First of all, I want to say thank you for the incredible boost you've given our campaign in the days since our big win in Pennsylvania. Everyone on the campaign is talking about what you did and how much it means to Hillary. I don't think I'm overstating the case to say that without your generous support, we would not be in a position to win.

There has been a lot of talk in the media about the negative tone of this campaign, and who is responsible for it. I strongly believe that Hillary, who is out on the stump every day talking about her solutions for America, is getting a totally unfair rap on this count. I wrote an op-ed in The Washington Post this morning about the double-standard we have faced.


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?

I'd like you to read the whole article, and let me know what you think. Click here to read the op-ed and give me your feedback.

Thank you again for your incredible support,

Geoff Garin
Hillary Clinton for President
