- 'Different Standard for Clinton campaign' on personal attacks
He continued though to say that there “seems to be a different standard in the Clinton campaign” [on personal attacks]. He cited supporter Bob Johnson, who alluded to Obama’s drug use in South Carolina; Tom Buffenbarger, president of the machinists' union, who vitriolically trashed Obama in Ohio; and Tom Vilsack, who attacked Rudy Giuliani on the number of his marriages and the relationship with his children.
“It took them days to admit they were offensive comments,” Plouffe said of Johnson’s comments. And on Vilsack’s comments on Giuliani, there was “no action there,” Plouffe said. Clinton, Plouffe points out, never apologized for Buffenbarger’s remarks -- calling Obama “Janus, the two-faced Roman god of ancient times” and attacking his supporters as “latte-drinking, Prius-driving, Birkenstock-wearing, trust fund babies” -- at an event she was at and later followed him on stage.

- WP: Even in Victory, Clinton Team is Battling Itself
The depth of hostility toward Penn even in a time of triumph illustrates the combustible environment within the Clinton campaign, an operation where internal strife and warring camps have undercut a candidate once seemingly destined for the Democratic nomination. Clinton now faces the challenge of exploiting this moment of opportunity while at the same time deciding whether the squabbling at her Arlington headquarters has become a distraction that requires her intervention.

Hey, I was thinking that a media mail blitz may be in order. We could send a hundred letters a day for a specific amount of time. I am planning on running this through the group on BarackObama.com
Regarding the NAFTA stuff, It was widely reported when it was Obama, but when the news came abotu HRC involvment all of the suden the media was mute and CNN did not even bother to run the story bt simply ran HRC denial of her involvement. IF they have to take her at her word (and they shoudl) that she had nothign to do with it, they should also take BO at his word that hsi advisor's word was misrepresented and put an end to this injustice
Hey dee! What kind of media mail blitz did you have in mind? Ideally, that's what we'd like to do with Watchdogs, once we get enough people. We're working on setting up a forum now so bigger numbers of people can congregate and organize. Let me know what you're thinking of doing and if you're interested in heading up the blitz on the new forum.

I am thinking about sending out emails and letters to the editors of news, print and radio. I am thinking one hundred per day. One hundred to signify 100% honesty from the media, Hillary's campaign and about Hillary's antics. What do you guys think?
I have never headed up a blitz before but I would do it.
