With a new poll showing that Senator Obama of Illinois may be overtaking Senator Clinton in the early presidential caucus state of Iowa, Mrs. Clinton's camp is taking the unusual step of reaching all the way back to Mr. Obama's kindergarten days to find evidence of his duplicity about how long he has had designs on the White House.
Aides to Mrs. Clinton lashed out at Mr. Obama's claim, which he repeated yesterday, that he only recently decided to mount a presidential bid.
"I have not been planning to run for president for however number of years some of the other candidates have been planning for," Mr. Obama said at a news conference in Iowa. The Illinois senator has previously alluded to a disputed allegation in a book by Jeff Gerth and Don Van Natta Jr. that Mrs. Clinton and President Clinton made a plan before he took office that she would also seek the presidency.
Mrs. Clinton's team responded with an opposition research compilation pointing to news reports that Mr. Obama has expressed an interest in the presidency over the years, including as far back as third grade and even kindergarten. "Senator Obama's comment today is fundamentally at odds with what his teachers, family, classmates, and staff have said about his plans to run for president. Senator Obama's campaign rhetoric is getting in the way of his reality," a spokesman for Mrs. Clinton, Phil Singer, said in the release, which was also posted on a Web site run by her campaign, www.hillaryhub.com.
