Iowa-New Hampshire Transition Game
With just three days left before the New Hampshire primaries, candidates are clearly scrambling to play the quick transition game. The Washington Post has a good quick summary of the crucial factors in Iowa that might carry over to NH.
On the Democratic side, the initial buzz is that Clinton is going to go after Barack Obama's Illinois record for being too liberal, while John Edwards continues to go after Obama for failing to sufficiently understand the satanic nature of corporations. It will be interesting to see if these attack lines cancel each other out, or raise doubts about Obama's rarely discussed ideological background.

Looks like Hillaryland won't go negative on the airwaves in NH:

The campaign thinks there's not enough time for negative ads to make an impact.
