The The Clinton campaign is raising the issue of Barack Obama's incomplete health care plan and misleading statements about what it does and does not do. Clinton camp internet director Peter Daou published this at HuffPo calling on Obama campaign chair David Axelrod to correct the record. At the DNC fall meeting here in Leesburg, Virginia, Axelrod was asked about the flap, and he was dismissive, even a bit cheered by it. "Our plan has been out there for months, and now [the Clinton people] are coming out with this?...That tells me they are either slow on the uptake or [campaign] circumstances have changed. And I don't think they're slow on the uptake." Translation: The Obama campaign now feels comfortable enough to commence a "Hillary is grasping" meme. In fact, Axelrod went on to compare the Clinton campaign to a plane that has hit turbulence and the folks piloting it as scrambling around to regain control. Suffice to say, with a month to go, things are heating up. Correction: I meant David Axelrod not Plouffe. I've corrected the post above. --Tom Schaller
