I don't know how I feel about this one; on one hand, I think the Clinton campaign should take note of how Obama responds to his people going off message. Obama does it with a quickness, Clinton lets it linger and do the damage she intended
On the other hand, I'd like to know the answers to some of these questions too. What other issues got pushed to the side so the Clintons could handle their personal crap?
Maxim Thorne, a member of the Obama campaign’s GLBT Leadership Council and former chief operating officer at the Human Rights Campaign, wrote that Hillary Clinton should disclose her whereabouts "when Monica was having sex with Bill." Thorne penned his message in a lengthy e-mail to a listserv with hundreds of recipients, according to a report in Politico.
"[W]hen Bin Laden was building Al Qaeda, Bill and she were fighting impeachment, fighting Paula Jones, fighting Katherine Wiley," Thorne wrote, in a reference to two women who claimed to have had affairs with President Clinton.
Thorne’s resignation from the Obama GLBT Leadership Council came after Obama campaign spokesperson Tommy Vietor issued a statement saying, "These comments have no place in this campaign."

And, I hope he's right
"There is a small core of angry people on both sides who say things they obviously regret later," said Gary Fitzsimmons, the openly gay Dallas County, Texas, clerk, co-founder of the Stonewall Democrats of Dallas and an Obama campaign worker.
"But most people know this is a debate within the Democratic Party and they will unite behind the nominee, whichever one of the two it turns out to be," Fitzsimmons said.
