Obama, Clinton Trade Blows in Wisconsin

Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama raised their battle for the Democratic presidential nomination up a notch as they traded barbs over who has the mettle to take on the Republicans and win back the White House.

``It will take more than just speeches to fulfill our dreams,'' New York Senator Clinton, 60, said at a Wisconsin Democratic Party dinner in Milwaukee late yesterday. ``It will take a lot of hard work.''

``Don't tell me words don't matter,'' Obama, 46, said in a speech following Clinton's. ``If we don't inspire the country to believe again, then it doesn't matter how many policies and plans we have.''

Obama and Clinton, vying for votes before Wisconsin's Feb. 19 primary, have been sparring over accusations of negative campaigning, style over substance and who would most effectively fight Washington special interests and chart a new course for the U.S.
