she was so un-informed on the issues.
5. Your gonna have to pullout the stops, what I mean by that is the African American vote, he is capitalizing in that area, just because he is black. He is appealing to the young and older women, why because of the speeches he gives and he has good looks, and his skin is of lighter color, (trust me when I say this I am a black woman), he's like a virus spreading to the unknown victims. You must bring out a well known African American (good looking, male or female) to counter-act his reign, and hype up your campaign.
6. I feel your campaign is lagging, we aren't where we should be until almost voting time, by then it's too late to be effective. Obama speaks of change, unification, does he speak of specific tasks, he does speak of bringing healthcare cost down and gun control which is a conservative view.
7. Texas will be very important, like I have mentioned several times, you need to be running hispanic tv ads. He is taking over the working class, middle class vote.
8. Your promoters need to play more on what Michelle said about being REALLY PROUD. There needs to be a commercial with her saying that, then the add should go on to say about being proud to be an American everyday.
9. You can still pull this out but the sleeves have to comeup and gloves have to come off.
10. I know you can't be everywhere but you must, must spend time personally yourself in the states that are voting in the near future. While you send others off up coming election states. Do you know where Huckabee is headed right now? I will tell you Indiana. I WILL NOT VOTE FOR OBAMA UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES IN NOVEMBER.
11. Who is Obama really? They call him something else in Hawaii? We should know who he is from high school all the way upto now. You have 9 losses in a wrong, you're depending on Texas and Ohio to pull you out of this slump, 82% of people polled said they would be happy if Obama won. There're voting on his character and his speeches, his newess, freshness, you need allies that have that Obama appeal, that come out, tv ads, rallies and anywhere else to support you.
12. The country knows who you are. Super Delegates are good, but don't count on them, unless we can deliver a shiney new Hillary, that has regained her voice and a message that is as equally captivating as Obama's. You must fight harder and tougher and pull out all the stops at this point.
To sum all of this up, you need a new message to the people, that will attract their attention. New speech writer. I see no difference in the last one, there is no pizazzz.
You can take punches, now let's see you throw some back. Obama is out of control, like a freight train, he must be stopped now, if we have any hope in Texas and Ohio. Oh how I wish I had direct contact with your campaign manager.
