"Readiness to lead sets her apart from a constellation of possible stars in her party, particularly Barack Obama, who also demonstrates the potential to be a fine president," the newspaper’s endorsement editorial concludes. "When Obama speaks before a crowd, he can be more inspirational than Clinton. Yet, with his relative inexperience, it's hard to feel as confident he could accomplish the daunting agenda that lies ahead."

Standing atop a stage in a livestock auction barn, Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton likened the experience to her quest to woo undecided voters in the closing days before Iowa's pivotal caucuses.

"I've been to cattle barns before and sales before, in Arkansas, but I've never felt like I was the one that was being bid on," Clinton told a crowd in western Iowa. "I know you're going to inspect me. You can look inside my mouth if you want. I hope by the end of my time with you I can make the case for my candidacy and to ask you to consider caucusing for me."

With just 18 days to go until the Iowa caucuses, Hillary Clinton’s campaign is stressing that “every pocket of Iowa” is crucial in helping secure her nomination.

Clinton won’t go door-to-door in Iowa like she did in New Hampshire Saturday, at least not on this week’s Iowa blitz, her staff said today.

Despite all the hoopla and negative campaigning and Oprah, the Democratic race in Iowa remains pretty much the same as its been for the past month—way too close to call. In three straight Rasmussen Reports polls conducted over the past month, each of the leading candidates has seen their level of support stay in a very narrow range—three percentage points or less. Given that the poll has a three-percentage point margin of sampling error, the results are remarkably stable.

Hillary Clinton’s campaign is starting a file of “dirty campaign tricks” after a handful of supporters reported that negative information about the Democratic presidential candidate is being peddled by telephone.

Two Iowans reported so-called push polls, where the unidentified callers pretended to be opinion pollsters but instead did little more than bash Clinton. Two other Iowans reported feeling badgered by callers who said they were from the Obama campaign.
