      With End Near, Clinton Plays It Smart, Safe

      (Newser) - In what looks increasingly like the twilight of her campaign, Hillary Clinton is stumping as though Barack Obama doesn’t even exist, writes Walter Shapiro of Slate. She’s campaigning as a smart policy nut, moving one supporter to say, "I will always feel safe with this woman as president." One problem: This year, voters aren’t interested in “safe.” More »

      Obama Calls on Both Camps to Simmer Down

Another poll from the University of Cincinnati gives Clinton an even narrower advantage of 8 points—47% to 39%—ahead of tonight's debate in Cleveland. More »

      Wounded Hillary Marches On

      (Newser) - With Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign on the ropes, morale is low and advisers are screaming at each other in back rooms, the New York Times reports. While the candidate appears resolute, she no longer expresses the supreme confidence she once did and has stopped prefacing sentences with "when I'm president." Some advisers regret using Bill Clinton so much and concede Hillary's race may end after the Texas and Ohio Democratic primaries. More »

      Dems Take Aim at Big Business

      (Newser) - Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, heading into primaries in states struggling with joblessness and the mortgage crisis, are sharpening their attacks on big business, the Wall Street Journal reports. Both are lambasting oil companies, corporate tax cuts, and health insurers. Tuesday’s Wisconsin primary will be a test of which candidate has gained the populist high ground once held by John Edwards. A bigger test comes March 4 in Ohio. More »
