Articles on both candidates and disclosures. Caveat: From Chicago papers.
Hope Obama has everything out, waiting for Clinton.
Trying to find article on Clinton disclosure- not depending on quotes from her PR guys- that's positive is...not successful at this time. :read:

Maybe in the future it will be mandatory for candidates to get the records out before they enter contests? Would like to see that tif between candidates nulled.

What is Clinton hiding?

March 16, 2008

In politics, honesty is not always the easiest policy. Barack Obama got a reminder of that when he released a list of "earmark" expenditures he has proposed -- including a $1 million request for the University of Chicago Medical Center, where his wife, Michelle, is a vice president. In his meeting Friday with the Tribune editorial board, Obama indicated that he should have left that item to fellow Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin, but he's willing to disclose it and be held accountable.

Hillary Clinton, by contrast, often seems to operate by the maxim that silence is golden. When asked whether she would release a list of her earmarks, her spokesman dodged the question, while declaring that she is "proud of the investments in New York that she has secured." But for now, at least, not proud enough to let voters know what they are.”

“Obama comes clean on Rezko ties at last

March 16, 2008
BY CAROL MARIN Sun-Times Columnist

As Sen. Barack Obama sat back in his chair Friday in a conference room at the Chicago Sun-Times, he talked at length for the first time about Tony Rezko who, that same day, had a steel bunk on which to rest in his narrow cell at the federal lockup in downtown Chicago.

What a distance these two friends have traveled. One is behind bars. The other is rocketing through the stratosphere of presidential politics.”

Opinion on the records of Hillary re: NAFTA. From Yahoo via The Nation (Yeah, I know...)

ABC takes a look at the polling claims and comes up with different numbers:


http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/20...ews-pollin.html

“Peyton Craighill of the ABC News Polling Unit reports: "Mark Penn’s note is full of overblown claims based on current polling. He’s cherry picking numbers from recent polls. Much of his claim of a Clinton swing is based on the latest tracking data from Gallup in which Clinton is now ahead by 7 points. If you go back two more days Obama has a 7-point lead in a separate USA Today/Gallup poll. CBS has a new poll out today that shows a close 46-43 percent Obama-Clinton race. The CBS poll also has the match ups with McCain at 48-43 percent for Obama-McCain and 46-44 percent for Clinton-McCain. We see little indication of a shift to Clinton. Of the nine polls cited in his note, five of them are not airworthy."

Why should they disclose to a BU$H Regime that can't even keep Hillary's and Barack's passport files from being breached? Condi Rice apologized? Don't make me LAUGH!

This is like Rove & Co. outing Plame and then running from it like their #sses were on fire!

It's the SAME OLD CHICKANERY & SKULLDUGGERY that the GOP uses EVERY ELECTION CYCLE!

I don't hear ANYTHING about McCain disclosing anything! I don't hear ANYTHING about McCain's passport files being BREACHED!

UPDATE: NOW it seems like McCain's passport & personal files have been BREACHED as well!...(Wow! It's REAL funny how the SECOND I start complaining about it all of a sudden John McCain is also NOW a victim too!)...Hey KARL BABY! What's the SCAM THIS TIME? :?:

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080321/ap_on_.../obama_passport

Or is it just ANOTHER slip-up from Conned&Seizeda Rice? It's ALMOST believable since this woman couldn't connect one lousy DOT on 9/11! Can this woman do ANYTHING correctly? :?:

Let McCain disclose FIRST! I didn't KNOW the GOP candidates were IMMUNE from introspection!
:angry:
