Obama News on Thursday

Hillary Clinton's campaign, apparently responding to their own sliding poll numbers, have gone personal bringing up Barack Obama's drug use as a teenager that the Illinois senator mentions in his own writings.

It's a risky approach by the Clinton group especially in Iowa, where negative campaigning is often oooked down at. Mutual attacks by Howard Dean and Richard Gephardt during the last Iowa caucus in 2004 are believed to have helped John Kerry slip by the frontrunners to a surprise victory.

Four Dem. County Chairs endorse Obama

Four leaders of the Democratic Party at the county level in Iowa have endorsed Barack Obama today.

The county chairs of Appanoose, Benton, Lucas, and Monroe counties have promised to campaign for Obama in their respective counties.

Yesterday, former South Carolina Democratic Party Chairman, Joe Erwin, who stepped down earlier this year, announced his support for the senator.
