The race for the Democratic presidential nomination moved into overdrive Saturday, as candidates scrambled to outdo each other to win over the Iowa activists who will leadoff the contest on Jan. 3.

But it was the matchup between Clinton and Barack Obama that was watched closest.

Clinton has a significant lead nationally, but only a small edge in Iowa where she is being pressed by both Obama and Edwards. Clinton and Obama stacked the hall with larger contingents than their rivals, Obama bringing along a few thousand red-shirted backers and Clinton with an equal number of noisemaker-sporting supporters.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi moderated the event, telling activists "they are going to hear from the next president of the United States."

Advocates for various causes held news conferences seeking a slice of the heavy media attention. Anti-war activists were joined in a protest march by backers of former Sen. Mike Gravel and Ohio Rep. Dennis Kucinich, who were not invited to the dinner because they don't have active campaign operations in the state.

1. HRC spoke: Conclusion: wins nomination, then presidency.

Just saw some of Obama's speech and he was talking down to a lot of folks in that audience and he began to sound more like a sunday school teacher then a candidate. I like Obama and am sure he will become one of Illinois best senators and maybe in 16 he will be successful in his bid for the presidency....
