Hillary the Decider?
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyOn yesterday's Clinton campaign conference call, I was particularly struck by this exchange, abridged slightly, between Slate's John Dickerson and Clinton spokesman Phil Singer: Dickerson: The expertise that Senator Clinton is claiming on the economy seems kind of at odds with the fact that you've got a broad ideologically-diverse group of experts who basically panned this idea of lifting the gas tax and one of the reasons they panned it is that they don't believe that the money is going to regular folks is actually going to happen.

Clinton Camp: Obama Throwing Bombs
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyIn a conference call today, among other things, top Clinton adviser Phil Singer had this characterization of Barack Obama's recent campaign tactics: "The Obama campaign is throwing as many bombs as possible."It was a remarkable characterization from a campaign that has been throwing at Obama, in the words of Keith Olbermann, among others, "Everything but the kitchen sink."
