Rivals Accuse Clinton of Flip-Flopping
Obama and Edwards Offer Sharp Critique of Clinton
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 30, 2007

Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., faced a barrage of stinging critiques from her rivals for the Democratic presidential nomination Tuesday night, with Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., and former Sen. John Edwards accusing her of flip-flopping on key issues and supporting a resolution that some fear could lead to war in Iran.

After publicly promising to sharpen his rhetoric in his battle against Clinton, Obama, started the debate by highlighting areas where he said the Democratic frontrunner has shifted positions when it's "politically convenient."

Obama said Clinton "has been for NAFTA previously, now she's against it. She has taken one position on torture several months ago and then most recently has taken a different position. She voted for a war, to authorize sending troops into Iraq, and then later said this was a (vote) for diplomacy."

Edwards highlighted Clinton's vote on the Iran resolution, saying it was "written literally by the neocons," and delivered a series of sharp jabs that cast Clinton as the candidate of the status quo.
