Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton's presidential campaign called on rival Barack Obama to shut down a political action committee he controls that has contributed money to elected officials in early presidential contest states.
Clinton communications director Howard Wolfson posed the demand to chief Obama strategist David Axelrod during a television interview Sunday and the campaign followed up with a press release shortly after. Wolfson accused Obama of using the PAC in "apparent contravention of campaign finance laws."
The aggressiveness of the Clinton camp is a testament to the increasingly tight race between the two in Iowa, where polls show Obama in a virtual dead heat with Clinton or with a slight lead. Polls show John Edwards also in the top mix in Iowa.
"I think that folks from some of the other campaigns are reading the polls and starting to get stressed and issuing a whole range of outlandish accusations," Obama said in a press conference Sunday in Des Moines, Iowa. "Everything that we've done is in exact accordance with the law."
At issue is Obama's Hopefund political committee, which distributed donations to congressional candidates as well as officials and local Democratic Party groups in Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina. Some of those elected officials who received contributions endorsed Obama's campaign. Others did not, with some endorsing Clinton.
Obama has made an issue during the campaign of his refusal to accept money from lobbyists or from PACs for his presidential campaign. The Hopefund, however, received more than $120,000 from PACs in 2005-2006. Hopefund raised only $2,000 from PACs early this year before it stopped fundraising.

Hillary, how about refunding $1.6 million to Peter Paul?
You are right.
After she steels the election will she come after those of us who have called her a murderer and a p.o.s. with her f.b.i. backing her?

They served that role during Bill’s two terms, and simply transfered managers when he left office to the junior Senator from New York.
