Durbin To Ickes: Hit Us With Your Best Shot
Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL), one of Barack Obama's top surrogates, has responded to our story that we reported yesterday — that Clinton strategist Harold Ickes has been discussing the Jeremiah Wright controversy with uncommitted super-delegates.
"Harold Ickes can try whatever he'd like to try by way of tactics to win the super-delegates," Durbin told the Huffington Post. "But I believe that most of them feel as I do, that Barack Obama has handled this is a responsible way and in a way we would like to see from the president."
Durbin also argued that Obama's big speech on race relations had enabled him to rebound from the Wright controversy: "What has happened since [Obama's] Philadelphia speech is that the ground lost initially has been regained."
