Hillary Clinton's whole campaign and basis for staying in the race is that Barack Obama can not win against John McCain in November. So, the surprise moment of the night was when Hillary was asked if Barack could beat McCain and she said, "Yes, yes, yes." Not one yes, three yeses.
I missed the first hour of the debate due to Glee Club Practice, but I got the gist of the campaign. Debates are supposed to sit a situation on the table and the candidates go over what they would do in that situation. The way this debate went was tell Barack Obama all of the things that the Clinton campaign has said he did wrong and have him defend himself. And yet, all of the critics are saying that Barack came out better.
Barack made the "bitter" comment a week ago and he really has yet to receive a big fall out from it. He still has received Superdelegates support when she has not. His poll numbers are doing a lot better in Pennsylvania and way ahead of her in Indiana, North Carolina, and Nationally. All of Hillary's campaigning in Pennsylvania is based around that comment showing that she is running a negative campaign. And The Boss himself Bruce Springsteen has announced his support for Barack. Even if Barack loses in Pennsylvania, people will need to look at the margin of votes and then look at the margin a month ago. He was down by around thirty a month ago and has made up that gap. Without running a negative campaign and with all the controversy with the bitter comment and Rev. Wright.
