With the March 4 elections getting closer and closer, Senator Hillary Clinton decided it was time to make her move. Sen. Clinton lashed out at her rival Senator Barack Obama over information he provided that Clinton called "blatantly false." Clinton claims that two fliers Obama's campaign mailed out to Ohio voters are incorrect and provide false information about her beliefs. The first flier pointed out that Sen. Clinton will forcibly have every citizen in the United States purchase health care, while the second called Clinton an avid endorser of the North Atlantic Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).
In response, Sen. Obama assured voters that all information in the fliers are 100% true. Obama also said, "The notion that somehow we're engaging in nefarious tactics I think is pretty hard to swallow." Obama is currently leading Clinton by 69 delegates, according to CNN estimates.
Are Sen. Clinton's new smear techniques going to sway voters in her direction? Can the hostility hurt Sen. Clinton's chances at becoming the nominee? Why or why not?

Sounds like the baseball scandal that took place with Human Growth Hormones.
I don't really understand Obama's response here. Is he saying that his flyers did not say what Clinton claims they said?
