Clinton Dems: Will Obama Fight For Them? Part 2

On Wednesday, Roger Simon of Politico:

I wrote in response "So it turns out the Obama campaign has some not too smart people on his campaign too. Expect a swift rebuke from Axelrod over this."

More . . .

Today's reporting:

In conversations with Mr. Obama and his aides, “I’ve tried to make sure that everyone understood that these women have a right to feel frustrated and angry,” said Senator Claire McCaskill of Missouri, an important ally who is one of his leading emissaries to women. “To try to make that less than real is a huge mistake.”

(Emphasis supplied.) Hmmm. You think maybe Axelrod gave some folks a rebuke? Or did he get the rebuke?
