Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and Tony Rezko

A "gotcha" that wasn't for one candidate, a need to "come clean" for another.

    I wanted to add -- I don't think it's so much that Team Clinton has "gone negative" -- imho, they are going for the jugular ....

    I think this is their response to the Obama team's accusations, including the "voter suppression" claim in Las Vegas -- which is another one of those "coded" accusations.

    If either campaign believes that the logistics unfairly favor one candidate over another that should be addressed. I both hope and believe that TeamObama would challenge arrangments they felt were unfair ... The use of the term "voter suppression" was racially charged and an exaggeration of a reasonable challenge. The challenge was denied, but I expect in 4 years, the substance of that challenge will be addressed in planning for the next caucuses.
