Sounds to me like Drudge is circulating the picture not the Clinton campaign.

If a tree falls in a forest with no one to hear it, then does it make a sound?

I don't see the big deal. If it hadn't been posted on Drudge, this photo would not have achieved enough attention to warrant a posting on the Free Republic. The important aspect of this story is not who began circulating this picture by e-mail but who sent it to Drudge. The entire episode would seem, to me, to be a net positive for Mr. Obama's campaign and a net negative for Mrs. Clinton's campaign.

It has been discussed that the Clinton camp did not deny circulating the picture. That is also not the larger point. The could have been circulated by either camp. The picture could have been circulated by a staffer of Mrs. Clinton without permission in an unofficial or personal capacity; though innocent, the fact that it originated in the Clinton camp prevents them from denying that it was they that began circulating the picture. But, because this little episode has played out so negatively for Mrs. Clinton, I believe that it is more important to determine whether or not the Obama camp sent the picture to Drudge to drive the news in positive direction for their camp during a lull in the primary schedule.

Yes, Hillary, there is a vast left wing conspiracy.

I always thought the Clintons were beyond contempt for many of their shenanigans, but this latest act probably "takes the cake".

She can kiss that Veep slot goodbye!

Can this get any more ridiculous? Of course it can, and will. 'Round about October, this will all seem tame in comparison.

Honestly, a month ago, I thought the RNC was behind the Obama Smear Emails, but that was before Obama was 11-0! I doubt they really feared him back then. Clearly, it was Hillary. She has proven she is capable of anything! This is disgusting!

I look forward to finding out who is the source of this misrepresentation. I am just as inclined to suspect it is right wingers who want to run against Clinton, as I am that it is Clinton. If it is Hillary, it would add to the defilement of the Clinton Legacy.
