Indeed, the Clinton campaign has been trying to go on the attack since Obama's win in Iowa kicked off their epic struggle. Early attempts by Bill Clinton to scrape off some of Obama's smooth persona backfired, and later barrages - like the charge that Obama plagiarized parts of his speeches - failed only (a Clinton campaign official maintains) because the hectic calendar of primaries and caucuses allowed no time for them to "seep in."

...Field. Coming off of a 5-11 season plagued with injuries and inconsistency, Harvard was looking to come out of the gate quickly in order to set a different tone from last year. Last season, the Crimson met Holy Cross in its season opener and was barely able to scrape by with a win, 14-13. But Harvard showed a new face yesterday, dominating the entire way and capturing an impressive victory, 19-2. “Going into this game we knew that we needed to make a statement,” senior captain Natalie Curtis said...
