Today, as Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton face off for the Democratic presidential nomination, their common connection to [Saul D.] Alinsky is one of the striking aspects of their biographies. Obama embraced many of Alinsky's tactics and recently said his years as an organizer gave him the best education of his life. Clinton's interest was more intellectual -- she turned down the job offer -- and she has said little about Alinsky since their association became a favorite subject of conservative critics during her husband's presidency.
...Neither candidate would agree to be interviewed about Alinsky.
