Obama's 'Anyone But Hillary' Strategy

Two events, about a week apart, help illustrate the contest between
the two leading Democratic candidates. The first, as reported by the
Wall Street Journal's John Fund, took place in Colorado at the Aspen
Institute Ideas Festival, where Bill Clinton strode the stage to
introduce his wife and received a standing ovation from the cheering
crowd. As Fund wrote, "The Clinton magic clearly still works for many
people."
The other event, beginning in Huntsville, Ala., was a less raucous
affair. As the Birmingham News reported Tuesday, Barack Obama was on a
sweep of the state during which he pulled in more than $100,000. While
Obama spoke at a $1,000-plate luncheon audience, outside gathered a
small crowd of supporters; one of them held a sign that read "Anybody
but Hillary Even You."
