I wonder if Sen. McCaskill will come forward and clear this "snubbing" issue up

for the people who have nothing better to think about...

I wonder if it would be helpful for him to really dig in and deny the charges, since the major news networks are running with it?

Right here at DU, earlier today, there was a post that she said he had turned to talk to her. And no I will not go find the damn link.

3. She did. Only problem was it didn't match what Obama's camp said.

Two different versions are out there now.

She has said it was not a snub

�I was surprised by the reports this morning,� Obama said. �I was turning away because Claire asked me a question as Sen. Kennedy was reaching for her. Sen. Clinton and I have had very cordial relations on the floor and off the floor.�

�Claire� is Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.), who just happened to be traveling with him today as his campaign headed to Kansas and Missouri. She stood to his left Monday night � and behind him today, vouching for his version of the story.

�It was not a snub,� she said. �It was one of those accidents.�

5. "Who just happened to be traveling with him today"

And they still couldn't get their stories straight?

Sigh. I don't have cable. I miss all the excitement.

6. Please so many Democrats from Kennedy to Sharpton have already

expressed their outrage at Bill's tactics. If you know of Democrats who have come out in support Bill's tactics, please feel free to post names and information.

Heck, some Clinton supporters are proud that they will do "whatever it takes to win" whether its the primary or the GE.

8. She can't - after snub he talked to McCaskill and she's so stated - but the snub is on the record if

Edited on Tue Jan-29-08 03:51 PM by papau

you accept the photographers statement and the eyes down not looking at McCaskill who is not even in photo - indeed you have to forget McCaskill is second excuse - Obama campaign's first try was that he wanted to give Ted and Hillary some uninterrupted quiet time, or words to that effect.

But then, if you want to say the photographer doesn't know squat and his statement should be ignored - then there never was a snub.
