In the wake of her humbling loss to Obama in Iowa yesterday, Hillary is planning to start drawing sharper "contrasts" between herself and the Illinois Senator in the days leading up to next week's New Hampshire primary -- and little by little, details are leaking out about Camp Hillary's evolving strategy.
Here's a quick rundown on what we're learning:
* Hillary aides are reportedly studying whether they can hit Obama on gun control, an issue where Obama has taken a hard line that might turn off some New Hampshire voters.
* Hillary, who isn't known for frequent Q and As with reporters, made herself extensively available to them in New Hampshire today, and quickly made it clear that she would now get serious about "drawing contrasts" with her "leading opponents." This was apparently part of a concerted effort on the Hillary camp's part to prevent Obama from coasting off his Iowa victory.
* Bill Clinton will spend the next five days campaigning for Hillary in New Hampshire, though he had reportedly not planned to.
* In another effort to signal that Camp Hillary would be playing rougher in the days ahead, Hillary also said this today:
"Of all the people running for president, Ive been the most vetted, the most investigated, and my goodness, the most innocent it turns out."
The one thing that no reporter seems to be able to nail down yet is whether Hillary's "contrast drawing" will include negative ads. The Clinton camp won't rule out their use, but no one's been able to confirm precisely what changes in ad strategy are in the cards.
What’s really funny is that all the liberal talkers know the bile is soon coming from the Clintons.

This is the line she needed to use on the Letterman show! Now thats funny!
"Of all the people running for president, Ive been the most vetted, the most investigated, and my goodness, the most innocent it turns out."
Obama has never made a $100,000 commodities score;ML/NJObama has never kissed Suha Arafat;
Obama has never abided rape;
Obama has never lost his billing records; AND
I cannot recall Obama ever saying, "I don't recall."
Sharper contrast? Why it’s already as clear as black and white!.................
LOL. They agree with each other on nearly every political issue. Kill innocent babies and steal other peoples private property.
Say what!?!?!
I thought that the “contrast” between the two was the reason Obama out-polled her in Iowa.
Hillary!08 is in denial now, heavy denial. Her Boomer generation is over. Finish it up, take your retirement, live long and happily, but forget this Hippy jazz.
Wonder if Hills will go “racist”
Will the media let her get away with it? Like they did when her husband groped and raped...
Wonder also if we start hearing about mysterious deaths
Hillary is going to go nuclear!
And thus begins the night of the long knives, Clinton style.
My opponent is a flaming liberal black man.
I am a white feminist Communist.
I remember this morning’s news shows saying that Obama’s support was the young, around 57% of that demographic. My daughter just turned 21 last month. The only presidents she has ever known were named Bush or Clinton. That is why Obama’s support will blossom in the days and weeks ahead. The “young” may well turn this election on it’s head, for once. Imagine your are in the 18-25 age group. Now for once in your entire life there’s a chance to elect a president that has a different moniker than Bush or Clinton...........,.
How high does the Clinton body count have to get before, my goodness, she’s considered guilty?
