Headlines, Feb 25 - Hillary Clinton is upping the intensity and tone of her campaign. She angrily responded to two mass mailings the Obama campaign sent to voters in Ohio.

"Shame on you Barack Obama. It is time you ran a campaign consistent with your messages and public."

One of the fliers is on the North American Free Trade Agreement, suggested Clinton supported it until she ran for President. The other says her health care plan 'forces' people to buy health insurance.

"She doesn't like how the mandate is characterized because she wants to characterize it as universal health care in the same way I don't like how she characterizes my plan as leaving 15 million people out."

Clinton's plan includes a government issued mandate for health care, Obama's does not.

John McCainConservatives are rallying around John McCain after the New York Times and Washington Post released articles that suggested as Chair of the Senate Commerce Committee, McCain was influenced by telecommunications lobbyists. The New York Times Ombudsman disapproved of the article for suggestion McCain was romantically involved with a woman lobbyist. Meanwhile, The Washington Post focused on McCain's political ties to lobbyist Lowell "Bud" Paxson, who said he did meet with McCain, something the McCain campaign denied previously.
