Which one is vetted?
I've noticed a number of posters worried that if Obama got the nomination 'something' would come out of the woodwork and sink his campaign.
Sure, it could happen. There's no doubt the smear machine will make crap up no matter who wins but the idea that Hillary Clinton has already been completely vetted is a fantasy.
Yes the stories of Whitewater and Lewinsky are common knowledge and yes, Bill's international 'deals' get in the news - I think those are already factored in to people decision.

But what percentage of the public knows about "The Brother's Rodham"?

One brother owes over a hundred thousand in child support, the other involved in the Clinton White house Pardon story.
Is it relevant to her positions or policies? Hell, no but neither was that stain. No, neither is running for President but do you think this stuff will be ignored if she gets the nomination?
Clinton does not deserve the crap and hatred she gets from the right and the media but the fact is it's there.
Obama may be their next target but so far even with the utter BS they've thrown at him he is gaining support.
