John Edwards, debated at 1 close quarters five days before the South Carolina primary and 15 days before the equivalent of a nationwide primary across 20 states that will go a long way toward settling the battle for the party's nomination. Clinton was the national frontrunner for months in the race, but Obama won the kick-off Iowa caucuses three weeks ago, knocking her off-stride. She recovered quickly, winning the New Hampshire primary in an upset, and on Saturday won the popular vote in the Nevada caucuses while Obama won one more delegate than she. The Democratic electorate in South Carolina is, expected to be roughly 50 percent black, an evident advantage. for Obama in a historic race that matches a black man against a woman.

Even in the superheated atmosphere of the primary, the statements and exchanges between Clinton and Obama were unusually acrimonious. The debate came as the two campaigns continued to complain about dirty politics and disenfranchisement of voters in last Saturday's Nevada caucuses. Obama suggested the Clintons were practicing the kind of political tactics that had alienated voters. GREENWOOD COUNTY I Louise S.

20, 2008 at National Healthcare in Greenwood. MYRTI BEAC AP photo Democratic presidential hopeful John Edwards walks onto the stage Monday before the debate. "There was a set of assertions made by Senator Clinton as well as her husband that are not factually' accurate," Obama said. "I think that part of what people are looking for, right now is someone who is going to solve problems and not resort to the same typical politics that we've seen in Washington." Clinton countered: "I believe your record and what you say should matter." Edwards, who badly trails his two rivals, tried to stay above the fray while pleading for equal time. "Are there three people in this debate, not two?" he asked.

"We have got to understand, this is not about us personally. It's about what we are trying to do for this country," Edwards said to applause from the audience.

Obama questioned why the New York senator had voted for a bankruptcy bill that she. later said she was glad hadn't passed, and Clinton criticized Obama for voting "present" on dozens of occasions while a member of the Illinois legislature.

"Senator Obama, it's hard to have a straight-up debate with you because you never take responsibility for any vote," Clinton said to loud boos. "On issue after issue, you voted Whenever someone raises that, there's always some sort of explanation." Obama accused Clinton of playing loose with the facts and saying anything to get elected, while Edwards joined Clinton in criticizing Obama for the "present" votes. "Why would you over 100 times vote 'present'?" Edwards pointedly challenged Obama. He said he didn't simply refuse to vote on controversial bills in Congress. "It would have been safe for me politically, but I have a responsibility to take a position even if it costs me politically." Obama said most of his 'present' votes didn't have political consequences but were because of technical or legal concerns.

In 2006, her Senate campaign returned $5,000 to the company's political action committee while citing differences with company policies.

A blind trust held by Clinton and her husband, the former president, included stock holdings in Wal-Mart. They liquidated the contents of the blind trust in 2007 because of investments that could pose conflicts of interest as she ran for president. Chicago real estate developer and fast food magnate Antoin "Tony" Rezko was a longtime fundraiser for Obama. Prosecutors have charged him with fraud, attempted extortion and money laundering in what they allege was a scheme to get campaign money and payoffs from firms seeking to do business before two state boards. Obama's campaign said Saturday it was giving to charities more than $40,000 from donors linked to Rezko.
