A day after losing her tenth straight contest to Barack Obama, Senator Hillary Clinton-- trailing Obama by 14 points in the latest Reuters/Zogby poll-- gave a preview of what her strategy will be against the Democratic front-runner in the lead-up to the Texas and Ohio primaries on March 4th. SOUNDBITE: Hillary Clinton, presidential candidate, saying (English): "It's time that we moved from good words to good works, soundbites to sound solutions." That line got lots of applause at New York's Hunter College-- but it failed to produce a much-needed victory in Wisconsin. Still, the Clinton campaign believes that by painting Obama as just an impressive speechmaker-- it will lead to wins in Ohio and Texas. Jennifer Palmieri-- a former senior staffer with the campaign of John Edwards-- is a research fellow at the Center for American Progress. SOUNDBITE: Jennifer Palmieri, Center for American Progress, saying (English): "I think that it's difficult... but perhaps it's their only real case to make against him. But if you harp on it too much, you don't want to sound pessimistic and dour yourself as if somehow hope is a bad thing." John McCain, meanwhile, the likely Republican nominee is already looking ahead to the general election....turning up the heat on Barack Obama for appearing to back out of a pledge to agree to accept public financing in the general election. SOUNDBITE: John McCain, presidential candidate, saying (English): "That's Washington doublespeak. I committed to public financing, he (Obama) committed to public financing. It is not any more complicated than that." McCain has also criticized Obama for what he calls his empty rhetoric and his lack of national security experience. But Barack Obama, at a campaign rally in Dallas, Texas Wednesday signaled his strategy for dealing with McCain. SOUNDBITE: Barack Obama, presidential candidate, saying (English): "I respect John McCain for his service to his country. He is a genuine American hero. But let me tell you his policies are not he policies of change and that's the choice in this election. It's time to move beyond the politics of yesterday because we are the party of tomorrow. We're going forward." For Barack Obama, for at least the next two weeks, he will be fighting a political battle on two-fronts -- with Hillary Clinton in the race for the Democratic nomination-- and with John McCain -- who has already given a preview of what a general election match-up would look like and sound like.
