I agree it is not as big a deal as some in the media make it out to be because this is politics as usual. You throw whatever you have in your arsenal at your opponent. Some of Obama's supporters are whining no doubt but others are enjoying it because this is exposing the viscous side of the Clintons that just might work well to Obama's advantage .

Regardless of who wins the nominations the Democratic party, going by present trends, might come out a much more divided party than anytime in recent memory and this could damage the party's prospects in the general elections.

I say Obama should use his surrogates to throw mud right back at Clinton - but the he's running a 'different kind of campaign' and as a result he might have become a victim of his own rhetoric.
