The ties that bind.

Hillary has more baggage than Samsonite.

"DES MOINES, Iowa - Democrat John Edwards said Friday the top strategist for presidential rival Hillary Rodham Clinton has ties to the controversial Blackwater security firm, and warned against installing "a group of corporate Democrats" to replace the Bush White House."

"Edwards suggested similarities between Clinton, the Democratic front-runner, and the Republican president.

"George Bush has been a perfect example of cronyism because Blackwater has given hundreds of thousands of dollars to Republicans and to President Bush," he said in an interview with The Associated Press.

"I also saw this morning that Senator Clinton's primary adviser, Mark Penn, who is like her Karl Rove, his firm is representing Blackwater."

"It is the reason I continue to say we don't want to replace a group of corporate Republicans with a group of corporate Democrats," he said. Blackwater is a private security firm whose employees have been accused of using their weapons too aggressively against Iraqi civilians and police."

The PA greens as a matter of fact.
Also gave lots of dough to Dick Santorum.
Coincidence? I think not.

Great fun watching his show.

He was a great entertainer and a great painter...I enjoyed his shows for a year or two.

Passed away in 1995

it will get little play and then it will be blacked out.

i'm not sure that Blackwater is the type of company that Hillary wants to associate with; but to avoid this, she should ask Penn to step down or quit all his lobbying activities.
Absent that, an anti-Blackwater statement would help. Right now this is just innuendo.

Of course, the Hillary boosters can point to any number of corporate lobbyists on other campaigns. This is longstanding election consultant behavior; they work as lobbyists during non-election years because they already have all the contacts.

Obama's startegy is for Edwards and Clinton to tear each other up and Edwards is playing his part.

Clinton probably won't get drawn into anything major with Edwards. At this rate Richardson may take third in Iowa.
