So it takes the BBC to say what needs to be said about Rezko and going negative.
See below the fold.
Here's a quote from a BBC article on the 'Monster' comment by Power. The emphasis is mine.
There are plenty of signs that both camps are going to give in to the temptation to "go negative" - you get a sense of that more from what the aides around the candidates are saying than from the candidates themselves.
The Clinton camp says it wants to know more about Mr Obama's links with a Chicago political fixer who is currently being tried on corruption charges - the charges do not relate to Mr Obama in any way, it must be said.
So there it is.
Of course, look for the Clinton campaign to run a Rezko ad 3-4 days before the PA primary.
And look for the corporate media to discuss the buzz around the ad, and campaign media shop responses from both sides, rather than do some investigative journalism and point out the obvious, simple truth.
