The delegate tallying in Texas from Tuesday isn’t even finished and already the Clinton and Obama campaigns have resumed nasty campaigning on a line that will guarantee even more nasty campaigning in coming days and weeks.
I’m with John Aravosis - Clinton was right in 2000 when she criticized Rick Lazio for not releasing his tax […]
