And Pat, Obama swore up and down he wouldn't engage in negative politics. Still there is some question as to who actually produced the piece. Yet, this seems to point to Obamers:

Currently the Obama campaign refuses to discuss the spot, only saying: "There is a lot of energy for Sen. Obama on the Web, in communities all over the country ... and frankly, that energy will manifest itself in a lot of ways." But what if those manifestations come on Swift Boat-style anonymous ads? Shouldn't a candidate, especially one campaigning on ending 'negativity' in politics, move to silence such ads when they can? We certainly Hope Obama isn't playing a cynical game of allowing others to attack for him while he stresses how positive and uplifting politics should be.

Obama (and any other campaign) can NOT control what Independent operatives put out on the Internet...The anti-Hillary Ad could have been created by an over-enthusiastic Obama supporter or by some of Rove's GOP operatives who want to take down Clinton and make Obama look "dirty". We don't know who was behind the Ad that has taken off like wildfire...And we may never know who created it. We should NOT jump to conclusions about Obama, Hillary or other candidates.

Whoa. You said a mouthfull there: Obama did it. He's just as bad as the GOP. It was an attack ad.

I disagree with all three. First, the attack ads against Hillary haven't even begun. When they do, you will know the difference. Second, the "ad" about Hillary was about her politics, not her character. The GOP will attack her character.Third, what is it about Obama that suggests he would risk having an ad such as that traced back to him?
