I'm sure, many of you were wondering, as I did, what kind of debate we would have tonight. Will it be the fiery one like we saw in South Carolina, or will it be the polite "conversation" we saw in California.
Frankly, I was expecting some fireworks. This is after all Clinton's last stand. If she loses either Texas OR Ohio, she is done. I mean done as in stick a fork in her!
So I was surprised that Clinton was actually polite except for that pathetic bit about the "xeroxed" lines again. The audience certainly let her know what they thought about that desperate act...with a loud series of boos!
Essentially what we got tonight was more like the California debate with bits of the South Carolina one thrown in to make it a bit exciting.
After the debate was over, the consensus seemed to be that it was a tie. I agree with that. But see...that is GOOD NEWS for Barack Obama. The Clinton campaign's plan was to trip up Obama or hope that he stumbles. That didn't happen. Clinton did get a standing ovation at the end, but really that's not gonna matter much. The debate was still a tie. And the latest polls show the Texas race to be very tight. Basically what this means is, even if Clinton wins, it will be with a very narrow margin...not enough to close the delegate lead that Obama has over her. Her campaign will still be alive, but just barely...like a person in a hospital bed on life support. Obama, on the other hand DOES NOT need to win either Texas or Ohio. He just needs to make a good showing to get enough delegates out of them. He can scoop up the other states after these March 4 primaries.
However, I have a feeling that Texas is it. People will look back on March 4 as the beginning of the new dawn for America. Because I believe that Obama will win Texas (barely maybe), and that this will be the final knock out blow for Clinton. He's already won 11 in a row. And a 12th straight win will be the knock out blow. Even Bill Clinton knows this, and has said so in public.
So here's the message to Hillary: Kiss Your White A** Goodbye!
Vote OBAMA 2008!
BARACK OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT!
A VOTE FOR MCCAIN IS 4 MORE YEARS OF BUSH!
