WASHINGTON, Dec. 20 ABC News reported that the campaign of Sen. Hillary Clinton registered two Web sites apparently to attack Democratic presidential contender Sen. Barack Obama.
The domain names "Votingpresent.com" and "Votingpresent.org" have the same IP address as official Clinton campaign Web sites and the release marks the first time this campaign season a presidential candidate launched a site with the apparent sole purpose of attacking a rival, ABC News reported Thursday.
The Clinton, D-N.Y., campaign planned to target Obama's record of voting "present" while serving as an Illinois state legislator allegedly to avoid future political controversy, the television report said. Clinton's campaign said the voting practice paints Obama, D-Ill., as a coward who avoids taking political risks, ABC News said.
The Web site "Attacktimeline.com" launched as well by the Clinton camp to provide a time line chronicling attacks against her by rivals Obama and former Sen. John Edwards, D-N.C.
