      Dems Tussle for 'Super Delegates'

      (Newser) - If Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama go neck-and-neck through February 5, "super delegates" may decide the Democratic nominee, reports the LA Times . The goal is 2,025—the number of convention delegates needed to secure the nomination—but the grail is the 796 elected officials who are free to vote their personal preference, regardless of the vote in their home state.

      Obama to SC Blacks: Have Faith

      (Newser) - Barack Obama is putting religion over race in the Palmetto State, where almost half of Democratic voters are black—a strategy that has worked for President Bush twice, Politico reports. As in Iowa, Obama has held faith forums throughout the state and even stumped in conservative, white churches. Some sneered that the strategy proves he isn't “black enough,” but recent voting stats are in his favor. More »

      (Newser) - He may have lost Iowa and New Hampshire, but don’t forget about John Edwards just yet, even if he’s not going to win the nomination, writes the Washington Post’s Dan Balz. Trumped by the celebrity and fundraising might of Clinton and Obama, Edwards will likely have to settle for a role as spoiler—but in this year's race, that's no small thing. More »

      Was Company at Fault in Teen's Death?

      (Newser) - Seventeen-year-old Nataline Sarkisyan, who died waiting for a liver transplant in December, has become the poster girl for John Edwards' call for a government-run health plan.

      Candidates Retool Themes on the Fly in NH

      (Newser) - Presidential candidates were madly shuffling their messages and tactics in New Hampshire today, applying lessons from Iowa and adjusting to NH’s sensibilities, the New York Times reports. Mitt Romney recast himself as a change candidate, while avoiding former go-to issues such as abortion and gay rights.

      What Will They Say After the Caucuses?

      (Newser) - No matter what result the Iowa caucuses bring tonight, the campaigns will have plenty of spin up their sleeves. NBC’s Chuck Todd previews the politico talk: John Edwards: No one needs this one more. A victory will be a vindication of populism and domestic issues. A loss may well be un-spinnable. Hillary Clinton: If she wins, even barely, we’re back to the inevitability storyline. A three-way tie could be OK, if managed perfectly. Third would be a “near-disaster." More »

      (Newser) - Bill Clinton yesterday gave up a precious New Year's Day on the couch watching football games to stump for his wife in Iowa, where he joked to the crowd that his football sacrifice prompted Hillary to say, "Finally, after all these years I know you do love me," AP reports.
