A bitter dispute has broken out between the two main candidates for the Democratic Party nomination. A prominent newspaper columnist claims Hillary Clinton supporters told him her campaign has scandalous information about principal rival, Barack Obama. U.S.: Clinton, Obama in "scandal" spat Obama has reacted with outrage, but the Clinton team say they know nothing about the reports. They say he is showing his inexperience getting so worked up about them. This is more than the normal cut and thrust of election politics. The two campaign teams, who have been at daggers drawn for some time, are now engaged in a bizarre and furious argument which could badly damage either or both of the candidates. It began with a respected right-wing columnist suggesting that Clinton staff had told him they had unspecified scandalous information about Barack Obama which they had decided not to use. Instead of ignoring the report, Obama, the young and charismatic black senator from Illinois, personally intervened to call on Clinton to make the information public immediately or concede that it did not exist. "Renounce these tactics," he demanded. The Clinton team say they know nothing about the reports and Senator Obama is showing his inexperience getting so worked up about them. Conspiracy theorists are having a field day wondering who might stand to benefit from this battle. Democratic voters begin to have their say in the Iowa caucuses now just seven weeks away.
