Sen. Hillary Clinton on Tuesday said Sen. Barack Obama had become frustrated by his losses in New Hampshire and Nevada, and she also accused her opponent of not backing up his words with action.
Obama responded quickly, saying Clinton was willing to "fudge the truth" in her quest for the Democratic presidential nomination.
The bitter exchange continued the sharp confrontations from Monday night's Democratic debate in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
The sniping came four days before Saturday's Democratic primary in South Carolina.
This first Democratic primary in the South is crucial. It's the candidates' last contest before the Super Tuesday primaries February 5 in which voters cast ballots in 24 states.
"Sen. Obama is very frustrated," Clinton told reporters in Washington. "The events of the last 10 or so days, particularly the outcomes of New Hampshire and Nevada, have apparently convinced him to adopt a different strategy.
"He came last night looking for a fight, and he was determined and launched right in, and I thought it was important to set the record straight."
The rest is here.
