Political bits II

Someone recently said, "whether they're winning or losing, the Clinton's always claim the top headline."

A panicked and cash-short Clinton campaign is seriously considering giving up on the Nevada caucuses and on the South Carolina primary in order to regroup and to save resources for the massive 19-state mega-primary on February 5.

At the same time, some top independent expenditure groups supporting Clinton have been exploring the creation of an anti-Obama "527 committee" that would take unlimited contributions from a few of Clinton's super-rich backers and from a handful of unions to finance television ads and direct mail designed to tarnish the Illinois Senator's image.

Really? Clinton is going to take the blame for trashing the eventual nominee, potentially destroying her legacy among Dems forever?

(And from what I understand, the AFSCME leadership is already under fire for their tiny attacks on Obama.)

Later: AFSCME and Emily's list vociferously deny this. I guess they must have gotten some feedback, eh?
