| 14. This isn't even a "story." It should be called what it is: a Clinton smear. |

Which is fair game, because this is a pretty tight political race.
So this is one of many pieces of slime (public campaign financing flip-flop, wife is a misogynist, not vetted, fairy-tale, hopemongering, no solutions, etc.) that will be thrown against the wall to see what, if anything, will stick.
If it seems like they change their minds on a daily basis, that's true. With key contests coming up relatively soon, and Clinton not being able to score any policy points on health care versus Obama, we're dealing with quantity of attacks as opposed to logical attacks or even accusations that make sense.
My advice? This latest pot shot just makes Clinton look even more desperate. Turn the other cheek and just ride it out. Like everything else, once the Clinton's realize they are only firing up their own supporters with this slander and repulsing any potential independents with the pettiness of their attacks, they'll come up with something new.
Hopefully. We aren't dealing with the brightest folks, you know.

It will have the same effect at the polls as Bill's SC attacks. |

It seems like every time something negative comes up about Obama it is overblown! |

The story isn't a big deal in itself, but inasmuch as it is an attack on Obama as hero, it is big. |
