Dueling Memos: Obama and Clinton camps club each other
One key point: When Hillary denounced Obama today as "naive" over their difference last night, this reading of what Obama said seems way overstated, as Matthew Yglesias argues. It drifts into at least the vicinity of Pelosi-to-Syria La-La Land.

But while Hillary did draw the contrast between them first last night, it should be noted that the Obama camp also escalated matters early today with a memo hitting Hillary for having "reversed" herself since April.

This hit, which came before Hillary's "naive" comment, is a bit of a Drudgy attack -- indeed, Drudge has for many hours now been flacking the same alleged contradiction the Obama people pushed this morning.

So Obama's no wallflower here. Nor should he be; these guys should be arguing with each other.

1. Dueling memos......
I cannot help but to picture keyboards dueling,
tapping memos out to the tune of Dueling Banjos.

2. It speaks volumes
when this is the only difference between them in the news. Clones as my sister says.

3. I have to say I am happy to see a robust fight break out. The gloves
are off and whoever wins these rounds will be ready to face the onslaught of the GOP.

As much as it makes me uncomfortable to see two of "ours" fighting...it is needed. I read an article yesterday that said that Obama definitely needs to get into a dust-up to show his true colors. I believe Clinton needs that too. What is this if it isn't the most important contest going on in the world.

Fight away!! We in the DU will survive it and more importantly the Democratic nominee will be the better for it.

4. Not important

Election is still too far off. No one will remember this in September, let alone next February.
Good practice for the campaigns as far as rapid response using live ammo, but that's about it.

My compliments to the interns in both camps.
