Sometimes they try to give it away. The entire raison d'etre of the Sun is to print crap that can then be cited by neocons as legitimate because it was printed somewhere. The Nation did a long article about it sometime in the last two years. The Sun’s circulation is almost nil. Sometimes they try to give it away.

Let's face it, he has surrounded himself with many people who aren't very progressive. Also the comments by Power gives added credence to this story, regardless of whence it came and the people you call advisors and what they think can be entirely relevant, whether or not it's a position the candidate himself has staked or worse, if he has staked an opposition position. I think unwittingly, you have stepped upon the weakness of Obama in the general election where Clinton is somewhat constrained from being too negative about things like this and it will be open season once the nominee is determined...and it will be ugly then.
