Moral High Ground versus Moral Low Ground
James Carville said that he, Gov. Jon Corzine and Gov. Ed Rendell offered to pay the entire Michigan Democratic primary revote with $30 million they raised. Claims the Obama camp declined offer. Previously in March, they had only offered to pay for half the costs.

Seems to me like that would be bribery.... paying for votes??

James Carville said: "the moral high ground is being occupied by the Clinton Campaign...."

Maybe they should give the money to Hillary to pay off her campaign debts. It's shameful and unethical for Hillary to continue to beg for money from American citizens (especially in difficult financial times as the present), when she knows she has no chance of winning the nomination.

Here's a short list of Hillary's morals:
--building debt, and not paying creditors, (i.e. University in Indiana),
--attacking the democratic nominee(Obama)when he should be focusing on the GE,
--trying to manipulate the citizens of Florida and Michigan,when she agreed with the original decision and her main campaign
staffers also agreed and were on the board that helped to make the decision (making sure their votes were counted wasn't
important until she lost the nomination)
--trying to compare her campaign (for Floriday/Michigan votes) to the civil rights movement and voting in Africa,
--etc.

Hillary Clinton preys on people and situations and she is a flip flopper to say the least. She'll attempt to manipulate any and every situation she can in order to get what she wants (i.e. using the RFK statement during vulnerable times experienced by the Kennedy Family).

Given the character she displays, I would guess that if Hillary Clinton was President the situation would be the same as if McCain was in the White House: "More of the Same". It's evident in the way she conducts her campaign and it's evident in her supporters actions, i.e., Lani Davis, James Carville, Terry Mcauliffe etc. Seems more like the Moral Low Ground to me.

What we have in Obama as the Democratic Nominee and soon to be President Obama is Honesty, Intergity, & Fairness.
Barack Obama is the epitomy of the Moral High Ground.
