Clinton campaign needs a loan

From Hillary Clinton.

Some have criticized Mitt Romney for pumping his own money into his campaign--let's see if there's consistency on this point.

By the way, look for the Clintons to start playing rough (again) with Senator Obama, given how close the Democratic race remains after last night. As Maureen Dowd noted today:
"Tuesday’s voting showed only that the voters, like moviegoers, don’t want a pat ending. Even though Hillary reasserted her strength, corraling New York, California and Kennedy country Massachusetts, she and Obama will battle on in chiaroscuro. Her argument to the Democratic base has gone from a subtext of “You owe me,” or more precisely, “Bill owes me and you owe him,” to a subtext of “Obambi will fold at the first punch from the right.” Hillary’s strategist Mark Penn argued last week that because the voters have “very limited information” about Obama, the Republican attack machine would tear him down and he would lose the support of independents. Then Penn tried to point the way to negative information on Obama, just to show that Obama wouldn’t be able to survive Republicans pointing the way to negative information."

It'll only get rougher.

John McCain, Mitt Romney, and the war in Iraq

So John McCain is claiming that Mitt Romney's position on Iraq is flawed because, he claims, Romney in the past advocated a specific timetable for withdrawing from Iraq.
Well, now. If you go here, you can see that his claim just isn't true.
And in any case, if one IS going to try to twist Romney's words and position and claim he supports "timetables", well, guess what---then one can argue McCain supported them too! See here.

Stop this nonsense, Mr. McCain. You should be better than this.
