Clinton 2008

Though she led in the popular vote (so she claims), the champagne wishes and Presidential dreams are over for Hillary.

Love her or hate her (and many people fall into one or the other of these camps), Hillary Clinton ran neck and neck with Obama for the Democratic nomination. Her husband, who helped her top the fundraising charts for the first quarter (but not by nearly as big a margin as expected), was both one of her biggest assets and her biggest liabilities. She's won kudos in the Senate for hard work and bipartisan effectiveness, but in the end the numbers just weren't on her side.

- Hillary Vulnerable in National Poll
  
  Wall Street Journal | Nov 8, 07 11:39 AM CST
  
  (Newser) - Americans want a Democratic president, a new Wall Street Journal / NBC News poll shows—but they're not as sure they want it to be Hillary Clinton. Though respondents favored a Democrat to replace President Bush, 50% to 35%, Clinton runs in a dead heat with Republican frontrunner Rudy Giuliani. “I just don't totally trust her,” said one 1990s supporter of Bill Clinton.

- Better 1st Kid: Chelsea or Jenna?
  
  New Republic | Nov 7, 07 3:03 PM CST
  
  (Newser) - Conventional wisdom that puts Chelsea Clinton at the front of the class and Jenna Bush at the back is undergoing a makeover, as the current first daughter charms in public life while her predecessor hits the upper-crust party scene. The “closer I look, the more I like Jenna,” writes the New Republic ’s T.A. Frank, and “the less I like Chelsea.” More »
- Dems Run Risk With Costly Green Reforms
  
  Washington Post | Nov 6, 07 6:20 PM CST
  
  (Newser) - The leading Democratic candidates are committed to far-reaching environmental pledges, surely fueling future GOP attacks—and potentially turning next November in either party’s favor. Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and John Edwards have all signed on to 80% cuts in greenhouse gases by mid-century, the Post reports, which could mean Americans pay 30% more for gas and electricity by 2015.

  (Newser) - Fed up with waiting, a conservative public interest group is suing the National Archives to obtain White House records on Hillary Clinton when she led a health-care task force as first lady.

- On the Trail, Simmering Gender War Heats Up
  
  New York Times | Nov 5, 07 12:46 PM CST
  
  (Newser) - That Hillary Clinton is breaking the gender barrier in the presidential primaries is not news, but fallout from last week’s Democratic debate is bringing to a head questions of how to campaign as a woman and how to campaign against one. Supporters saw discrimination even as critics accused Clinton of shielding herself with gender, the Times reports. More »
- Obama Plays Himself on SNL
  
  Chicago Tribune | Nov 4, 07 9:47 AM CST
  
  (Newser) - Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama turned up the heat on frontrunner Hillary Clinton last night on "Saturday Night Live" when he appeared in the opening sketch—a Halloween party thrown by a faux Bill and Hillary and attended by faux Democratic candidates—as himself. Everyone was in costume, including Barack, who wore an Obama mask, then ripped it off to reveal the real thing. More »
- Obama Vows New Ties With Iran
  
  New York Times | Nov 2, 07 2:10 PM CDT
  
  (Newser) - Barack Obama says he would take a much different approach to Iran than the Bush administration, pushing high-level talks and economic incentives in exchange for cooperation on Iraq and nuclear issues. In an interview with the Times, the candidate said Iran's obstinance on those issues is caused in part by Washington's aggressive policies and rhetoric. More »
- 'Smash Highest Glass Ceiling,' Hillary Urges
  
  Reuters | Nov 2, 07 3:36 AM CDT
  
  (Newser) - Hillary Clinton may have taken a beating in the candidate debates this week, but the Wellesley College alum was hailed as a rock star when she returned to the all-women's campus to urge students to "shatter that highest glass ceiling." As students roared in approval, Clinton proclaimed: "We can make history." More »
- Half of GOP Evangelicals Might Ditch Giuliani: Poll
  
  Associated Press | Nov 1, 07 4:39 PM CDT
  
  (Newser) - 55% of white evangelical Republicans would consider a third-party candidate if the 2008 presidential race comes down to Rudy Giuliani vs. Hillary Clinton, according to a new survey. The GOP frontrunner's views on abortion, gay rights and gun control are too liberal for the tastes of many conservative Christians; evangelicals make up about 34% of Republican and Republican-leaning voters.

- Hillary Backs Licenses for Immigrants
  
  New York Times | Oct 31, 07 10:16 PM CDT
  
  (Newser) - Hillary Clinton came out in support of drivers licenses for illegal immigrants today, in an effort to separate herself not so much from her competitors but her own flubbed answer to a question about them at Tuesday night's candidate forum. At the forum she drew gleeful opprobrium from the other candidates for flip-flopping; first she was for then against the hot-button proposal from beleaguered New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer. More »
- Dem Hopefuls Pile On Clinton
  
  New York Times | Oct 31, 07 4:46 AM CDT
  
  (Newser) - The knives were out for Hillary Clinton in the seventh and most confrontational of the Democratic presidential debates last night. John Edwards and Barack Obama led the attack on the frontrunner, criticizing her positions on Iran and illegal immigrants, and questioning her credibility and electability, the New York Times reports.

- 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."
