Cheating?

I knew politics were dirty, but cheating? C’mon candidates! I think they can do better than that.
Here is the case. Hilary Clinton was accused of cheating by Obama’s campaign.

“We currently have reports of over 200 separate incidents of trouble at caucus sites, including doors being closed up to thirty minutes early, registration forms running out so people were turned away, and ID being requested and checked in a non-uniform fashion. This is in addition to the Clinton campaign’s efforts to confuse voters and call into question the at-large caucus sites which clearly had an affect on turnout at these locations. These kinds of Clinton campaign tactics were part of an entire week’s worth of false, divisive, attacks designed to mislead caucus-goers and discredit the caucus itself.” (Statement released by Obama’s campaign found on Ron Chusid’s blog)

If what she did was really cheating then shame on her. If Obama’s campaign is just accusing so that they have something else to dissolve favorable public opinion for Clinton, than than wow- I didn’t know his campaign was that low.

Here, Clinton accuses Obama of being soft.

“While the Democratic senator from Illinois was holding his rallies, though, Clinton’s campaign sent out a mailing accusing him of being soft in his support for abortion rights, organized 24 prominent New Hampshire women to send an e-mail echoing that charge and distributed a flier accusing him of seeking a big tax increase on working families. The charges were debatable, but Obama’s only response was a hastily arranged automated phone call decrying the abortion attack. Clinton won the primary with strong support from the mailings’ target audiences — women and working-class voters.” (Ron Chusid)

I believe that Hilary needs to stop accacking her foes and start building her platform.
