译文:希拉里的可爱造势
纽约州参议员希拉里.罗海姆.克林顿试图改变她在选民心目中冰冷的形象.星期一，在她帮助过的朋友、同事和选民的推动下发起了一场展现她的个人魅力的活动。
在希拉里赢得一项重要的由《第蒙记事报》支持的和由《波士顿环球报》支持的伊利诺州参议员巴拉克.奥巴马提名竞选后的第二天，举行了一场包含“希拉里我认识”的网站在内的网上和她亲自参加的竞选活动.
谁将赢得选民的青睐将在1月3日爱荷华州的竞选活动和1月8日新罕布什尔州的初选中见分晓。
为了能在起重要作用的爱荷华州紧张的三方参加的竞选活动中取得头酬，《第蒙记事报》称希拉里“已经做好迎接国家面临的巨大挑战的准备。”
在新罕布仕尔州影响广泛的《波士顿环球报》评价奥巴马说“他有使美国在国际上重塑形象的才能和在国内实现保持健康独立的现存制度”。这个新议员在爱荷华州的竞选中超过了希拉里，上周末还和欧普拉.温弗瑞发起了一场声势浩大的巡回竞选活动
与30多岁的人支持奥巴马和前北卡罗来那州的前议员约翰.爱德华兹相比，这个月在《今日美国》和盖洛普进行的民意调查结果却不尽如人意，希拉里的支持率只有50%。在最近的费尔研究中心民意调查中，希拉里在这三人中最不具亲和力。
为了解决这个问题，希拉里搬出了母亲和女儿来爱荷华州助阵，并出现在电视宣传片中。星期天，一个来自纽约州东诺斯波特名叫莎南.莫乐兹的选民，作为这项新竞选活动的一部分也在赶往那里路上.莫乐兹有一个6岁的女儿，患有一种无法治愈的脑积水的病。在她为去参加为期两天的竞选活动,等待飞往第蒙的航班时说,几年前，她曾用半个小时的时间,向希拉里讲述这种病并询问如何激励联邦政府的研究。
莫乐兹说：“她给我的感觉就象是两个母亲在车里谈话”，她后来和希拉里一起投入到抗击这种疾病的运动中,希拉里非常关心她女儿的健康。莫乐兹说有一次她也见识了希拉里的冷漠与无情，但是“她根本不是那种人”
希拉里的高级策划马克.潘说“重要的让人们更深的了解希拉里和她乐于助人的风格”才是活动宗旨
引用星期天《第蒙记事报》的评论说，希拉里说她将“勇往直前”。爱德华兹在2004年得到了该报的支持，在3个电视脱口秀节目中分析了他的不利因素，他说他很了解已经发生的一切”。星期天的《第蒙记事报》说“他强烈反对合作的言辞将使他很难获得与商业集团的合作会有所改善”
本周，爱德华兹在ABC上说：“他们的观点我不敢苟同”
《第蒙记事报》和《今日美国》都为盖纳特拥有。
奥巴马的竞选团队也广泛传播《环球报》的观点，《记事报》的编辑们也表达了他们谨慎的看法。一位编辑说这个选择就相当于富兰克林.D.罗斯福与约翰.F.肯尼迪对决.
还不清楚报纸的支持对选民有多大影响，然而，至少报纸给候选人报道了选举活动的动态,广告的吹捧的阵地，报纸的发行以及争取竞选资金。
原文:New Clinton campaign out to show her likability
New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, trying to warm up an image some voters perceive as cold, starts a drive Monday to showcase her personal side with testimonials from friends, associates and constituents she has helped.
The online and in-person campaign, complete with a website called TheHillaryIKnow.com, comes a day after Clinton won a key endorsement from The Des Moines Register and her chief rival in the Democratic nomination race, Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, was endorsed by The Boston Globe.
The rush of endorsements comes as candidates angle for advantage in Iowa's Jan. 3 caucuses and New Hampshire's Jan. 8 primary. Weighing in on Iowa's tight three-way Democratic battle for first place, the Register called Clinton "best prepared to confront the enormous challenges the nation faces."
The Globe, circulated widely in New Hampshire, said Obama has "the leadership skills to reset the country's reputation in the world" and "a healthy independence from the established order" at home. The freshman senator has surpassed Clinton in some Iowa polls and created buzz touring last weekend with Oprah Winfrey.
Clinton had an unfavorable rating of 50% in a USA TODAY/Gallup Poll this month, compared with mid-30s for Obama and former North Carolina senator John Edwards. She was rated least friendly of the three in a recent Pew Research Center poll.
Taking steps to fix the problem, Clinton has brought her mother and daughter to Iowa and featured them in TV ads. One of Clinton's constituents, Shannon Mallozzi of East Northport, N.Y., was on her way there Sunday as part of the new campaign. Mallozzi has a 6-year-old daughter with an incurable brain disease called hydrocephalus. As she waited to catch a plane to Des Moines for two days of campaigning, she said she spent a half-hour with Clinton several years ago to describe the disease and ask how to encourage federal research.
"She made me feel like it was just two mothers" talking in her car, Mallozzi said, then worked with her to get action on the disease and checked up on her daughter's health. Mallozzi said she once viewed Clinton as aloof and remote, but "she's anything but that."
Mark Penn, a top Clinton strategist, said that's the message: "It's important for people to understand the depth of Hillary, the way she has helped people."
Citing the Register endorsement, Clinton on Sunday said she's "picking up momentum." Edwards, who got the paper's endorsement in 2004, appeared on three TV talk shows to discuss a rejection he made clear he knew was coming. The Register said Sunday that "his harsh anti-corporate rhetoric would make it difficult to work with the business community to forge change."
"They have a position. I respectfully disagree with it," Edwards said on ABC's This Week. The Register and USA TODAY are owned by Gannett.
Obama's camp circulated the Globe endorsement and the Register editorial board's published account of its deliberations. One editor said the choice amounted to FDR vs. JFK.
It's unclear how much impact newspaper endorsements have on voters. At the very least, however, they offer candidates the appearance of momentum and something to brag about in ads, press releases and pitches for money.
