cnn.com: WASHINGTON (CNN) — John Edwards and Barack Obama both found themselves the target of fresh attacks Tuesday in an increasingly tight Democratic presidential contest.
In New Hampshire, New York Sen. Hillary Clinton’s campaign released its toughest mailer to date. The piece took aim at Obama’s health care plan, excerpting critics who called him “wrong on policy” and his plan “incomplete.” (Read the mailer[PDF])
The Clinton campaign also sent out a press release that questioned the Illinois senator’s electability. The e-mail pointed to both a newly-released New York Times/CBS poll and a Politico report on a 1996 candidate questionnaire that stated Obama was against capital punishment ,and in favor of banning handguns.
Obama’s campaign said that he does not hold those views, and that the survey had been filled out by a staffer, not the senator himself.
