This is a distinction that the Republicans, including Karl Rove, don't understand. They politicize everything. It's politics over the people rather than politics for the people. And at least there were real reporters at Hillary's event. Now that said, I agree that if the accusations about Hillary are true, they are disappointing. I much prefer Obama, who is more principled and has a fresh approach.
