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.

- Stars Shine on Presidential Candidates
  
  CNN | Jul 17, 07 10:19 AM CDT
  
  (Newser) - This just in: Hollywood loves Democrats, a "Baywatch" babe likes Dennis Kucinich, and Paulie Walnuts is with Rudy Giuliani. CNN scrutinized FEC records with some degree of thoroughness—the results are improbably light on Republicans—to generate a list of celebrity donations to the presidential candidates, and the results hold a few surprises.

Obama has about $34 million in primary cash on hand, Clinton has $33 million and John Edwards is a distant third with $12 million. More »
- Kucinich Says Edwards Lacks Integrity
  
  Associated Press | Jul 14, 07 2:42 PM CDT
  
  (Newser) - Dennis Kucinich took off the gloves yesterday, accusing Democratic rival John Edwards of showing “a consistent lack of integrity” after Edwards suggested—privately, he thought—to Hillary Clinton that they cut down the field for future candidate forums to a smaller and “more serious” group. The sotto voce exchange was captured in an open mike after an NAACP forum Thursday. More »

- Barack, Hillary Swap Gender Roles for '08
  
  Salon | Jul 12, 07 9:08 AM CDT
  
  (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.

- Hillary Can Be Blacker Than Barack
  
  Washington Post | Jul 6, 07 9:57 AM CDT
  
  (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 »

  Washington Post | Jul 5, 07 1:04 PM CDT
  
  (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. More »
- Bill Stumps With Hillary in Iowa
  
  Los Angeles Times | Jul 3, 07 2:00 PM CDT
  
  (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 »

  Washington Post | Jul 2, 07 3:47 AM CDT
  
  (Newser) - Barack Obama raised $32.5 million in total campaign contributions in the second quarter of 2007, handily beating Hillary Clinton's powerhouse fundraising machine to lead the Democratic pack, the Washington Post reports.

The New Mexico governor, who has benefited from clever advertising, has also gained in polls in early states Iowa and New Hampshire. More »
- Hillary Hunts for the Human Touch
  
  Slate | Jun 28, 07 3:34 PM CDT
  
  (Newser) - Hillary Clinton has experience and leadership to spare, but she’s battling innate appearances just to be liked, Slate’s John Dickerson says. No one thinks Clinton's a shrinking violet—pollees call her tougher than former POW John McCain—but she struggles on the "softer" qualities, like, say, appearing human. More »
- Young Americans Swing Left, Favor Dems
  
  New York Times | Jun 27, 07 5:10 AM CDT
  
  (Newser) - Young Americans are skewing left, with fewer identifying themselves as Republicans and more siding with Democrats on hot-button issues, according to a New York Times /CBS/MTV poll. Those surveyed, aged 17 to 29, are more likely than the general public to favor universal health care, gay marriage and open-door immigration. More »
- '08 May Be 3-Way Subway Series
  
  Politico | Jun 22, 07 7:14 AM CDT
  
  (Newser) - It's the political equivalent of a subway series—the remote but real possibility of a presidential election that pits Hillary Clinton against Rudy Giuliani against Mike Bloomberg. The Politico reports that New York State's power brokers are salivating over the prospect as much as the city's media outlets. "I love it," says ex-GOP senator Al D'Amato. "It's great theater."

  (Newser) - A new Hillary 2008 viral ad is exploring the senator's Family ties. The Clinton campaign posted an already-ubiquitous video yesterday, starring Bill and Hillary and parodying the final scene of the Sopranos—down to the diner, the suspicious goon, and the sudden blackout. Hil seems determined lately to prove she can laugh at herself, WaPo reports. More »
