Democrats Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton clashed sharply in a high-stakes one-on-one debate on Tuesday, accusing each other of falsely portraying their stances on health care, trade and other issues. (Obama and Clinton clash in testy debate)

In a desperate move to salvage her campaign, Hillary--our very own Lady Macbeth--has unleashed what one campaign official called a "'kitchen sink" approach, hoping that something will stop the slide which now shows Obama ahead in Ohio and Texas in several polls.

As Dick Morris, former Bill Clinton campaign manager, puts it in discussing Hillary's pressure on Democrat Superdelegates and her wish to seat Florida delegates:

The Clintons' approach is driving voters into Obama's arms in droves. What better example of what he calls "old-style Washington politics" than the use of superdelegates to nullify the will of the voters?

National tracking polls show Obama gaining almost daily - and all now put him in the lead. That reflects popular anger at the Clintons' tactics. (Hillary on the Rocks)

Is Obama ready to lead a nation? I have doubts that any sane person could or would but his experience in surmounting the "Clinton Machine" gives him better credentials than Bill Clinton ever had or Hillary ever will.
