      'Candidates' Spar Over SC Credentials

      (Newser) - With Stephen Colbert kicking off his presidential campaign spoof in South Carolina yesterday, things got a little heated between the Comedy Central star and John Edwards, the state's other favorite-son contender.

      Hillary Faces Gender Hurdle in Iowa

      (Newser) - Gender bias may topple Hillary's Iowa bid and hurt her image as shoo-in for the Dem nomination, the Christian Science Monitor reports. She calls the state a "special burden" and was "shocked" to hear Iowans had never elected a woman governor; analysts say she's downplaying her hopes in the state, where she holds a slim six-point lead over Edwards.

      Iran Looms Large in Campaign

      (Newser) - Iran is beginning to dominate the campaign rhetoric of White house hopefuls of both parties as Iraq once did, reports CNN.

      Button Down Meets Blue Collar in Iowa

      (Newser) - Advantage, Obama: He's already winning blue collar hearts in Iowa before Hillary shows up for her caucus drive. He can also talk agriculture and education with ease because Iowa's troubles resemble Illinois'. And vets he meets there resemble his grandad, a WWII soldier from Kansas. Yet the big city lawmaker still needs reminders of Iowa life: "Hogs matter to Iowans!" is scrawled across an article in his office. More »

      Poll Backs Hill-Bill White House

      (Newser) - Former president Bill Clinton is a clear asset in his wife's bid for the White House, the Washington Post reports, with 60% of Americans polled last week saying they would welcome him as first spouse, and two-thirds giving his presidency the thumbs-up. But they don't see Hillary Clinton as a continuation of Bill: two-thirds said they thought she'd take the country in a different direction than her husband did. More »
