If the Obama people ONLY gave it to reporters, then perhaps a reporter gave it to the Clinton camp. Big scandal. Not. Did only paid Obama staff handle it? There may be a scandal there if so, but it's also possible that voluteers handled it at some point, which is much harder to control.

But in any case, why DID they not want to put their own name on it? If there was nothing wrong with it they should have. Clearly they believed it would be bad to have it attributed to the campaign. They thought it crossed SOME sort of line. A bad reflection on the campaign operation that they couldn't pull it off.
I like a lot about Obama as a candidate, but he is going to have to run a top-notch campaign operation to succeed. He's not quite there yet.
