At 8:21 a.m., Phil Singer of the Clinton camp e-mailed a Politico story on Sen. Barack Obama. His subject line was "Politico: Liberal views could haunt Obama," which was the headline of the story.
At 8:32 a.m., Danny Diaz of the Republican National Committee sent an e-mail with the same story, same subject line. The only difference between the two e-mails is that Diaz capitalized every letter in his headline.

Why doesn't it surprise me that Clinton and the RNC are on the same page?
Hillary's record (what little she has) reads more like a Republican except for her flailing about regarding all these vast right wing conspiracies.
Obama must be very pleased with this headline.

What is special about Obama is that he can actually get people to think about the issues, rather than just stick to their own dogma.
If Obama continues to deflect Clinton's attacks, it should be no more difficult to deflect republican attacks. After all, Clinton and the Republicans are on the same team at the moment.
The Republicans need Clinton to be the nominee to win and they know it.

Chelsea Clinton was visiting a wounded Marine at a military hospital. She asked him to name the three people in this world who most scare him.
He replied, "Usama, Obama, and yo' mama"!!!!!!
