An excerpt...
"A debate moment that might have quickly come and gone has erupted into the sharpest battle of the Democratic nominating contest, with Sen. Barack Obama yesterday comparing Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's position on meeting with the leaders of hostile states to the adamant refusal of President Bush and Vice President Cheney.
"You'll have to ask Senator Clinton what differentiates her position from theirs," Obama challenged reporters on a conference call, stoking a fire ignited four days earlier when both were asked how they would approach countries such as North Korea and Iran if elected president.
Clinton waited a few hours, then shot back. "Whatever happened to the politics of hope?" she said in an interview with CNN, sarcastically referring to the Obama campaign theme.
By last night, senior aides to Clinton, who represents New York, and Obama, the junior senator from Illinois, were quarreling on television, their raised voices a measure of how competitive the 2008 presidential campaign has become with more than six months until the first votes are cast.
The tussle could be a turning point in the Democratic race, which has seen little direct engagement between the top two candidates until now, and highlights how the competition between them has been framed: Clinton's experience vs. Obama's freshness." |
