Politico-In the last scheduled debate of the Democratic primary season, an event that didn’t appear to change the direction of the hard fought race, Senator Hillary Clinton let loose her disdain for Senator Barack Obama’s record and her frustration at the media’s coverage of the presidential contest.
Obama, in response, accused her of whining about losing political battles, and countered her attacks with mockery.
The candidates’ words were as telling as their faces. Clinton’s jaw set as it became clear that the moderators, NBC’s Tim Russert and Brian Williams, would focus this debate on her, and not her front-running rival. Obama, meanwhile, grimaced in silence when Clinton tried to turn her answers into attacks on him.
“We should have a good debate that uses accurate information, not false, misleading and discredited information, especially on something as important as whether or not we will achieve quality, affordable health care for everyone,” Clinton said.
Obama responded that Clinton, too, has been on the offensive.
“Senator Clinton has … constantly sent out negative attacks on us, e-mail, robo-calls, flyers, television ads, radio calls, and we haven’t whined about it because I understand that’s the nature of these campaigns,” he said.
THEHILL-and Barack Obama (D-Ill.) maintained a steady tone of civility throughout their last debate Tuesday night before next week’s critical contests in Texas and Ohio. Neither candidate appeared to score huge political blows, which works to the frontrunner Obama’s political advantage.
Both candidates jumped out of the gate criticizing one another for their campaign tactics, with Clinton taking exception to Obama’s mailers and phone calls attacking the former first lady’s stance on North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).
Hillary opened up to her powerful inner bitch as predicted, yet still failed to land a blow against B. Hussein Obama.
It is clear now that one of two things is going to happen in the dem contest:
1. Brokered convention with a floor fight over super delegates and those not seated from Florida and Michigan. This would splinter the progressive party beyond repair, or;
2. Hillary concedes defeat at the behest of party leaders thus allowing B. Hussein Obama to go forward against McCain with a ‘united’ party.
Any bets on Hillary backing down from her life long quest to become HBIC of America?
“When Nafta took effect on Jan. 1, 1994, Ohio had 990,000 manufacturing jobs. Two years later, it had 1.03 million. The number remained above one million for the rest of the 1990s, before plummeting in this decade to just 775,000 today. It’s hard to look at this history and conclude Nafta is the villain. In fact, Nafta did little to reduce tariffs on Mexican manufacturers, notes Matthew Slaughter, a Dartmouth economist. Those tariffs were already low before the agreement was signed.
Hillary will bow to the will of the party because she can then remain a power player in the Senate. They are ALL CONTROLLED by the party machines and if you want power among the elites you do what you are told to do. She was given her shot, she will back down. Bets anyone?
I think you can bet on Hillary doing whatever it takes to grab more power. If that means that she has to eat humble pie now then she will. Somehow, though, I don’t see her taking the backseat anymore.

I think Hillary like power more than issues! I do not see her backing down.
I agree with John. Hillary will order that the crew go down with the sinking ship.

Aubrey,
If she can’t have the top spot she will seek the power she can get in the senate. My guess.
