Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said the U.S. economy has replaced Iraq as the nation's top concern and the government must take quick action to avoid a lengthy recession.
"We don't have time to wait," the New York senator said in an interview with Bloomberg Television from Las Vegas, where she is campaigning before the state's party caucuses in three days.

Clinton Shines In Vegas
After a slow start bogged down by a show of unity that bordered on blather, the Democratic debate in Las Vegas managed to reveal important character traits. We learned that Sen. Hillary Clinton (D., NY) wants to be the hands-on CEO, Sen. Barack Obama (D., Ill.) prefers being an inspirational leader, and John Edwards likes the role of the fierce fighter.
When the debate turned to policy, the three Democrats agreed on most issues. But deciding who won the debate came down to critical differences to answers on three big issues: the economy, energy policy and foreign policy. On these issues Clinton asserted her knowledge on policy issues and dominated Edwards and Obama.

The issues that dominated the debate were the Iraq war, those involving minorities and the nation’s sluggish economy, which recent polls have shown Democratic voters care most about.
