Time for Kennedy, Jackson, Daschle to respond in kind...

Barack Obama must stay above the fray but he cannot simply allow Hillary and her attack machine to punch him without a response.

Enough with the tit for tat stuff from Obama campaign workers.  It is time for the high profile Obama supporters to step up the counter attacks on Hillary (at least until she stops her attacks on him).

Someone needs to keep hitting issues like unreleased tax returns, the real story behind big donor Hsu, lies about brokering peace in N.Ireland, etc...

Ted Kennedy, Tom Daschle, John Kerry, Jesse Jackson and others need to help out the guy they support by playing the same role Bill Clinton, Terry McCauliflower, Gov. Rendell, Lanny Davis and others are playing for Hillary.  The MSM would not be able to ignore big names like these.  Hell, I'm not sure this isn't a role Oprah can play.  I'm sure she is sick of watching Obama get smeared and no one has a larger audience than Ms. Winfrey.  (Before you sneer at this, remember that SNL is now the Clinton mouthpiece).

I hate the idea of getting into a mudfight, but Hillary and her cronies will not be deterred from smearing Obama because it is the only thing they have left (the kitchen sink).  Some of Obama's high profile supporters may need to start hitting back.
