Clinton's full-blown response to Edwards signals that her team considers him a top-tier threat. He has been touring the country ever since his 2004 defeat as Sen. John Kerry's vice-presidential running mate. The former North Carolina senator has topped polls in Iowa, home of the first-in-the-nation caucuses. Clinton now faces a double-barreled threat from two charismatic contenders, Edwards and Sen. Barack Obama (Ill.).
Although Edwards and Clinton both gave the same vote to authorize the war in Iraq, it is Edwards that has been the more outspoken critic of the war now. Hillary has been much more moderate and has closely watched her criticism of the war in order to boost her hawk credentials. Edwards has recanted for his original vote while Hillary has not said her vote was a mistake.
