April 7

From the multitude of news items about who said what when and about whom, there is the ever present assumption that every word out of a candidate's mouth should be gospel truth. It almost seems preferable to have stretched a story in order to make a point about an issue such as health care as Hillary Clinton has done with one of her stump speech stories. There is apparently some difference in the telling of the story by Hillary Clinton and the hospital where the hospital denies that it denied service to a young pregnant women who subsequently died.
On the attacking McCain front it is interesting to note a a CNN story For Pa. voters, economy is Job 1 in the context of an ad by the Clinton campaign which illustrates how the other candidates are not competent enough to answer a ringing phone about the economy crisis.
Then there is the ever constant scandal of some sort. For this week's serving there is the resignation of one a trusted Clinton adviser. There was some discussion how the adviser , Mark Penn, being paid to promote the trade agenda of the Colombian government. The problem started when it became clear that the two agendas, Clinton or Colombia, were diametrically opposed.
