Excepts from today’s news from Iowa
The poll by the Des Moines Register, the state’s largest newspaper, showed Obama with a three-point edge over national front-runner Hillary Clinton in Iowa, 28 percent to 25 percent, and former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards third at 23 percent.
Mr. Obama and Mr. Edwards have an obvious shared interest in stopping Mrs. Clinton from coming in first in Iowa. But there is another outcome that aides to Mr. Obama and Mr. Edwards (and Mrs. Clinton) have begun to think about these days — that Mrs. Clinton may come in third.

He said he was putting the Bush Administration “on notice” with his impeachment warning, saying the Constitution would require that Congress give the OK for a war. “War with Iran is not just a bad option, it would be a disaster,” he said.

Dec. 4: When the crisis in Pakistan erupted in early November, the world’s leaders phoned Democratic presidential candidate U.S. Sen. Joe Biden. The Quad-City Times reported that U.S. Deputy Sec’y of State John Negroponte called Sen. Biden in the middle of a stump speech for the latest on Pakistan. And weeks before Musharraf hit the news, Biden sounded the alarm on Pakistan during a nationally televised debate while others were focused on Iran.

You may have noticed that over the past couple of weeks that there have been one or two attacks on Barack Obama. You may have also noticed that Barack Obama has taken the lead in several new polls out of Iowa. These are not unrelated, of course.
While the Clinton goes after Barack Obama for everything up to and including what he dreamed about as a third grader, we are building a strong, grassroots organization on the ground in Iowa and across the country. It is resonating with ordinary people everywhere — people who are sick of the same old politics and want something new.
