Obama: "Hillary, I'm Looking Forward To You Advising Me"

Democratic candidates gathered in Iowa today for their final debate before the January caucuses. The overall feeling of the debate was cordial considering the recent heightened spats between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton's respective campaigns.

The atmosphere tensed up briefly when Obama was asked what new foreign policies he could offer with a staff of so many ex-Clinton advisers.

Read the exchange from AP:

Hillary Clinton laughed out loud, and said with a smile on her face, "I'm looking forward to hearing that."

Obama, also smiling, waited for the laughter to die down before saying, "Hillary, I'm looking forward to you advising me as well."

So Shaheen resigned. No small potatoes, he was the New England co-chair.

What's the count now on Clinton campaign operatives who left after below the belt jabs at Obama?

Bill Clinton had good advisors. He just didn't listen to them. He chose to listen to republican Dick Morris instead. At one point, Peter Edelman resigned in protest, see the youtube video about fast forward to about 29:33

Hillary is not inevitable and it is a long time till this is over.

She does cackle a little.

Hardball just showed the debate question asked of Hillary about the secrecy surrounding her healtcare task force debacle.

She claims she wants to have an "open" presidency.

Does anyone really believe this coming from Hillary? Really?

A campaign manager for Mrs. Clinton sent an e-mail yesterday trying to find out about Mr. Obama’s background as a Community organizer in Chicago. The Clintons are looking to Smear and destroy Barack Obamas Reputation for Daring to compete against Hillary. this is the headline from hereidnews.com
