 Obama giving Clinton a race in her backyardCategory: Politics - Posted by: KingM on Jan 12th, 2008With Senator Barack Obama vowing to challenge Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton on her home turf, the Democratic presidential primary in New York on Feb. 5 is shaping up as the state’s most competitive since 1992, when Bill Clinton took up a rival’s... mantra of change to all but cinch the nomination. Mrs. Clinton was re-elected a little more than a year ago by better than two to one. Before the Iowa caucuses, she had so dominated opinion polls and endorsements by elected officials and powerful unions that many considered her home state impregnable to political interlopers. But if Mr. Obama wins the South Carolina primary in two weeks, he could develop enough grass-roots support among young people, liberals and black voters in New York to pose a serious threat to her claim to the state’s rich delegate lode, allies of both candidates say. |

 Iowa winners seek repeat in New HampshireCategory: Politics - Posted by: KingM on Jan 5th, 2008Iowa caucus victories behind them, Republican Mike Huckabee and Democrat Barack Obama vowed to stick with their winning principles Friday in an abbreviated dash to the finish in New Hampshire's presidential primary campaign, facing a different politi...cal alignment and, as Huckabee put it, "only a few days to close the sale." Mitt Romney and Sen. John McCain, GOP poll le-aders in New Hampshire, stood ready to try to douse Huckabee's "prairie fire" in a state that lacks the religious voting bloc of Iowa and has an ornery tradition of rejecting Iowa's Republican caucus winners. "It will be a different race here," Romney said Friday. He attributed Huckabee's Iowa win largely to his background as a Southern Baptist preacher. |
