翻译
在爱荷华州政党会议前的最后几周时间里，总统竞选人使出浑身解数获得选票。伊利诺伊州的民主党议员奥巴马在爱荷华州、NH和南C获得了大量支持，这部分归功于知名电视访谈节目主持人OW。“我像从前一样不喜欢政治，所以你们很多年来没见过几个政治家参加我的节目，因为我只有1个小时时间。”奥巴马与纽约议员希拉里克林顿在爱荷华州展开了激烈的角逐。克林顿在全国民调中领先其他民主党参选者，但最近几周她势不可挡的优势在爱荷华和NH都有所下滑。在NH将于1月8日进行首次总统投票，即爱荷华会议后5天。克林顿也得到了名人帮助，特别是她的丈夫，至今在民主党内知名的前总统比尔克林顿。但希拉里说最终决定竞选人的是投票人，而不是支持他们的名人。

总结
还成，个别词没听出来。刚看了牛人博客，怎么就纠结的大意都听不出来了……
