Clinton, Edwards Critical of Obama's GOP Praise

Hillary Rodham Clinton and John Edwards criticized Barack Obama's praise of the Republican Party and Ronald Reagan - an anathema for many Democrats, particularly union members considered crucial to winning Nevada's Democratic caucuses Saturday. Obama responded by suggesting Clinton would be a "president whose plans change with the politics of the moment" as part of one of his most direct critiques of the New York senator yet.The intensity reflects what polls suggest could be a tight contest today as Nevada plays its most prominent role ever in a presidential nominating campaign.Obama told a newspaper that he thought it was fair to say that the Republicans were the party of ideas for a pretty long chunk of time there over the last 10 or 15 years in the sense that the were challenging conventional wisdom. I think President Reagan was a great man. He was our governor when we lived there for 9 years.
