Both the Democratic Party candidates once again locked horns with each
other. This time the battlefield was a telecast debate, their final
onscreen encounter before next week’s primaries in Ohio and Texas.
Clinton and Obama lashed out at each other, on topics such as negative
campaigning strategies, policies on health care, trade and foreign
policy, and the war in Iraq.
The candidates engaged fiercely in a verbal repartee accusing each
other of dirty tricks and negative campaigning over the past few weeks,
merely in the name of gaining an upper hand. Each candidate accused the
other of having spread misinformation about each others professed
policies. While Clinton highlighted the flyers that the Obama camp had
circulated regarding Clinton’s policies on North American Free Trade
Agreement and her health care plan, Obama brushed it aside saying that
his rival had been constantly indulging in negative attacks against his
campaign and he was not whining about it, as he understood the intent
of such moves.
Obama, however, sought to quell the recent uproar over a photo that had
been distributed over the internet. He said that he believed Clinton
when she said she had no idea where that photo had originated. The
greatest contrast between both candidates was seen on the issue of
foreign policy. Clinton once again harped on her prior qualifications
in the field as a former first lady and a New York Senator making her a
better choice to handle such affairs. Obama retorted that longevity in
Washington should not be confused with experience; he highlighted
Clinton’s vote in favor of authorizing the Iraq war in 2002, which was
a large-scale strategic blunder.
Both candidates are set to face off next in Texas and Ohio. The stakes
are high for Clinton who needs wins in both states to reduce the
growing gap between her and Obama. Initial polls seems to indicate that
Obama is leading in Texas and is expected to secure 50% of the votes
while Clinton trailed at 46% according to a CNN poll.
Hillary Clinton may be running out on the votes, but she still has a ready stock of excuses to explain everything. With quite a few losses and failures, Clinton has taken to blaming her losses on, of all the things, on the month being February.
