Clinton or Obama?

The Clinton campaign continues to take shots at the Obama campaign.  There are a number of accusations being made by each of the primary opponents about his/her praise of Republican ideas.  However, according to Annenberg Political Fact Check, Obama did not praise the ideas of Republicans but praised the political prowess of Ronald Reagan.  Both candidates have praised Reagan’s political skills.  Hillary in Tom Brokaw’s book, and Obama to the Reno Newspaper editorial board.  However, Obama never said that the Republican party is the party of good ideas as reported by the Clinton campaign.  As for the personal barbs that were being traded back and forth on debate night, according to Annenberg Political Fact Check;  Hillary was a board member of Walmart and was paid $18,000 a year for six years, $1500 a meeting and left with $100,000 worth of Walmart stock.  Obama did do some work for a law firm that represented a community housing group, not for Rezko directly,  that was going to partner with Rezco in order to build low income housing on the south side of Chicago. Later Rezco became a big campaign contributor and the Obama campaign states that he returned all of that money.  As for the third candidate in the race, and the one that has been reported as the one who probably benefited most from the Clinton Obama dogfight,  Edwards stated that the last CNN poll that all three candidates were pitted against John McCain showed him being the only one that could beat John McCain in the general election.  However, the poll that Edwards is referring to was taken in early December.  The latest poll taken about three weeks ago did not list Edwards at all and showed both Obama and Clinton beating John McCain.
