Okay, all jokes aside. I watched the debate last night and while I believe Senator Barack Obama held his own, Senator Hillary Clinton came out the clear winner of last night’s debate.
As expected, the two presidential candidates sparred on the issue of health care with Clinton accusing Obama of leaving 15 million U.S. residents uncovered with his plan. While Obama pointed out that Clinton had her chance to reform health care while she ran the White House as her husband’s unofficial vice president.
Clinton’s plagiarism jab at Obama, “change you can Xerox” – drew loud boos, but Obama’s response drew the loudest cheers of the night: “What we shouldn’t be spending time doing is tearing each other down. We should be spending time lifting the country up,” he said.
Obama has won 11 straight primaries and caucuses, and he also picked up 2 big union endorsements this week. One thing is for sure, the good ol’ boy network does not want another Clinton in the White House, and Obama certainly seems like the safer choice for democratic nomination.
Meanwhile, also on the political front, Republican presidential candidate John McCain emphatically denied a New York Times report that he is bedding a female telecommunications lobbyist. “I’m very disappointed in the article. It’s not true,” McCain said as his wife, Cindy, stood glaring at him during a news conference.
