Grammys: Burning questions

Obama vs. Clinton

Heading into the 2008 Grammy Awards, Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton are in a dead heat: both are tied with one Grammy win apiece.

Clinton won for best spoken word album in 1996 for “It Takes A Village,” and Obama won in the same category in 2005 for “Dreams From My Father.” Obama has a chance to pull ahead on Feb. 10, thanks to his spoken word nod for “The Audacity Of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream.”

And Clinton? Not nominated. But her husband is, and his “Giving: How Each of Us Can Change the World,” can stop Obama from taking a 2-1 lead in the closely-watched political Grammy race.
