After a tense weekend that saw a marked escalation in an already brutal war of words between the two Democratic frontrunners, Barack Obama’s campaign launched a new salvo Monday with a Web site designed to track and respond to attacks by Hillary Clinton’s campaign.
“We're asking all of you to be vigilant and notify us immediately of any attacks from Sen. Clinton or her supporters as soon as you see them so that we can respond with the truth swiftly and forcefully,” campaign spokesman Bill Burton wrote supporters. “[These] attacks could be phone calls, literature drops, blog posts, mail pieces as well as radio and TV ads. Some could even be anonymous or designed to be.”
The New York senator’s campaign has been ramping up its assault on Obama’s record over the past few weeks, but stepped up attacks this weekend after new polls seemed to show the Illinois senator had dramatically narrowed his deficit in New Hampshire, and even grabbed the lead in Iowa in a survey released Saturday. Just a few months ago, Obama trailed Clinton by double-digit margins in both states.
“Less than twelve hours after that poll came out, the Clinton campaign launched a series of baseless attacks against Senator Obama,” wrote Burton, referring to a Clinton campaign release that accused the Illinois senator of hiding early presidential ambitions. “Panicked by the poll numbers, they even attacked Barack for telling his kindergarten teacher what he wanted to be when he grew up. I wish I were joking.”

Ooh! the knives are out!
Hillary is melting down, she’s out of control.
And why? She’s so far ahead, and Obama isn’t all that great. I think she just hates the thought that she might lose at anything to Obama, even if it is just a stupid primary in Iowa.
She’s going to make a big mistake any day now. This is like watching a train wreck about to happen.
“It will be me.”

Memo to Obama: win Iowa or lose the race

First thought... If he wins in Iowa, he and his team are going to need a bigger server to track all the Clinton attacks. ;-)
Makes me think of the ‘good ole days’ of early 2001, when Rush was going to document the Clinton Administrations’ breaking of it’s first 100 promises.
Those 100 promises were broken at such a pace even Rush couldn’t keep up, as he’s only on 3 hours a day, and the Clintons were busy breaking promises 24 hours a day.
It made my head spin, who knew they could be such liars, even on a national stage. Not even Rush.
