Clinton-Obama Tussle

"Are there three people in this debate, not two?" -John Edwards

The feud between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama is getting intense...so intense that it could cost the Democrats a White House victory. Clinton has called Obama a "frustrated" former "slumlord," while Obama has criticized Clinton's "different kind of politics" and "looseness with the facts." Whose side are you on?

- Obama Looks for Gospel Lift
  
  Washington Post | Oct 29, 07 7:30 PM CDT
  
  (Newser) - Barack Obama's three-city South Carolina gospel tour kicked off over the weekend, with hopes that a little soul would lift his swooning numbers along with spirits. If the goal was, as one local supporter put it, to "get these young folks re-fired up," it wasn't happening at the first two concerts, the Washington Post reports, because the audience was largely "the retired and nearly retired."

- Romney Rules Iowa Poll; Clinton and Obama Tied
  
  Des Moines Register | Oct 29, 07 3:03 PM CDT
  
  (Newser) - Mitt Romney continues to build a massive lead in Iowa, where his only vulnerability seems to comes from the Christian conservative dash to Mike Huckabee; Romney is up 8.4% since August to a total of 36.2% in a University of Iowa poll out today, while Huckabee has spiked 11% to 12.8%, the Des Moines Register reports.

- No More Mr. Nice Barack
  
  New York Times | Oct 27, 07 5:07 PM CDT
  
  (Newser) - Obama plans to offset slipping poll numbers by getting in Hillary's face, calling her shady on foreign policy and too divisive to win in 2008, the New York Times reports. Critics say that two-fisted politics would betray Obama's "politics of hope," a charge he rejects: “Every time we point out a difference between me and her, they say, ‘What happened to the politics of hope?’ which is just silly."

- Iran Looms Large in Campaign
  
  CNN | Oct 26, 07 5:11 AM CDT
  
  (Newser) - Iran is beginning to dominate the campaign rhetoric of White house hopefuls of both parties as Iraq once did, reports CNN. Tough US sanctions against Tehran and growing indications of some kind of military intervention to halt the development of nuclear weapons are being compared with the steps taken in the run-up to the war with Iraq.

- Clinton Leads in Primary Cash
  
  Associated Press | Oct 16, 07 10:25 AM CDT
  
  (Newser) - The $35 million Hillary Clinton has on hand for her primary campaign edges out the $32 million in Barack Obama’s coffers, according to financial reports acquired by the AP. But both have almost three times the money of any other campaign—Rudy Giuliani leads Republicans with just $11.6 million, less than third-place Democrat John Edwards. More »
- Hillary Does About-Face on Iran
  
  Associated Press | Oct 12, 07 11:33 AM CDT
  
  (Newser) - Hillary Clinton told a voter in an apple orchard yesterday that she would negotiate with Iran “with no conditions”—the very statement for which she took Barack Obama to the woodshed in July, calling him "naive." The difference? Her campaign tells the AP she doesn't agree with Obama that the US "should precommit to meeting directly with Ahmadinejad.” More »
- Hillary Captures Base Critical to Primaries
  
  Los Angeles Times | Oct 8, 07 4:05 PM CDT
  
  (Newser) - While cautioning that it's still early, the LA Times reports that Hillary Clinton’s frontrunner status owes largely to her dominance among groups that are stalwarts in the Democratic nominating process. Barack Obama rules among the young and affluent, but likely primary voters are women, seniors, and blue-collar voters—all Hillary-friendly demographics. More »
- Hillary Grabs the Lead in Iowa
  
  Des Moines Register | Oct 8, 07 5:19 AM CDT
  
  (Newser) - Three months before the Iowa Caucus, Hillary Clinton has opened up a commanding lead among likely voters, a new poll by the Des Moines Register finds. The poll shows 29% preferring Clinton, 23% John Edwards, and 22% Barack Obama. In the paper's last poll in May, Edwards led with 29% to Obama's 22% and Clinton's 21%. More »
- Hillary Is Boffo in Hollywood
  
  Los Angeles Times | Oct 5, 07 6:15 AM CDT
  
  (Newser) - After an early romance with Barack Obama, entertainment industry power brokers have largely switched their affection to Hillary Clinton, the Los Angeles Times reports, finding the former first lady more charming and personable than they had expected. Director Rob Reiner, who had been skeptical that Clinton could be elected, is now hosting a combined birthday bash and fund raiser for the senator later this month. More »
- Clinton Rules Quarterly Fundraising
  
  Associated Press | Oct 2, 07 1:21 PM CDT
  
  (Newser) - Hillary Clinton isn't just dominating Barack Obama in the primary polls: Today marks the first time she can brag of better fundraising, having gathered $27 million in the third quarter compared to her chief rival’s $20 million. The summer season is typically difficult for donations, the AP reports, and yet a Clinton campaign email bragged of its best quarter yet. More »

- Obama Shifts Strategy, Takes Aim at Iowa
  
  Washington Post | Sep 30, 07 6:53 AM CDT
  
  (Newser) - Barack Obama will skip Senate voting this week to get in some quality time with voters in Iowa on a trip his camp is calling the "Judgement and Experience Tour." This surge in campaigning is likely to be the first of several as the Illinois senator tries to regain ground on Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton, reports the Washington Post. More »
- Edwards Will Accept Public Financing
  
  Politico | Sep 28, 07 10:19 AM CDT
  
  (Newser) - With the deadline to report third-quarter fundraising looming, John Edwards said yesterday his campaign will accept public financing. He calls the unexpected shift “a principled stand,” but the Politico deems it “probably also the only lifeline he has to stay in the race." The ex-senator urged Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama to join him, CNN reports. More »
- Dems Stonewall on Pullout Deadline
  
  Washington Post | Sep 27, 07 6:51 AM CDT
  
  (Newser) - None of the three leading Democratic White House contenders were willing last night to guarantee that they would get US troops out of Iraq by 2013. During a Democratic debate at Dartmouth College, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and John Edwards—who all support a timetable for troop withdrawal—each declined to commit to an exit deadline, even one five years hence, reports the Washington Post .

- Small Donors Put Dems at Top of Money Heap
  
  Politico | Sep 26, 07 2:43 PM CDT
  
  (Newser) - Small donations have a crucial role in the presidential race, and could give the eventual Democratic nominee a serious advantage, Politico reports. So-called baby bundlers—those who convince others to give, on a small scale—are leading the surge; Barack Obama's campaign, whose 75,000 new third-quarter donors match the GOP’s entire base in the year’s first half, is on the cutting edge.
