Washington Post: Democratic Hopefuls Court Activists in 'Virtual Town Hall'

Excerpt:
"Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.), offered her first opportunity to directly address many of her harshest critics within the Democratic Party about the Iraq war, fell back last night on a regular line in her presidential campaign.

"There are really two different ways to thinking about this. The first is what we can we do while President Bush is still in office. And the second is what I will do when I'm president," the 2008 presidential candidate said. "If the president won't end this war, when I'm president I will."

But if the remark was familiar, the context was not: Clinton was speaking not to a crowd in Iowa or New Hampshire but to thousands of members of an activist group who gathered at restaurants and houses around the country to watch seven Democratic presidential candidates discuss Iraq over the Web."
