As the battle for the labor vote between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama is heating up in the crucial March 4 primary battleground of Ohio, Clinton leveled new charges on Saturday of unfair attacks by her Democratic presidential opponent.
Clinton’s claims are based on two Obama campaign mailers, one targeting Clinton’s advocacy for the North American Free Trade Agreement and the other attacking her on her health care stance. . . . “Enough with the speeches and the big rallies and then using tactics that are right out of Karl Rove’s play book. This is wrong and every Democrat should be outraged,” Clinton told reporters Saturday after a campaign rally in Cincinnati, Ohio.
The Clintons complaining about someone using cheap shots on them (for a change). Irony meter is pegged at "off-scale high."
“So shame on you Barack Obama. It is time you ran a campaign consistent with your messages in public. That’s what I expect from you. Meet me in Ohio and let’s have a debate about your tactics and your behavior in this campaign,” Clinton said. The two are set for a debate Tuesday in Cleveland.
Obama, speaking later in the day to reporters in Columbus, Ohio, dismissed the accusations. . . . |
