Hillary Clinton: "I'm In"

Hillary Clinton has announced today on her website that she is running (actually forming an exploratory committee). And already the Clinton dirty tricks squad is hard at work smearing Obama:

The story on the Web site of the conservative magazine Insight alleged that Democrats "connected" to Hillary Rodham Clinton had discovered that Obama had studied at a madrassa - a Muslim religious school - for four years while living in Indonesia with his mom.

The Clinton gang obviously denied the allegations:

The Insight piece claimed the "research" about Obama was done by people "connected" to Clinton's camp, but Axelrod said he didn't "believe that for a second."

Clinton's aides blasted the story as an attempt to tar both her and Obama. "We have no connection to this story," said spokesman Howard Wolfson, noting the magazine is owned by the Rev. Sun Myung Moon-founded Unification Church.

"It is an obvious right-wing hit job by a Moonie publication and an attack on both Sen. Clinton and Sen. Obama."
