The Clinton campaign has asked a volunteer county chairwoman in Iowa to step down after she was caught forwarding an e-mail chain suggesting that Barack Obama is a Muslim. That’s all well and good, but what has happened to the paid campaign staffer who distributed an e-mail Tuesday accusing the Obama campaign of engaging in push polling and directing Clinton supporters to incorrect caucus locations? We’re still waiting for the Clinton campaign to say whether it has any support for that charge, which the Obama campaign has denied.
