It’s a blowout.
If Hillary loses either Texas or Ohio she needs to drop out.

8:32 PM – Obama is on a roll. So far the debate has been a wonky debate about policy. Hillary as usual is doing well, but Barack is doing just as well, and is showing he can hang with Hillary when it comes to policy details.
Both of them are scoring huge points taking shots at Republicans, and Obama just had a zinger about John McCain’s flip-flop on Bush’s tax cuts.
Hillary’s advantage is experience, but just listening to the debate they both look like they have the knowledge and experience to do the job. This blunts her best argument.
8:40 PM – Obama hits it out of the park, saying immigrants should not be used as scapegoats for black unemployment. The crowd loved it and this will win him points with Latino voters.
9:10 PM – Hillary scores some good points ragging on Bush. The questions have drifted away from policy.
9:31 PM – Obama is crushing her on the issue of the Iraq War, and he’s also demostrating he will be able to handle McCain on this issue. Hillary’s statements defending her vote border on the ridiculous. Wolf Blitzer hammered her and called her naive.
9:48 PM – It ends with a love-fest. I think Barack won this one.
Lincoln Chafee, former Republican Senator from Rhode Island, discusses the vote t authorize the Iraq War in his new book:
“I find it surprising now, in 2008, how many Democrats are running for president after shirking their constitutional duty to check and balance this president,” writes Chafee…
“They argue that the president duped them into war, but getting duped does not exactly recommend their leadership. Helping a rogue president start an unnecessary war should be a career-ending lapse of judgment.”
Exactly. In my view Hillary’s war vote is a deal breaker. The fact that she stuck by that vote for years when it was obvious to everyone that the war was a tragic mistake only compounds her error.
I’m looking forward to seeing Chafee hit the talk shows and explain his disdain for Democrats who supported this war.
