I have always heard that the best defense is a good offense. Is that what Hillary Clinton was doing last night during the debate? She said that Mr.Obama doesn't have the "experience" to take on a seasoned republican candidate like John McCain. She attacked his campaign mailings to voters which questioned her support of her husband's programs like Nafta as "misleading" and then she pulled an odd rabbit out of her hat... she asked him to denounce Minister Louis Farrakhan of the Nation of Islam, who has announced his endorsement of Barack Obama. That is what players call the "head shot", the "kill shot"... and she missed.
From what I hear, Mr. Obama ducked and dodged her attacks and weathered the storm like Muhammad Ali (in his prime) dodging Sonny Liston. Hillary did not produce the ground breaking effect she was hoping for... a surge that she needs. You see, the slight lead she holds in Ohio is slipping. She was ahead by 17 points about two weeks ago and now she leads by only 4 points. I'm not aware of how things look in Texas but, Hillary clearly needs to do something to gain momentum if she hopes to get the nomination and that hope appears to be getting slimmer as the days go by.

Just an observation.
