    I would add that it isn't really necessary for Obama to bring up any of the 1990's stuff because it's already out there and has been for quite a while.  Moreover, the COM is more than happy to do it for him.  Obama's complaints about having to fight both the Clinton's are well taken, but given the pure white hatred the COM holds for the Clinton's, perhaps it takes two of them to fight back.

      So lemme see if I'm clear about this.

      Obama shouldn't bring up any of Clinton's 90s stuff because it's already out there?

      Should Clinton bring up Rezko -- the Chicago Tribune and Chicago Sun-Times exhausted the story to death last year and found nothing... isn't that also "already out there"?

      The Planned Parenthood sponsored "Present" votes were more than 5 years ago... aren't they "already out there"?

      Come on... you're asking for a ludicrous double standard.

      I guess everyone's got their own blog now.

        Obama can bring up anything he wants to bring up, of course.  I was merely pointing out that he may not feel the need to do that given the extensive coverage all of the Clintons' many exploits have already received and continue to receive.  I don't know what Clinton "should" have done re Rezko.  I do not now, nor have I ever supported a double standard, much less "a ludicrous double standard."  I really don't like what is going on from either side, but neither of these two is my candidate.  I'm an Edwards supporter, so I don't have a position on this.

          I just don't want to see my candidate boxed into a position where the primary basically becomes nothing more than "How many and how big a punch can Obama take".

          For example, I'd be curious to hear your thoughts on his new SC ad... the "Say Anything, Change Nothing" ad.

          I like it.  I wish it wasn't necessary, but Obama's been getting both barrels from the Clintons for a few weeks now - and I don't see where or how he really has any choice but to return fire.

        he can't bring it up. It's that its been brought up to death and is likely to be bad politics for him. If he wants to run on 90's Clinton era scandals, go for it.
