The problem will be that if she wins by taking this road and injuring Obama it will do her as much harm as him and there will be many disaffected Democrats who will think twice about voting for her. That should never have happened. She'd have been a controversial candidate anyway because of mixed feelings about her and her husband but this amplifies that, not to mention what it does to Obama should he win.

It takes an extraordinary appealing and demographic spanning candidate like Obama who pledges to take the high road to overcome it. She would have beaten any other Democratic candidate into submission by now. Sadly, I’m afraid taking the low road does work most of the time.
