Hillary Accuses Obama of Bed-Wetting
Creators Syndicate - The increasingly contentious race for the Democratic presidential nomination got a little bit nastier today as Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) charged that her chief rival, Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.), wet his bed when he was a toddler.
Iowans have grown used to displays of testiness on the part of the leading Democratic contenders in recent weeks, but few were prepared for Sen. Clinton's accusation that her surging opponent had been a bed-wetter.
Moments after her campaign released this latest bombshell, Sen. Clinton went to great lengths to show that the bed-wetting incident, while occurring when the Illinois senator was only 3 years old, was "relevant" to the current presidential campaign.
At a campaign stop in Cedar Rapids, Sen. Clinton said that the alleged bed-wetting incident "should not disqualify" Sen. Obama from the White House but should make Democrats "think long and hard" about voting for him in next month's caucuses.
"Personally, I don't have anything against having a bed-wetter in the Oval Office," Sen. Clinton said. "But you can be sure that the Republican right-wing attack machine will have a field day with this kind of thing."
At a campaign appearance in Davenport, Sen. Obama brushed off his alleged bed-wetting as an "isolated incident," and added an apparent jab at Sen. Clinton: "I'm not the one who's so scared about this race that I'm peeing myself now."
In response to Sen. Obama's remark, Sen. Clinton later released a statement referring to herself as "rubber" and Sen. Obama as "glue."
Elsewhere, the state of New Jersey banned capital punishment, arguing that living in New Jersey was bad enough.

Hmmm. Suppose one of the candidates decided to step forward and declare he/she is incontinent Would that be a good or bad move ? I can see sympathy from all those old voters, and no prying into more damaging things as advantages...

Indeed, because only an idiot would believe that politicians are petty populists who'll do anything for some attention. The rest of us know better!
