Dirt begins to fly at Barack Obama
Times Online - UK
WHEN Hillary Clinton warned that Barack Obama had not been thoroughly “vetted”, as she has been, she was hinting darkly at trouble to come over her rival’s radical pastor and shady patron in Chicago, the Illinois senator’s home town.

Obama Air Ads on Health Care, Energy                                                                                                                                               The Associated Press -
AIRING: Arizona SCRIPT: Barack Obama: "My mother died of cancer at 53. In those last painful months, she was more worried about paying her medical bills than getting well. I hear stories like hers everyday. For 20 years Washington has talked about health care reform and reformed nothing. I’ve got a plan to cut costs and cover everyone. But unless we stop the bickering and the lobbyists we will be in the same place 20 years from now."

By Joshua Stein
For just losing the incredibly important New Hampshire primary, Barack Obama is looking good. [NB Like, really good. Like he is soooooooooo cute :P] Why is this?

Toronto Star,  Canada - 
Barack Obama coined it and he owns it. But everyone wants a part of it. The "change" bandwagon in the 2008 U.S. presidential race is getting rather crowded. There has been no evidence in his short time in the U.S. Senate, however, that Obama is an agent of change and there is scant evidence in his platform or history of votes to suggest he can effect change faster or further than Hillary Clinton.

Obama Playbook Recalls Patrick Campaign
The Associated Press - 
BOSTON (AP) — Barack Obama, who has made his mark in the presidential race with his call for a new brand of politics, isn’t quite as singular on the the political scene as his campaign would suggest. Obama’s personal history, his campaign playbook and even his words share striking similarities with that of another up-and-coming black Democrat, his good friend Gov. Deval Patrick. Both have followed a simple but effective game plan in their political rise: Tell a compelling story about yourself and inspire people who feel left out to take back their government. Stay on a message of hope and unity.
