Clinton Campaign Providing Some Facts About Last Night.
Seems like what they're saying is true. A few of the links on the Left Coaster aren't working, so if you're interested, you can check them out here

Clinton Campaign Providing Some Facts About Last Night
by Jeff Dinelli

Just in case you haven't seen this already, I thought I'd share some facts that the Clinton campaign is providing today.

Was Barack Obama ever for single-payer health care or not? Well, yes, he was while running for the Senate.

Did he really describe the GOP as the "party of ideas?" I think we've already determined that he did on this site.

And since no one ever really delves into Obama's record on anything, preferring to just dance to his tune, the Clinton campaign has been offering facts for a while now, including on some issues which were brought up last night, starting with those 130-some "present" votes he cast as a lawmaker here in Illinois. One of his "present" votes was on a bill that would offer victims of sexual assault more privacy protection. He has always claimed he favored the bill, but declined to vote in favor of it because it contained a legal error which would strike it down. The fact is he never supported a good bill that is now over seven years old.

Hillary pointed out last night that Obama has given little indication as to how he intends to pay for a lot of his spending proposals. He says that's not true. The fact is over $50 billion of his promised proposals are to this point unexplained.

6. Clinton's ideas on healthcare are the same as in 1993?
Or is her current proposal vastly different from what she proposed back then?

7. Clinton's thoughts on single-payer same as Obama's
http://www.nasw.org/users/nbauman/hillaryc.htm


Q: Would we be better off with a Canadian-style single payer system if it were politically possible?

Clinton: I think our system has so many unique features to it. You know if we were talking 100 years ago, or 200 years ago, before we developed the kind of mixed system that we've got of public and private resources, I don't know, that's a hypothetical, but given where we are today I think it's imperative that we take it step by step, and that we build on what works.
