Chicago Tribune: "This Clinton Attack On Obama Could Boomerang." "The Clinton people are citing a kindergarten essay by Obama as evidence against him in a presidential campaign. Good thing he was born before widespread pre-natal ultrasounds. Who knows how they might've used that against him? Clinton's people have thrown similar jabs before at Obama but it hasn't fazed him.

Clinton Campaign Chair Said "We're Going To Stay Positive....We're Not Going To Attack Our Fellow Democrats." "Terry McAuliffe, Clinton's fundraiser and adviser, provided more evidence of that general-election strategy and warned other candidates that going negative could hurt them in Iowa. 'We're running our campaign for president,' McAuliffe said. 'We're going to stay positive and get our message out. I'm not worried about what the other candidates are going to do. I think if other candidates want to go negative, they do that. I think you do that at their peril here in Iowa. People don't like that. But we're not worried about anyone else. We're running our campaign. Tonight, she's saying she wants to talk about taking the heat to the Republicans. We're going to focus on the Republicans. We're going to focus on winning the White House. We're not going to attack our fellow Democrats. That's not what we want to do." [MSNBC, 11/11/07]
