Harvard professor Samantha Power has resigned as an adviser to the Obama campaign after describing Hillary Clinton as a "monster". This situation mirrors the similar move back in December by Bill Shaheen, former governor of New Hampshire and a co-chair of Clinton's efforts in the state. Shaheen withdrew from his campaign post after making statements about Obama's past drug use that were deemed similarly inappropriate.
It is true, of course, that with the Shaheen comments, certain Clinton advisers still tried to sleazily play up the drug issue even after the fact-and they got to keep their jobs. Let's see if Obama's people have more class.
