Democratic double standard?

Hillary Clinton strategist Geoff Garin:

On the one hand, it's perfectly decent for Obama to argue that only he has the virtue to bring change to Washington and that Clinton lacks the character and the commitment to do so. On the other hand, we are somehow hitting below the belt when we say that Clinton is the candidate best able to withstand the pressures of the presidency and do what's right for the American people, while leaving the decisions about Obama's preparedness to the voters.
Who made up those rules? And who would ever think they are fair?

Team Obama has repeatedly claimed that Clinton is "Swiftboating" Obama. "Swiftboating," of course, is the sin of telling the truth about a Democrat. Unlike John McCain, the Clintons aren't afraid to hit hard in the full-contact sport of politics.
