Today I am writing my blog on another blog. The CNN Political Ticker has an interesting story pitting frontrunner Hillary Clinton against her Democratic rival Barack Obama.
The entry basically cites jabs that each candidate has made at the other. Kinda a he said, she said thing just to add a little heat to a battle that is getting just a tad to old (considering they started 2 years before the actual election). Here's what it boils down to:
She said: Obama doesn't have the political experience necessary to run the country.
He said (the focus of the article: Clinton is just an extension from her husband's presidency and are using their longevity to tey and get elected.
Obama also took the time to remind the public that 5 years ago this week he voted against the invasion of Iraq, and is basically using every opportunity he can to get this point across. What's more is that Hillary voted FOR the invasion, so it's just another ace to put up Obama's sleeve.
What this artice boils down to is that Barack Obama seems to be using all of the tools he has to gain a noticable competative edge on Hillary Clinton. Although she is still the frontrunner of the party, his "experienced inexperience" may be enough to give the New York senator a run for her money in New Hampshire.
