      What's Bill Doing in This Picture?

      (Newser) - Once, Hillary Clinton wanted to keep Bill and his baggage tucked safely in the backseat. Now, as panic takes hold in Iowa, she's set him loose, the latest swerve in a "herky-jerky" campaign that has hopped from strategy to strategy, writes the Politico’s Elizabeth Drew in an analysis of the campaign that once looked "inevitable."

To exploit the edge, Clinton is softening her career-woman persona, with motherhood stories and a woman-targeted “Dishes are Done” phone campaign. More »

      She's Tough, Focused, Blunt and Efficient

      (Newser) - “The worst thing you can do when you work for Hillary Clinton is sit there and nod yes," one veteran of the other Clinton administration told the New York Times.

In an analysis of the Democratic contender's leadership style, the Times notes that Hillary is “organized,” “methodical” and “disciplined"—characteristics rarely attributed to her significant other.

      Clinton, Pelosi May Divide Dems

      (Newser) - They may have a lot in common on the surface, but Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi differ vastly when it comes to foreign policy, Politico says. With votes to authorize the Iraq war and designate Iran’s Revolutionary Guard as terrorists, Clinton is an honest-to-goodness, unapologetic hawk, while Pelosi is devoutly dovish. If Hillary wins Democratic nomination, those differences will bubble up. More »
