Kindergarten, Indeed

A weekend of squabbling between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama has prompted the Obama campaign to create a Web site to track all HRC attacks -- called, well, Hillary Attacks -- launched since the Nov. 10 Jefferson-Jackson dinner ...

Yes, it's come to this, voters. No longer are you being implored to evaluate differences between job creation and health care plans. Instead you're asked to keep a tally of every slam and dig issued by phone, mail, radio and television.

"We're asking all of you to be vigilant and notify us immediately of any attacks from Senator Clinton or her supporters as soon as you see them so that we can respond swiftly and forcefully," writes Obama campaign manager David Plouffe.

Yawn. It was clear the Obama campaign dropped its claim to taking the higher road a long time ago.

Au contraire. Don't blame the victim. In this case, Hillary's her own campaign attack b*tch.

It is good to see Hillary go so negative so intensely. It shows her desperation and makes Obama look even more like a breath of fresh air. I think she is just trying to minimize the impact of her eventual loss in Iowa. Initially she wasn't going to campaign there. It is beginning to look like she should have taken that advice. She is no Bill Clinton.
