Nesse episódio do ABSTRATAMENTE bateremos um papo sobre um assunto bastante controverso. Teria sido Hitler vegetariano? E, caso fosse, isso teria algum tipo de implicação sobre o vegetarianismo? Para responder a essa polêmica questão utilizarei como base para o episódio de hoje o livro "Hitler: Neither Vegetarian nor Animal Lover", de Rynn Berry, publicado em 2004 pela editora Pythagorean. Utilizamos também a obra Regarding Animals, de Arnold Arluke e Clinton Sanders e Animais no Terceiro Reich, de Boria Sax, além de algumas biografias do líder nazista.=========Link para minha WISHLIST [lista de desejos] de livros na amazon.com.br: https://www.amazon.com.br/hz/wishlist/ls/XBO04CZ8V2YR?ref_=wl_share=========Siga o ABSTRATAMENTE nas nossas páginas no Instagram (@abstratamente_podcast) e Facebook (Abstratamente).

Cựu phó tổng thống của Barack Obama thắng lớn trong cuộc bầu cử sơ bộ quan trọng trong đảng Dân Chủ được gọi là Ngày Thứ Ba Trọng Đại, Siêu Thứ Ba Super Tuesday 03/03/2020. Tại 14 tiểu bang, Joe Biden thắng được 9 trong đó có Texas. Nhân vật từng bị chế giễu là « xác chết biết đi » đã chận đứng đà tiến của thượng nghị sĩ mang tư tưởng « xã hội chủ nghĩa » của bang Vermont, Bernie Sanders. Để được chọn làm đại diện cho đảng Dân Chủ tranh ghế tổng thống Mỹ, ứng cử viên về đầu phải được tối thiểu 1991 đại biểu ủng hộ. Trong số 1215 người công khai tuyên bố, Joe Biden được 560 còn Bernie Sanders được 501. Sự kiện nhà tỷ phú Michael Bloomberg rút lui và quay sang ủng hộ Joe Biden cũng như thất bại của nữ thượng nghị sĩ Elisabeth Warren cho phép suy đoán từ nay cho đến ngày Đại hội đảng vào trung tuần tháng 07, trên đường đua chỉ còn có hai người : cựu phó tổng thống của Barack Obama, chiếm thượng phong và thượng nghị sĩ bang Vermont, tranh nhau 38 bang còn lại. Trước các ủng hộ viên truyền thống tại Vermont, thượng nghị sĩ Bernie Sanders tuyên bố không nao núng : « Chúng ta sẽ được đảng Dân Chủ bầu chọn và chúng ta sẽ thắng Donald Trump ». Diễn biến bất ngờ này đặt ra ba câu hỏi : Nhờ đâu mà Joe Biden chuyển bại thành thắng ? Liệu có tái diễn kịch bản chia rẽ nội bộ trong đảng Dân Chủ năm 2016 ? Và vì sao có xu hướng chận đà tiến của thượng nghị sĩ Vermont và ưu đãi phó tổng thống Joe Biden ? Từ Washington, nhà báo Phạm Trần phân tích : Nhờ các yếu tố nào mà Joe Biden chuyển bại thành thắng ? Nhà báo Phạm Trần : « Joe Biden thắng là có ba lý do. Thứ nhất là lãnh đạo phe chính thống và ôn hòa trong đảng Dân Chủ quyết định đứng sau lưng ông Joe Biden sau thắng lợi của ông ấy tại bang Nam Carolina ngày thứ Bảy 29/02. Thứ hai nữa là người da màu đi bỏ phiếu rất đông. Theo kết quả thăm dò trước phòng phiếu, thì cứ mười người là có hơn sáu người bỏ phiếu cho Joe Biden. Lý do thứ ba là những cử tri lớn tuổi, những người đi bầu chăm chỉ, chiếm tỷ lện từ 60% đến 70% trong các cuộc bầu cử cũng ủng hộ Joe Biden….Joe Biden còn được sự ủng hộ của nghiệp đoàn lao động lớn nhất của Mỹ. Trong lịch sử Hoa Kỳ, thời Richard Nixon tranh cử, ông ấy cũng ba chìm bảy nổi trước khi được đảng Cộng Hoà đề cử và thắng cử vào năm 1968. Năm 1992, Bill Clinton cũng gặp khó khăn trước khi đảng Dân Chủ bầu làm ứng cử viên. Nhưng trường hợp Joe Biden, trước ngày Thứ Ba vừa rồi, người ta còn cho là ông có thể thất bại trước cuộc vận động tranh cử rất hào hứng của Bernie Sanders. Nhưng đến khi bỏ phiếu ngày 29/02 tại Nam Carolina, lúc đó báo chí nói ông là ứng cử viên chết đi sống lại một cách vinh quang. Bây giờ người ta nói Joe Biden là một đối thủ lợi hại » Liệu cặp đối thủ Biden-Sanders có tái diễn kịch bản Clinton-Sanders 2016 làm đảng Dân Chủ thua bất ngờ ? Nhà báo Phạm Trần : Mình đã thấy rõ là còn hai người sáng giá nhất là cựu phó tổng thống Joe Biden và thượng nghị sĩ Bernie Sanders. Vào năm 2016, một trong những lý do làm bà Hillary Clinton thất bại là bởi vì Bernie Sanders chỉ công khai ủng hộ bà Clinton vào những tuần lễ sau cùng của cuộc vận động tranh cử chống Donald Trump. Vào lúc đó, các lãnh tụ đảng Dân Chủ rất bực mình Bernie Sanders. Bây giờ, kết quả bầu hôm thứ Ba vừa qua cho thấy phe ôn hoà, phe truyền thống không muốn tái diễn các màn kịch 2016, không để cho ông Bernie Sanders làm chuyện đó, nghĩa là từ nay đến tháng Sáu, còn 38 cuộc tranh cử sơ bộ mà phần lớn các bang mà đa số nghiên về Joe Biden như Florida, Michigan, New Jersey… là những tiểu bang có số đại biểu đông và không nghiêng về ông Bernie Sanders. Nhưng vì sao phe ôn hoà muốn cản đường thượng nghị sĩ bang Vermont ? Nhà báo Phạm Trần : Lý do chính là người ta sợ lập trường cấp tiến quá độ, có thể nói là thiên tả. Bởi vì người ta có hồ sơ Bernie Sanders thân phía Nga sô. Khi là thị trưởng một thành phố ở Vermont ông kết nghĩa với Matxcơva, ông ca ngợi Castro của Cuba , đi thăm Nicaragua, ca ngợi hai nước này có chính sách xã hội, y tế, giáo dục công bằng hơn Hoa Kỳ. Vì thế, ông đưa ra một chính sách về di dân, về sức khỏe và giáo dục rất là cấp tiến và tốn phí. Do vậy, người ta hỏi tiền đâu ông có để thực hiện. Các chủ trương như là bỏ học phí đại học, xóa nợ 1600 tỷ đôla của sinh viên vay tiền đi học… bị xem là có mục đích câu phiếu giới trẻ. Còn chính sách di dân cởi mở là để câu phiếu cử tri gốc Nam Mỹ… Điều làm đảng Dân Chủ sợ hơn nữa là nếu Bernie Sanders được đề cử thì sẽ thất bại vì Donald Trump có hồ sơ để tấn công Bernie Sanders đặc biệt là vấn đề thân với Fidel Castro… Do vậy báo chí Mỹ thân đảng Dân Chủ cũng đứng về phe ôn hòa và tìm cách ngăn chận đà tiến của Bernie Sanders.

In 2013, the late Mark Fisher wrote an essay that immediately became a lightning rod in Left politics. “Exiting the Vampire Castle,” took aim at a leftism which Fisher saw as replacing class interests with a moralizing, liberal identity politics. In many ways, the essay predicted the aftermath of Trump's election and the Clinton/Sanders debates. More importantly, however, it offers us a chance to think about how political discourse is changed by social media. Joining the Sectarian Review Podcast for this episode is C. Derick Varn. In addition to his long history of being involved in leftist political debates, Varn has special insight into this particular essay, as he was one of the editors who originally commissioned it in the first place.

Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton both came out swinging in a fiery, high-stakes debate on CNN Thursday night, as he cast doubt on her judgment and she criticized his command of policy and his record on guns. Sanders accusing Clinton of "lacking the kind of judgment we need to be the kind of president we need." The Vermont senator said Clinton's support for the Iraq War and "disastrous trade agreements," and the fact that a pro-Clinton super PAC accepts funds from Wall Street, made him "question her judgment." Clinton shot back, calling those attacks "phony." "Sen. Sanders did call me unqualified," she said. "I've been called a lot of things in my life -- that was a first." The two candidates then clashed on the issue of Wall Street. When asked to name a single policy decision Clinton made as senator that showed she was favoring the banks, Sanders said that when the "greed and recklessness and illegal behavior of Wall Street" led to the financial crisis, he had called on the big banks to be broken up -- while Clinton was "busy giving speeches to Goldman Sachs." Clinton shot back: "He cannot come up with any example because there is no example ... It's always important -- it may be inconvenient -- but it's always important to get the facts straight." When she also said that she had called out the big banks for the actions, Sanders took a mocking tone. "Oh my goodness, they must have been really crushed by this," he said, asking whether her statements came before or after "receiving huge sums" from the banks in speaking fees. Clinton was pressed by CNN co-moderator Dana Bash on why she would not release the transcripts from the speeches she made to Goldman Sachs and put the issue to rest. Clinton answered: "There isn't an issue. When I was in public service serving as the senator from New York, I did stand up to the banks." Clinton -- as she has in the past -- asked that there be the "same standard for everybody," saying she would be happy to release the transcripts if other presidential candidates, including Donald Trump, did the same. She then turned the tables on Sanders and his tax returns, saying: "Set the same standard on tax returns. Everybody does it -- and then we move forward." Sanders, who has come under pressure to release his tax returns, vowed on the CNN debate stage to release his previous year's return on Friday. Returns from earlier years, he said, would also be released "very shortly." The two also displayed intense friction over gun control. Throughout the election, Clinton has criticized Sanders' record in Congress on gun control -- an attack she once again made forcefully on Thursday night. Clinton accused Sanders of having made a "commitment to the NRA" to oppose a waiting period for background checks on gun purchases -- and slammed the senator for voting against the so-called "Brady bill" five times. While speaking of the crime bill Clinton's husband Bill ushered in as president, Sanders called a term she had used in the 1990s -- superpredator -- "a racist term." She has since said it was a word she shouldn't have used. The debate in Brooklyn comes just five days before the crucial New York primary contest here. However, Clinton began with an oblique attack on the GOP, defending the "New York values" that Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz, a Texas senator, has used as a pejorative. Speaking of her days representing the state in the U.S. Senate, she said, "We worked hard to really keep New York values at the center of what we are and what we do together." RELATED: #Dem Debate comes to media's home turf The heated debate also quickly exposed tensions between Clinton and Sanders on the issue of income inequality -- specifically, raising the minimum wage. Asked whether she would sign a bill raising the federal minimum wage to $15, Clinton responded: "Of course I would." That response drew this skeptical reaction from Sanders: "I am sure a lot of people are very surprised to learn that you support raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour. That's just not accurate." In one of the most animated exchanges of the evening, the two candidates began to talk over one another, eventually prompting moderator Wolf Blitzer to intervene. "If you're both screaming at each other, the viewers won't be able to hear either of you," Blitzer said. The crowd, for its part, was much rowdier than at previous Democratic debates, cheering and hissing throughout the event. Sanders insisted that while he has long been fighting to raise the national minimum wage to $15, Clinton had only advocated to raise it to $12. "$12 is not good enough, we need $15 an hour," Sanders said. Until recently, the Democratic race had remained relatively tame, largely devoid of the personal attacks and heated rhetoric that have characterized the GOP contest. But as the race has dragged on into April, there has been a shift. In recent days, Sanders has questioned Clinton's judgment and credibility, pointing to her relationship with Wall Street and vote for the Iraq War. Clinton, meanwhile, has had harsh words for Sanders, sharply questioning whether he is capable of executing the promises embedded in his lofty rhetoric. And Clinton and her aides had been signaling for days that they planned to hit Sanders for his views on gun control, particularly his belief that victims of gun violence should not be able to sue gun and ammunition manufacturers. The likelihood that this issue would become a flashpoint on Thursday skyrocketed earlier in the day when a judge in Connecticut ruled that the suit between the families of Sandy Hook victims and the manufacturer of the gun used in the 2012 shooting there could go forward. The viability of the lawsuit was in doubt because of the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, a law Sanders supported that protects gun manufacturers from liability. Clinton hit Sanders for the law at a roundtable on gun violence on Monday and is likely to do so again Thursday night. Sanders is also poised to have to address the latest controversy that has engulfed his campaign: On Wednesday, surrogate Paul Song said at a campaign rally that the Democratic party must stop electing "corporate Democratic whores." Sanders quickly disavowed those comments, calling them "inappropriate and insensitive." The debate is taking place at Brooklyn Navy Yard, located across the East River from Manhattan, making it a home-turf battle for both candidates. Clinton served as a New York senator for eight years and Brooklyn is the location of her campaign headquarters, while Sanders was born and raised in the borough. RELATED: NYC First Lady 'Bernie is getting desperate' Polls show Clinton is likely to defeat Sanders in New York, and even as she enjoys a sizable delegate lead, it is critical for Clinton that she win this state. The Democratic race so far has proven Sanders to be an unexpectedly durable candidate whose popularity among liberals and younger voters has helped to expose the vulnerabilities in Clinton's candidacy. The New York race comes after a string of victories for Sanders in states including Wyoming, Wisconsin, Idaho and Utah. If Sanders were to eke out a win in New York, it would deal a serious blow to Clinton and strengthen the narrative that it is taking Clinton much longer than initially expected to clinch her party's nomination.

Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders angrily clashed over auto industry bailouts, guns and ties to Wall Street on Sunday, as underlying tensions in the Democratic presidential race burst into the open at an impassioned CNN debate in Flint, Michigan. The forum quickly turned into a heated philosophical argument about an economy that Sanders said is weighted against the middle and working classes and is abetted, he said, by close ties between politicians, such as Clinton, and Wall Street financiers. Sanders accused Clinton of supporting "disastrous" trade policies that contributed to corporate America's decision to move manufacturing from cities like Flint to low-wage economies in Central America and Asia. But she in turn said that Sanders had refused to vote for a bailout for the auto industry that was included in the outgoing Bush administration's attempts to stave off the financial crisis.

The forum quickly turned into a heated philosophical argument about an economy that Sanders said is weighted against the middle and working classes and is abetted, he said, by close ties between politicians, such as Clinton, and Wall Street financiers. Sanders accused Clinton of supporting "disastrous" trade policies that contributed to corporate America's decision to move manufacturing from cities like Flint to low-wage economies in Central America and Asia. But she in turn said that Sanders had refused to vote for a bailout for the auto industry that was included in the outgoing Bush administration's attempts to stave off the financial crisis. Flint: It's not just about the water "If everybody had voted the way he did, I believe the auto industry would have collapsed, taking four million jobs with it," Clinton said. Clinton also pressed Sanders on guns and accused him of being too close to the National Rifle Association. "You talk about corporate greed. The gun manufacturers sell guns to make as much money as they can make," Clinton said. Sanders replied by responding that, effectively, Clinton's arguments would amount to a ban on the manufacture of guns. At one point, both candidates talked over one another in their determination to make their points about the economy. "Excuse me, I am talking," Sanders said. Sanders repeatedly knocked Clinton for her ties to the finance industry and demanded that she release transcripts of her paid speeches to Wall Street firms. Clinton said she will do so when other candidates, including Republicans, agree to do the same. Clear schisms While the exchanges were intense and revealed clear schisms between Clinton and Sanders, they were largely confined to policy differences, and lacked the personal -- and even vulgar -- tone that characterized the last two Republican debates Clinton and Sanders opened the debate agreeing on one point: that Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder should step down over his response to the toxic water crisis in Flint. Sanders accused Synder of "dereliction of duty" while Clinton said the governor should "resign or be recalled" -- a comment that represented a new position for the former secretary of state. Snyder tweeted in his own defense during the debate. "I'm taking responsibility as our value system says we should. My track record is getting things done, and I want to get this done," he wrote on Twitter. Both candidates expressed alarm over the water crisis that erupted in Flint when government officials switched the city's water source temporarily in April 2014 from the Great Lakes to the Flint River to cut costs. Pollution from the highly corrosive river water then ate into the city's water system, causing lead to leach into the water supply. "It's raining lead in Flint," Clinton said. Sanders recalled his visit to the city last month and said, "What I heard and what I saw literally shattered me." Clinton demanded an investigation to determine the government's responsibility for the water crisis. "They failed this city," she said. Sanders also said he would fire anyone responsible for negligence in the government and made a case that the situation was a symptom of a government that had lost its focus on the people. Super Saturday victories The debate in Flint comes a day after Sanders pulled off morale-boosting Super Saturday victories in caucuses in Kansas and Nebraska, doubling up on Clinton, who won one matchup -- the Louisiana primary. During the debate, CNN projected that Sanders would win the Maine Democratic caucuses. But Clinton's victory in the Louisiana primary on Saturday, which had the most delegates on offer this weekend, means that her lead in the presidential race of around 200 pledged delegates, remains essentially the same. Michigan holds its primary on Tuesday. The Democratic presidential campaign is unfolding amid themes of race, economic opportunity and the problems afflicting blue-collar workers that are crystallized in the city of Flint in an age of globalization. More coverage on the water crisis in Flint, Michigan Residents say that even though the water supply has now been switched back to Lake Huron, the damage done to piping in their homes and in the water infrastructure remains severe and they are forced to drink bottled water. Michigan officials are investigating the extent to which lead poisoning has harmed the residents, including children, amid reports of severe rashes, developmental issues and other health problems consistent with lead poisoning. The debate offered members of the audience directly affected by some of the local issues a chance to question the candidates. LeeAnne Walters, one of the first people to alert authorities about the Flint water crisis after her children developed health problems, asked the candidates to promise that if they were elected president, they would require the removal of all lead service lines from public water systems in the United States. Gene Kopf, father of 14-year-old Abigail Kopf, who was shot and badly injured in a rampage in Kalamazoo, Michigan, posed a question about gun control. More than a water crisis Flint's problems are not limited to its water crisis. The city has long been a symbol of economic blight and the human implications of the decline of large-scale industrial manufacturing following the loss of its GM car manufacturing plant. More than 410f Flint's residents live below the poverty level, according to the U.S. Census. When asked about the flight of blue-collar jobs from cities such as Flint, Clinton said she would "stop this kind of jobs exporting." But Sanders hit back: "I am very glad . . . that Secretary Clinton has discovered religion on this issue."

Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders clash at CNN town hall Democratic presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders traded barbs Wednesday night over who best embodies progressive values. At a CNN town hall in Derry, New Hampshire, ahead of next Tuesday's first-in-the-nation primary, Sanders slammed Clinton, arguing that she's out of step with the party's base on issues ranging from campaign finance to climate change, trade and the Iraq War. "I do not know any progressive who has a super PAC and takes $15 million from Wall Street," Sanders told CNN's Anderson Cooper. "That's just not progressive. As I mentioned earlier, the key foreign policy vote of modern American history was the war in Iraq. The progressive community was pretty united in saying, 'Don't listen to Bush. Don't go to war.' Secretary Clinton voted to go to war." Clinton shot back in her session following Sanders, quipping that she was "amused" that the Vermont senator appears to consider himself the "gatekeeper on who's progressive." "So I'm not going to let that bother me," she said. "I know where I stand." The tough exchange came on a day of escalating tension between Clinton and Sanders. Since Monday night's Iowa caucuses, which Clinton narrowly won, the two have traded sharp words over the ideological direction of the Democratic Party in the post-Barack Obama era. Still, the race isn't nearly as negative as the Republican primary contest, which was dominated on Wednesday by personal attacks among Donald Trump, Ted Cruz and Ben Carson. One of the more revealing exchanges came when Cooper referred to Sanders' frequent call for a "political revolution" and asked Clinton what would be wrong with that. Clinton paused before responding, "That's for Sen. Sanders to explain." And, harkening back to one of her most famous quotes from the 1990s, Clinton said she still believes in a "vast right wing conspiracy." "Don't you?" she asked. "It's gotten even better funded. They brought in some new multi-millionaires to pump the money in." Meanwhile, Sanders, a self-proclaimed democratic socialist, defended his own credentials as a member of the Democratic Party, noting that the party's leadership on Capitol Hill has placed him in high-ranking positions on congressional committees. "Of course I am a Democrat and running for the Democratic nomination," he said. Sanders: Last night we began the political revolution Sanders pushed back on the suggestion that Clinton is a better general-election candidate than he would be. The senator, who has drawn massive crowds to his campaign rallies and has somewhat of a cult following among younger voters, said history shows that Democrats win elections when there is large voter turnout. There is simply more enthusiasm fueling his campaign than Clinton's, he said: "An objective assessment would say there is more excitement and energy in our campaign." He also took a shot at Trump, calling him a candidate who doesn't support working Americans. But as much as Sanders doesn't like the Republican's agenda, the senator said he would delight in taking him on in November. "I want Trump to win the Republican nomination and I would love the opportunity to run against him," he said. "I think we would win by a lot." He also insisted that he's the underdog in the Democratic race despite his commanding lead in New Hampshire polls. "Of course we're an underdog. We are taking on the most powerful political organization in the country," Sanders told Cooper in another clear swipe at Clinton. "We started this campaign nationally, as you well know, 40, 50, points behind Secretary Clinton ... I think it's fair to say we have come a pretty long way in the last nine months." Clinton trying to narrow gap in New Hampshire Polls in New Hampshire suggest the primary will not be as close as the nail-biting Democratic caucuses in Iowa. Sanders, exploiting his high favorability in a state that borders his stomping ground of Vermont, has a strong advantage, leading Clinton in the latest CNN Poll of Polls.

Clinton, Sanders highlight big differences Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders drew sharp contrasts with each other at a CNN Democratic town hall in Des Moines, Iowa, on Monday -- exactly one week before voters there attend the first in the nation caucuses. Clinton said she was "really touched" by President Barack Obama's praise for her in a recent interview as she tried to portray herself as the most effective potential guardian of his legacy. She pushed back against questions that asked why some younger voters are less enthusiastic about her candidacy than that of Sanders. And pressed on whether she was late in addressing income inequality, she said she has spent decades combating inequality of all kinds. Clinton asked why young people think she's 'dishonest' "Don't get discouraged," Clinton said. "It's hard. If it were easy, hey, there wouldn't be any contest. But it's not easy. There are very different visions, different values, different forces at work, and you have to have somebody who is a proven fighter -- somebody who has taken them on and won, and kept going, and will do that as president." Passionate final argument Sanders, meanwhile, hit Clinton hard over Iraq, trade, the Keystone Pipeline and Wall Street regulation as he drove home a passionate final argument to Iowa voters. He sought to portray himself as the true personification of change in the Democratic race for the White House. He argued that though Clinton has wide experience, she was wrong on key issues. "We need a political revolution," he said. "We are touching a nerve with the American people who understand that establishment politics is just not good enough." Bernie Sanders' political career 13 photos: Bernie Sanders' political career Sanders dismissed Clinton's political record, seeking to prove he was closer to the Democratic Party base and just as prepared to be president as Clinton. "I voted against the war in Iraq ... Hillary Clinton voted for the war in Iraq," Sanders said. "I led the effort against Wall Street deregulation. See where Hillary Clinton was on this issue." "On day one, I said the Keystone Pipeline was a dumb idea. Why did it take Hillary Clinton a long time before she came into opposition to the Keystone Pipeline? I didn't have to think hard about opposing the Trans Pacific Partnership. It took Hillary Clinton a long time to come on board that." He also warned unapologetically that taxes would rise if he is elected President, especially to pay for his Medicare-for-all health care plan. Bernie Sanders will raise taxes to pay for health care Sanders argued, however, that the taxes are worth it, given what American families will save in premiums. And, living up to his image as a self-declared Democratic socialist, he warned corporations and the richest Americans that they would pay more. "Yes, you are going to start paying for your fair share of taxes," Sanders said. "I demand that Wall Street start paying its fair share of taxes." Sense of humor For a candidate who has been caricatured as overly serious, Sanders' sense of humor came through at the town hall. He laughed with ease during exchanges with moderator Chris Cuomo and boasted of his athletic prowess as an elementary school basketball player. Clinton, meanwhile, hugged Obama close, and said she was deeply affected by an interview that Obama conducted with Politico in which he appeared, without making a formal endorsement, to argue Clinton was uniquely qualified for the presidency. "I was really touched and gratified when I saw that," Clinton said, relating how her relationship with her former 2008 Democratic primary rival developed into a close friendship when she served as his first-term secretary of state. The Democratic presidential candidates appeared one after the other for a half hour each at the town hall meeting at Drake University. The forum will showcase the contrast emerging between Clinton, the national front-runner and Obama's first secretary of state, and Sanders, who is mounting a stronger than expected challenge. Long shot candidate Martin O'Malley also appeared on stage and argued that he represented a generational change in politics that neither Sanders nor Clinton could match. Latest polling Latest polling shows Clinton and Sanders locked in a tight contest in Iowa. In the most recent CNN Poll of Polls, Sanders edges Clinton 46-percent to 44-percent in Iowa, with O'Malley at 4-percent. Hillary Clinton's career in the spotlight 50 photos: Hillary Clinton's career in the spotlight And in a new CNN/ORC national poll published on Monday, Clinton led Sanders 52-percent to 38-percent with former Maryland Gov. O'Malley way back on 2-percent. Though the survey showed a significant cushion for Clinton, her advantage was smaller than at any time since September. The poll showed women, non-whites, self-identified Democrats, and those over age 50 breaking sharply for Clinton. Men, white voters, independents who lean Democratic and younger voters are more likely to support Sanders. The Iowa contest is particularly important to Clinton, who lost the state in 2008, setting in motion Obama's path to the White House. A victory for Sanders could reshape the entire Democratic race while a Clinton win could quell jitters in her camp and help put her on the path to the nomination. Clinton, however, insisted she wasn't worried. "I'm proud of the campaign we've run and what we've put out there before the American people," she said. "It's a tough campaign and it should be because it's the toughest job in the world."
