More from Clinton Camp Saturday Conference Call

Clinton's Mark Penn, Phil Singer hold Saturday afternoon conference call on the state of the race:

On Rezko: Penn called latest developments part of a "troubling pattern" coming from Obama camp, criticizing him for not meaning what he says and pointing to NAFTA, former adviser Power's Iraq statements in addition to learning about more Rezko fundraising. Said "we tend to learn more in dribs and drabs" rather than having him be transparent like he says he has been. Called for full disclosure of documents regarding his real estate transaction involving Rezko, questioned his judgment, accused him of waging a campaign full of personal attacks against Clinton. "We have what we see as a troubling pattern here that is rippling through all elements of his campaign."

Singer said they have been seeing a pattern where "words often seem to change." Said "intrepid few" reporters who have asked him about Rezko have gotten an answer that downplays his relationship with him. "The revelation in today's newspapers is that Senator Obama has not always been so straightforward as he would like the public to think he has been in regards to Tony Rezko."

On question of why her winning big primary states speaks to her general election strength: Penn said that those wins are important in the general election because of the kind of voters she attracted there -- including women, Latinos, working class Democrats who "have sometimes been attracted to Republican side." Pointed to 2004 Kerry loss, saying Bush got a lot of those critical swing voters. Said because she has a stronger coalition of those voters in big states, she's better prepared to take on McCain in November instead of Obama. Pointed to McCain's strength on immigration reform, saying that's an issue where Obama has distanced himself. Said he's won many caucuses in Republican-leaning states where many of those voters are "unlikely to make a difference in the general election."

On Florida, Michigan re-voting: Singer said they believe in the "1 person, 1 vote" philosophy. Said there's an obligation the Obama, Clinton campaigns and the DNC to make sure the votes that have been cast are counted. Said if that's not possible, there should be new primaries that don't have the taxpayers footing the bill. Said there are a number of proposals being floated and they are evaluating them. Accused Obama campaign of being "reluctant" on settling the issue. Also added "We are not going to negotiate this in the press as the Obama campaign insists on doing."

Singer also responded to a reporter's question about campaign involvement in Florida DNC donors asking for their money back from the party unless their votes are counted. "We are not asking for anyone to give back any money and that is not what the New York Times reported as you alluded to earlier."

On Rev. Wright flap: Penn said "That's really for Sen. Obama to address." When asked if they were satisfied with Sen. Obama's repudiation, Singer said "Senator Obama addressed a number of issues last night and we just want to leave it there...voters are going to look at what he had to say and we'll take it from there."

On Clinton's White House documents, tax returns: Penn said that tax returns are forthcoming and archives are going through it's release process. Pointed out that them calling for Rezko records is different because they are asking for information on a specific transaction. "We're not calling for everything he's ever said." But also added "her life has been very much an open book...he has said his state senate records are lost or nonexistent."

Singer, confirmed that "on or around April 15" means the tax returns will be released before the Pennsylvania primary when asked to clarify. "I have no doubt that the research departments...will have ample time to sort through them and report on them." Added that Obama has one year of tax returns available compared to Clinton's 20. "I do wonder if he'll be releasing his information as well."

On close contest dividing the Democratic Party, superdelegates potentially deciding the nominee: Penn emphasized the role of superdelegates and the reason they were set up. Said Clinton is running dead even in national polls and it is "essentially a dead even race in terms of delegates." Said popular vote is a very strong factor, but thinks it will be up to the superdelegates to make their "best judgment" at the convention. Said whoever is the nominee, of course the other would rally around and support.
