Campaign 2008
- On NAFTA and Canada - Clinton has attacked Obama for allegedly saying something different to the Canadian government than he is saying on the campaign trail (which Obama and the Canadian government both deny), yet it looks like Clinton may have done exactly what she is accusing Obama of:
Seems the NAFTAgate leak started with -- surprise, surprise -- the Chief of Staff to Canada's conservative PM Stephen Harper. Only the first hint wasn't about stuff the Canadians had heard from the Obama camp. It was about reassurances the Canadians got from the Clinton campaign. According to a reporter who heard the original conversation, Brodie said "someone from (Hillary) Clinton's campaign is telling the embassy to take it with a grain of salt. . . That someone called us and told us not to worry."
- On releasing her taxes - Clinton has refused to release her income tax returns this year, yet attacked her Senate opponent for doing the same thing:
Mr. Lazio pledged to release his tax returns soon after entering the Senate race in May, but had not done so, raising suspicions about whether he had the kind of financial problems that have tripped up other politicians in New York in recent decades.
The campaign of his Democratic opponent, Hillary Rodham Clinton, criticized the delay, asking whether he was hiding something.
...
"Rick Lazio can't explain why it took three months to release his taxes," said Howard Wolfson, a Clinton campaign spokesman.
