Obama camp: HRC is taking the low road

Is it possible to win the Democratic nomination in such a way as to make winning not worth it?

The Barack Obama campaign thinks so. It thinks Hillary Clinton’s campaign is willing to take any road to the White House, including the low road.

"They would do anything to win, and that means anything," David Axelrod, Obama’s chief strategist, told me Monday. "There is a frenetic energy around them to commandeer this election in any way they can."

Another Obama senior aide told me he believed Clinton was willing to "destroy the party" just as long as she ends up with the nomination.

Kos could have written this.
