New York TimesIOWA CITY, Nov. 4 — As Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton collected the endorsement today from former Vice President Walter Mondale, one of her Democratic rivals intensified his criticism of her candidacy, saying she had not been forthcoming with voters who will open the nominating contest here in less than two months.
The rival, former Senator John Edwards, said he would draw new distinctions with Mrs. Clinton in a speech here on Monday, raising questions with other Democrats over Iraq and Iran.
“Senator Clinton is voting like a hawk in Washington, while talking like a dove in Iowa and New Hampshire,” Mr. Edwards plans to say, according to excerpts of a speech provided by his campaign. “We only need one mode from our president: tell-the-truth mode all the time.”
Mr. Edwards, of North Carolina, and Mrs. Clinton, of New York, campaigned across eastern Iowa on Sunday, exactly one year before Election Day 2008. At each of his stops, Mr. Edwards focused his attention on Mrs. Clinton and in the speech here on Monday he said he would outline a plan for Iran and call on her to present a specific plan for how she would end the war, including how many troops would remain in Iraq.
