U.S.A. votes 2008
Hillary Clinton passing a significant political milestone.
Sen. Hillary Clinton speaks at the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute presidential forum Wednesday.
For the first time, a majority of Democrats nationwide supports Clinton for their party's nomination. Clinton's support in the Washington Post-ABC News poll jumped 12 points from last month, to 53 percent. She's 33 points ahead of her closest competitor, Sen. Barack Obama.
That establishes Clinton as the clear national front-runner. Being front-runner means being a target of criticism from other Democrats.
"I heard Sen. Clinton say on Sunday that she wants to continue combat missions in Iraq. To me that's a continuation of the war," her Democratic presidential rival John Edwards said about her views on Iraq in a debate last month.
Obama attacked her attempt to reform the health care system during her husband's administration. "Part of the reason it was lonely, Hillary, was because you closed the door to a lot of potential allies in that process,'' Obama said.
