This fight hasn't suffered from lack of attention, but we haven' focused on most of the back and forth. Given how fast it is developing it is easy to lose track. There are lots of specific items, but here are some highlights from their dispute.
First, President Clinton used the phrase 'fairy tale' in a New Hampshire appearance when discussing Obama's position on the war.
In Nevada, Sen. Obama stated that President Reagan, not President Clinton, was the last transcendent president.
President Clinton argued that the media is 'crazy' for putting so much focus on their fight.
Last week (1/21) Senator Obama discussed the 'troubling' nature of the comments on Good Morning America.
As the South Carolina primary results were coming in, President Clinton attempted to dismiss Obama's win citing that Rev. Jesse Jackson twice won the South Carolina primary.
Finally, this morning on ABC's this week, Sen. Obama answered the Jackson comparison by describing the differences between the two political eras. Watch this clip and Sen. Obama's victory speech in SC and you an emerging theme of past vs. future in his speeches.
