Please stop trying to read something into Clintons not campaigning with Obama!
That would be a complete waste of time and resources. They need to be campaigning separately except in certain instances. Having the Clintons and Obama at the same rally means there are tens of thousands of people who are not being reached while the campaign's top principals are all focusing their attention on the same group of people.

They are spreading out because that allows them to cover more ground and reach more voters. And I think the MSM knows this but they keep insinuating that there's a problem between Obama and the Clintons because they're not wandering the country connected at the hip like the McCain-Palin show.

They keep stressing this because 1) they want a story; and 2) they want a picture.

Don't fall for it! The Obama/Clinton team are doing this just right!

1. MSM trying to drum up division wouldn't be a surprise at all. Obama's strategy is good
Between him, Michelle, the Bidens and the Clintons, they have more headlining power individually and can cover much more ground than the McCain/Failin duo and Todd and his snowmobile buddy.

4. and that's EXACTLY what they're doing
At least the MSNBC dork I was watching yesterday

He tried to make a BFD about Bill leaving the Scranton rally early-

The question they NEED to be asking though? Why can't Palin campaign on her own?

2. What? The Clinton's are refusing to campaign with Obama you say? How racist!
That's the only possible conclusion I can draw. There is not one other single reason possible in the universe that the Clintons might be campaigning in a different place than Obama on any given day.

3. You don't want to put all the golden eggs in one basket.
That would be stupid. Spread them around! I don't question the Obama strategy anymore.
