65. Washington Post - Daily Sentinel - NYT - according to you, this is the Obama Slime Machine
Got any evidence to suggest the Obama campaign pushed this story into the headlines?

If you do a search on the woman's name plus 'Obama', all you get is multiple reprints of this blog posting on talkleft.com: http://www.talkleft.com/story/2008/4/5/133021/9712 which complains 'Clinton derangement syndrome' on 'an Obama blog' - daily Kos, where the article simply includes a link to the NYT story.

So now linking to an NYT story constitutes an attack on Hillary Clinton. Of course, if you look at the comments on the talkleft.com link above, apparently the mere existence of Barack Obama is an attack on Hillary Clinton.

Furthermore, the woman's name was NOT released by the hospital. It was mentioned by the Daily Sentinel newspaper in Ohio: http://mydailysentinel.com/articles/2008/04/04/news/news00.txt because her death made the local news at the time.

Looks a lot more like the Clinton damage control machine in action - blame Obama and blame the hospital for a story that the newspapers put together themselves in the course of normal journalism.
