RNC charges Obama is a 'Dem Dodger'
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- When Sen. Barack Obama turned down the opportunity to appear at a Nevada forum for presidential candidates, he might have expected to hear some criticism from Silver State Democrats. But the Illinois Democrat is now taking flak from the Republican National Committee for skipping the forum scheduled for Carson City.
The RNC labeled Obama a "Dem Dodger," saying the Illinois Democrat's "forum flight" reinforces his "tight bubble," and raises suspicions he "doesn't have much to say." Seven Democratic presidential candidates, including front-runner Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, have told organizers they will participate in the Feb. 21 event. -- CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney
