No olive branches were extended at Myrtle Beach by the Democratic presidential hopefuls as they traded barbs in a run-up to the primaries in South Carolina Saturday.
The sharpest exchanges were between Sen. Hillary Clinton of New York and Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois, each finding a chink in the other’s political armor. Former Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina, though virtually ignored at the start, found his own telling moments of sniping.

Your two major competitors in this race have come to symbolize certain things. Sen. [John] Edwards paints himself as the candidate who is going to end poverty, and Sen. Obama says he's the candidate of change. What do you symbolize?

New York Sen. Hillary Clinton on Thursday picked up the endorsement of Attorney General Richard Blumenthal, the second statewide official to publicly back a candidate in the Feb. 5 presidential primary.
Blumenthal said Clinton's husband, former President Bill Clinton, called seeking his support, though he had been strongly leaning toward endorsing Hillary Clinton anyway. Blumenthal has known the Clintons since they attended Yale Law School more than 30 years ago.

No, not Saturday's primary _ though it's no longer outside the realm of possibility that Clinton will defeat Barack Obama here. What she has won in South Carolina is the larger campaign to polarize voters around race and marginalize Obama (in the insidious words of one of her top advisers) as "The Black Candidate.

VOA News - Women's Vote Critical to US Presidential Contest
A majority of women have chosen the winner in five of the last seven U.S. presidential elections. And since 1980, women have voted at higher rates than men in presidential contests. This year, there is a woman among the leaders vying for the Democratic Party nomination. In the first primary election, women proved to be a deciding factor, a trend analysts are watching as states vote separately in selecting the nominee. Alex Villarreal reports.

Hillary Clinton roared back into the race for the White House yesterday with a broadside against U.S. President George Bush over his "bankrupt" handling of the economy.
Two days before the South Carolina Democratic primary, the New York senator accused Mr. Bush, who introduced a $150-billion (U.S.) economic stimulus package yesterday, of failing to throw himself into the hard work of managing the economy. She argued that his decision to stay at a "comfortable cruising altitude" has allowed U.S. finances to go off the rails.

ISSUES
Strengthening the Middle Class
America's middle class is under siege and ready for change. People are working harder and longer for less and less. For six long years, America's middle class and working families have been invisible to our president. When Hillary is in the White House, no American will be invisible to the president of the United States.
Providing Affordable and Accessible Health Care
Nearly 47 million Americans -- including 9 million children -- don't have health insurance. America is ready for universal health care. Hillary has the vision and the experience to make it a reality. This is a battle Hillary has fought before -- and she has the scars to prove it. She knows better than anyone how to fight and build the political support to get the job done.
Ending the War in Iraq
America is ready for a leader who will end the war in Iraq. Hillary's roadmap out of Iraq, the Iraq Troop Protection and Reduction Act of 2007, is a plan to end the war before the next president takes the oath of office. But if the Bush administration won't end the war, as president and commander in chief, Hillary will.
Promoting Energy Independence and Fighting Global Warming
The choices we make about energy touch nearly every aspect of our lives. Our economy, our national security, our health, and the future of our planet are all at stake as we make a choice between energy independence and dependence on foreign sources of oil. Hillary has proposed an Apollo Project-like program dedicated to achieving energy independence.
Fulfilling Our Promises to Veterans
Hillary will ensure that all those who sacrifice on behalf of our country receive the help and care they need. They not only deserve our country's gratitude and support; they deserve the gold standard in health care and benefits when they return home. That is our most solemn obligation to those who have put their lives on the line for our country.
Supporting Parents and Caring for Children
America is ready for a president who fights for our children. From her first job out of law school at the Children's Defense Fund to her time as First Lady of Arkansas and of the United States to her service in the Senate, helping children has been at the center of Hillary's public life.
Restoring America's Standing in the World
The next president's most urgent task will be to restore America's standing in the world to promote our interests, ensure our security, and advance our values. America is stronger when we lead the world through alliances. As president, Hillary will lead by the words of the Declaration of Independence, which pledged "a decent respect to the opinions of mankind."
A Champion for Women
Hillary's historic statement in 1995 that "women's rights are human rights" still echoes worldwide. As a lawyer, advocate, First Lady, and senator, Hillary has fought for issues important to women here at home and around the world for decades. Hillary will continue her lifelong fight to ensure that all Americans are treated with respect and dignity.
Comprehensive Government Reform
Americans are ready for a government that puts competency ahead of cronyism. For the past six years, we've had an administration that has contempt for government. And because they view it with contempt, they treat it with contempt. We need a return to transparency and a system of checks and balances, and a 21st century government to meet our 21st century challenges.
Strengthening Our Democracy
Fair and honest elections are the bedrock of a successful democracy. Yet we have seen abuses in national elections since 2000 that have undermined our democracy and Americans' faith in our electoral system. Hillary is a leading champion of election reform. She has introduced the Count Every Vote Act to avoid repeating the problems of the past and ensure the integrity of our elections.
Reforming Our Immigration System
Our immigration system is in crisis. The laws we currently have on the books are inadequate and no longer serve our best interests. As a nation, we place a premium on compassion, respect, and policies that help families, but our immigration laws don't reflect that. Hillary has consistently called for comprehensive immigration reform that respects our immigrant heritage and honors the rule of law.
An Innovation Agenda
At a time when workers are anxious about the challenges of globalization and there is growing concern that America is losing its competitive edge, Hillary offered her views on how innovation can be the key for creating new jobs, stimulating economic growth, and ensuring American leadership of 21st century industries.
