- Clinton Still Leads in the Big States
  
  Wall Street Journal | Jan 28, 08 1:34 PM CST
  
  (Newser) - Barack Obama's landslide win in South Carolina gave the Illinois senator a hefty boost in the lead-up to Super Tuesday, but the big states are voting on Feb. 5, and Clinton holds the lead in most of them. The sheer diversity will prevent candidates from doing the whistle-stop campaigning that's gone into the races so far, and the demographic seem to play to her strengths, with large numbers of Latinos and white women. But many Democratic voters remain undecided, polls are often inaccurate, and Obama has the Kennedys on his side. More »

  Washington Post | Jan 25, 08 7:08 PM CST
  
  (Newser) - A Hillary Clinton presidency is the only thing that makes fractious Republicans “forget their differences and join hands in common purpose,” ex-Bush speechwriter Michael Gerson writes in the Washington Post . It’s not her policies but the specter of a partisan past that means the senator is “the closest there is to an incumbent” in 2008—and thus the object of GOP hatred. More »
