The controversy over the Pentagon decision to award a $35bn refuelling tanker contract to EADS spilled into the presidential race yesterday, when a senior Democrat suggested that John McCain, the Republican nominee, was responsible for the deal being "outsourced" to a European company. Nancy Pelosi, the Democratic House speaker, said Boeing had been on course to supply the US Air Force with tankers until Mr McCain "intervened". "My understanding is that it was on course for Boeing before. I mean, the thought was that it would be a domestic supplier for it," Ms Pelosi told reporters. "Senator McCain intervened, and now we have a situation where the contract may be - this work may be outsourced."

Obama Adviser Says Clinton "A Monster" Mar 7 08:57 AM US/Eastern By DAVID STRINGER Associated Press Writer LONDON (AP) - An adviser to Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama was quoted Friday as telling a Scottish newspaper that rival Hillary Rodham Clinton is "a monster," in remarks she later attempted to retract. Samantha Power, a foreign policy adviser to Obama's presidential campaign and Pulitzer Prize winner, was quoted as saying in The Scotsman newspaper that Clinton was stooping to low tactics to recover ground in the race to win the party's presidential nomination. The Harvard professor is quoted as telling the newspaper Obama's team had been disappointed with Clinton's campaign win in Ohio on Tuesday. "In Ohio, they are obsessed and Hillary is going to town on it, because she knows Ohio's the only place they can win," Power is quoted as saying. "She is a monster, too—that is off the record—she is stooping to anything." Power issued a statement Friday in which she admitted the comments but said she "deeply regretted them." "It is wrong for anyone to pursue this campaign in such negative and personal terms," she said in the statement. "I apologize to Senator Clinton and to Senator Obama, who has made very clear that these kinds of expressions should have no place in American politics." Obama's spokesman Bill Burton said the remarks were not in keeping with the senator's views. "Senator Obama decries such characterizations which have no place in this campaign," Burton said. Though Power immediately attempted to withdraw the remark, the newspaper insisted she had agreed in advance that her interview would be conducted on the record. The newspaper defended its right to publish the comments, saying terms of the interview—part of a book tour—had been agreed in advance. "You just look at her and think, 'Ergh'," Power is quoted as telling the newspaper. "But if you are poor and she is telling you some story about how Obama is going to take your job away, maybe it will be more effective. The amount of deceit she has put forward is really unattractive." The Scotsman interview comes one day after a Clinton campaign spokesman compared Obama to independent prosecutor Kenneth Starr, the Clintons' chief nemesis of the 1990s. Clinton herself declined Thursday to comment on the comparison, made by her chief spokesman, Howard Wolfson, in a conference call with reporters and also in a memo distributed by the campaign. Wolfson said Obama's recent statement that he plans to be more critical of Clinton's record is reminiscent of the attacks the Clintons endured during the investigations in the 1990s. "After a campaign in which many of the questions that voters had in the closing days centered on concerns that they had over his state of preparedness to be commander in chief and steward of the economy, he has chosen instead of addressing those issues to attack Senator Clinton," Wolfson told reporters in a conference call. "I for one do not believe that imitating Ken Starr is the way to win a Democratic primary election for president." In a separate interview for Britain's left-leaning New Statesman magazine, published Thursday, Power warned Clinton's campaign against reveling in the trial of an Obama donor over corruption allegations. Antoin "Tony" Rezko is accused of engineering a multimillion-dollar fraud scheme with a member of two state boards. "I don't think it's a good idea for the Clintons to get into a competition over who's got the most unsavory donations, you know what I mean?" Power was quoted as telling the magazine. Though Obama currently holds a lead in delegates over Clinton, the aide insisted that his campaign team remained cautious over his prospects. "We're not there yet, baby," she was quoted as telling the magazine. "It's pretty unglamorous, all cheeseburgers and Cheetos so far." But, she told the magazine that there are plans to integrate some of Clinton's staff into the campaign, should Obama's rival withdraw from the race. "If he does well, one of the questions will be how to integrate the Clinton people," she is quoted as saying. "Because we want to maximize our technical expertise and be welcoming." Power made the comments to the New Statesman before Tuesday's contests.
