      Obama Talks Tough on Pakistan

      (Newser) - Barack Obama said in a speech today he’d be tougher than Bush on Pakistan, and that he'd like to see the US troops that ought to be withdrawn from Iraq redeployed in Afghanistan and across the border in Pakistan—with or without an invitation, the AP reports. The freshman senator said the US wimped out when it bowed to Pakistan's president Pervez Musharraf on strikes on al-Qaeda targets. More »

      Campaign Trail Awaits Chelsea Clinton&mdash;Again

      (Newser) - After nurturing a low profile for years, former First Daughter Chelsea Clinton, 27, is back in the public eye, stumping for her presidential candidate mom. During her mother's 2000 Senate campaign, she was little more than set dressing. She has reprised that role this time around but may play a more prominent part later, reports the New York Times.

      How Obama Can Trump the Experience Card

      (Newser) - The root of last week's Obama/Clinton spat, writes John Dickerson in Slate, is the Achilles heel of the Obama campaign: She trounces him in experience. Standing next to her seems to make hiim look callow, and she used the opportunity to rub it in. Only 30% of Americans think his experience qualifies him to be president, versus more than 70% for her.  More »

      Portrait of the Candidate as a College Student

      (Newser) - The first shock is to remember that college students used to actually write letters. To friends from high school, even. One of Hillary Clinton's bookish buddies from Park Ridge, Ill., then a Princeton undergrad and now a professor at Scripps College, saved her dispatches from Wellesley and shares the revelatory dispatches with the New York Times .

      Crossfire Over Hillary's Cleavage

      (Newser) - A senior adviser to Hillary Clinton released a letter yesterday condemning a Washington Post columnist for noting a cleavage-baring outfit the Senator wore in a televised speech last week.

      GOP Must Break Mold to Beat Hill

      (Newser) - Hillary is such a surprise campaign juggernaut that her Republican rivals don't stand a chance, says New York Times’ resident conservative David Brooks, unless they muster weapons nobody's seen yet. The senator’s display of experience and confidence has been extraordinary, he writes, and her falling negatives bode well for converting undecideds. More »

      (Newser) - Hillary shouldn't have been called a traitor, Robert Gates wrote yesterday in a letter apologizing for a deputy's refusal to share Iraq withdrawal plans with members of the Senate Armed Services Committee. The deputy had charged that the divulging the information could “reinforce enemy propaganda.” More »

      (Newser) - The gloves came off in the Democratic presidential race yesterday as Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama tangled over an issue that arose in Monday's debate. The frontrunners released statements that revealed tensions in the more or less united effort to reclaim the White House, Reuters reports, with Clinton's camp emphasizing her experience and Obama's accusing his fellow senator of flip-flopping.

      Hillary Preps for Trail Trouble From Brothers

      (Newser) - Hillary Clinton’s kid brother, long considered a campaign liability, is in fresh trouble: Bankrupt carnival owners who received 2000 presidential pardons are suing Tony Rodham for the repayment of loans made to him around the time of his brother-in-law's clemency.

      Still Divisive, Hillary Makes Headway

      (Newser) - Women overall now see Hillary Clinton as a strong leader and positive role model, according to a new Times poll. Yet older, married women harbor doubts. And neither men nor women completely trust that she is saying what she believes, the poll found. Still, a majority thought she'd be elected if she won the Democratic nomination. More »

      The Senator Wears Prada (Maybe)

      (Newser) - Hillary Clinton was discussing the high cost of college, but some eyes were trained on the low cut of her neckline. Under the senator’s pink blazer sat a black top that revealed a modicum of cleavage and caught the eye of Washington Post fashion editor Robin Givhan, who finds even the subtle expression of sexuality and femininity “startling.” More »

      Olbermann to Prez: Stop Scapegoating, Start Fighting

      (Newser) - A war of words over the Iraq war that erupted this week nominally involves only a Pentagon underling and Hillary Clinton, but MSNBC's Keith Olbermann finds a message for President Bush in the back-and-forth. Accusing the administration of scapegoating both the senator and antiwar citizens, he calls for Bush to "go to Baghdad now" and fight the war himself. More »

      GOP Voters Undecided, Unhappy

      (Newser) - Rudy Giuliani has the support of 21% of Republicans in a new poll—down from 27% in June, which is bad enough, and second to the most popular option: none of the above. John McCain stands fourth, a notch below undeclared candidate Fred Thompson, in the most recent AP-Ipsos poll, out today, and Hillary Clinton continues to dominate the Democrats. More »

      Barack, Hillary Swap Gender Roles for '08

      (Newser) - In the Democrats' dramatic race to the White House, Michael Scherer writes in Salon, “the leading man is a woman and the leading woman is a man." While Barack Obama soothes audiences with his nurturing baritone, Hillary Clinton attempts to parry the disadvantages of a female candidacy with broad-shouldered tough talk, borrowing military metaphors for her campaign and even waxing Reaganesque.

      (Newser) - With Barack Obama determined not to be a Jesse or an Al, Hillary Clinton has emerged as the candidate most comfortable targeting the concerns of the black community,  a Washington Post op-ed argues. Last week’s debate at the Howard University showcased Hillary in the role “forefeited” by Barack Obama, says Amina Luqman. More »

      (Newser) - Presidential hopeful Barack Obama took a swipe yesterday at his main Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton, saying  "change can't just be a slogan" --a reference to the slogan she introduced just a few days ago, "Ready for Change, Ready to Lead."  In fact, her approach is more like “change – but not too much change,” says the Washington Post.

      (Newser) - Bill Clinton is trying out the role of doting husband on a campaign swing through Iowa this week. Their first joint appearances  seem aimed to boost Hillary's likability and cut that 50% disapproval rating. Bill offers a warm introduction, affectionate hugs, and the claim that his wife is better qualified to be president than he was when he first ran for the job. More »
