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.”

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.”
