Reading too much into this headline? Clinton goes on attack as Obama closes gap
http://www.guardian.co.uk/uselections08/story/0,,2251772,00.html">Clinton goes on attack as Obama closes gap

Typically when a candidate starts attacking in the final stages of an election, it means their internals are showing bad results. Is this the case with Hillary? The last time she went negative, Obama whiped her out in South Carolina...

Obama apologized, but has yet to fire the man in his campaign who made that comment.

Go figure.

6. Does General McPeak "work" for Obama? Still waiting for the

4. Headline doesn't fit the story.
