Clinton quietly pushing Obama/Wright story to super-delegates (Wizbang Politics)

Hillary Clinton and her campaign have - wisely - kept a very low public profile on the controversy over Barack Obama's racist, radical, America-hating "pastor," but it seems they may be singing the tune rather differently in private, reports Eloise Harper for ABC News:

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign has strictly maintained a public position not to comment on Sen. Barack Obama's relationship with Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Many times, questions have been answered with -- "you will have to ask Senator Obama about that."

However at a Thursday press availability in Terra Haute, Indiana after a report surfaced that the Clinton campaign was pushing the Wright story to superdelegates arguing that the relationship hurt Obama's electibility -- Clinton refused to deny that her campaign was pushing the story.

Read the whole post at the above link. I suppose it is inevitable that such a huge story will be mentioned in conversations over "electability," but Hillary's team should be careful where they leave their fingerprints. If the Obama supporters end up feeling she has "stolen" the nomination from their Messiah, they might just take their audacity and stay home in the fall.

So Larkin, are you planning for voting for Clinton if she's the nominee, or are you going to go back to your Republican roots and vote for McCain?

Undecided. I can see circumstances where Hillary gets the nomination on the up and up. In that case, I could vote for her even though I don't see much difference between herself and McCain. I don't think she'll pull us out of Iraq. She agreed with the initial invasion and I think she wants to keep Iraq.

If she robs Obama of the nomination though I would probably stay home or vote third-party.

Hmm. . . The question is how long can Bill keep his mouth shut about this? He's got to find a way to get his name back in the headlines.
