Bill Clinton takes a swipe at media  —  Bill Clinton voiced his abiding anger at the media's coverage of him and his wife in Durham, N.H., today, and suggested that media bias will force Clinton to go negative on Barack Obama.  —  He also expressed his frustration that his wife is perceived …

New York Times:
A Campaign Retools to Seek Second Clinton Comeback  —  MANCHESTER, N.H. — Bill and Hillary Rodham Clinton have been in career-threatening scrapes before, but never quite like the one they face in the New Hampshire primary on Tuesday, when nothing less than their would-be dynasty will be on the line.
Dan Balz / The Trail:
Will N.H. Be Obama Territory, Too?  —  NASHUA, N.H. — There was a sense of urgency in Hillary Clinton's voice when she opened her first post-Iowa rally in an airplane hangar early Friday morning — and a look of concern on the face of the man who introduced her, former President Bill Clinton.

Hillary Booed at NH Democratic Party Dinner  —  If the New Hampshire Democratic Party's 100 Club dinner is any bell weather - Barack Obama will handily win here.  When Obama, the dinner's last speaker, took the stage the crowd surged forward chanting “O-bam-a” and “Fired Up, Ready to Go!”

Clinton: Obama's Too Liberal  —  Hillary Clinton's campaign seems determined to convince Barack Obama's detractors in the blogosphere that he is so a liberal after all:  —  Progressive record?  Heaven forbid!  I thought he didn't have experience.  —  The Tom Edsall article I got …
David Montero / Rocky Mountain News:
Rocky blogger Major Andrew Olmsted killed in Iraq  —  He was the first casualty for 2008 in Iraq.  And a small part of Maj. Andrew Olmsted likely would've chuckled at that fact.  It would be droll and play into his sense of self-deprecation.  —  But for everyone else, the news would be devastating.

Josh Marshall / Talking Points Memo:
WTF?  —  Okay, I could come up with a few good snarky lines on this one.  But I'll settle for someone just explaining to me what the hell Mike Huckabee's talking about.  —  TPMer Eric Kleefeld and I were chatting this evening about whether everyone's underestimating Huckabee's chances in this race.
Bill Gertz / Washington Times:

He's Absurdly Likeable.  A Favorite of the Faithful.  But, Does Mike Huckabee Have a Prayer?  —  Pick an issue - any issue - being debated in the United States of America as we approach the 2008 elections, and Mike Huckabee can find a way to tell you that it won't matter until we collectively slim down.
Discussion: Will Wilkinson
The Corner:
Obama: Ecstasy & Agony  —  This is just a late Friday night prediction.  But after reading this regrettable excess from Ezra Klein as well as all of the more reasonable but nonetheless hopeful, proud, idealistic and sincere sentiments of pride and well-wishing for Obama as the first serious …
Robin Koerner / The Moderate Voice:
Obama: The World's Candidate  —  Watching America.com is running a multiple feature of global stories about the candidate who has the world's attention - Obama.  He is has the world's attention not because he is personally more interesting than any other candidate, but because he is symbolically the most important - and by far.
Joseph A. Palermo / The Huffington Post:
Barack Obama, RFK, and Blackwater  —  Forty years ago, in 1968, when Robert F. Kennedy started his campaign for the Democratic Party's presidential nomination, he made a point to travel to what today would be considered “red” states.  Five days after he announced his candidacy, he visited Georgia, Alabama, and Tennessee.
David D. Kirkpatrick / New York Times:
Huckabee Moves to New Hampshire, With Tweaks to His Message  —  HENNIKER, N.H. — Fresh from his victory in the Iowa caucuses, Mike Huckabee has to be considered a serious contender for the Republican presidential nomination.  But that has not sobered up his distinctive Bible Belt-meets-Borscht Belt act on the stump.
Discussion: Hullabaloo
Matt Stoller / Open Left:
Turnout Thoughts  —  I am still gathering my thoughts on Obama's win.  In all likelihood, his vote count is lower than actual turnout for his candidacy due to the excessive weighting of rural precincts that went for Edwards.  And while Obama performed fantastically, Clinton and Edwards …
