Re: [Dems2008] Clinton -McCain Bittergate

Don't forget McCain:


Obama also came under fire from McCain's campaign.

"Barack Obama's elitism allows him to believe that the American traditions that have contributed to the identity and greatness of this country are actually just frustrations and bitterness," McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds said.

Indiana Sen. Evan Bayh, a Clinton supporter, said the controversy could hurt Obama's effort to win over superdelegates, the Democratic Party insiders who are free to back any candidate at the August nominating convention and could decide the race.

Obama leads Clinton in pledged delegates won in state contests, but neither is likely to reach the 2,024 needed for nomination without support of the nearly 800 superdelegates.

"It's a real potential political problem and it's something for superdelegates and voters to think about," Bayh said.

"We have to win the election in November and the far right wing has a real good track record of using things like this against our candidates," he said.

The Clintons' ability to spin Barack's comments about the anger of so many has been deft so far, but it won't last.
