It took awhile for the Clinton Camp to get moving, but by Friday night, they were ginning up the media presses.

"I saw in the media it's being reported that my opponent said that the people of Pennsylvania who faced hard times are bitter. Well, that's not my experience," - Hillary Clinton on Friday.

On Friday night, the Obama camp was sending around emails focusing on Bill Clinton mangling the details of his wife's embarrasing Bosnia story from 1996.

Later that night, Team Obama sent out the back and forth about the issue on the afternoon news on CNN, which mainly said it wasn't an issue.

By then, the Clinton camp was piling on with a statement from campaign spokesman Phil Singer:

"It's unfortunate that Senator Obama didn't say he was sorry for what he said.  Americans are tired of a President who looks down on them," said Singer.

It really took until just after noon on Saturday for the Obama camp to get out a slashing statement, as it was obvious the story was beginning to get some traction.

"We won't be lectured on being out of touch by Senator Clinton, who believes lobbyists represent real people and is awash in their money and who can't tell a straight story," said Obama spokesman Hari Sevugan.

But by now, the Clinton people were in full swing, orchestrating a conference call with a group of Pennsylvania mayors, who were more than happy to verbally join in the fray.

"When I first heard this this morning when I got up on the internet, I couldn't believe that Senator Obama said it," said Mayor Robert Lucas of Sharon, PA.

For those not watching the Masters on Saturday evening, the story lead the news on both ABC and CBS, giving Team Clinton more of a chance to keep it bubbling through the Sunday talk shows and into this week.

On Sunday, Obama spokesman Sevugan took up the cause again:

"If there's a person "out of touch" in this election, it's Hillary Clinton, and it's with her own record," Sevugan said.

After Obama blasted Clinton directly on Sunday, Team Clinton swung into action again with another Blackberry fusillade.

"Response to Senator Obama's Outburst" was the title of the email with a statement from Clinton camp spokesman Phil Singer.

"Senator Obama's outburst won't change the fact that he has embraced his characterization of the millions of Americans who live in small towns," said Singer.

In a serious vein, the campaign surrogates are once more going to have to watch themselves this week.  The level of vitriol has increased again, and it won't surprise me if someone goes over the edge and cuts too hard.

If it's one of the candidates, then things could get really interesting.
