From a member of the Clinton campaign, naturally:
"Harold Ickes, a senior adviser to Senator Clinton, said on the conference call that the Clinton campaign’s chief objective was not to sully Mr. Obama’s image or record, but to cast a spotlight on lightly examined or unknown aspects of both. “This is not a question of trying to damage somebody — this is a question of trying to fully understand all the particular aspects of each of the candidates,” Mr. Ickes said. “There’s not another shoe in her closet to drop. It is clear that too much is yet unknown about Senator Obama.”
Wow. One can only laugh at all the falsehoods embedded in that statement. Of course this is about damaging Senator Obama--Senator Clinton has criticized Obama over and over again in recent weeks. Why do that unless she were trying to damage his standing. And what does Mr. Ickes mean, there "not another shoe" in Mrs. Clinton's closet to "drop." Of course there are--if there weren't, the Clintons wouldn't be reluctant to release their tax returns, and wouldn't be dragging their feet in making public her papers as First Lady.
