A Democratic donnybrook

The debate was rich in sound and fury, but did little lasting damage to unruffled frontrunner Barack Obama.

    @juste milieu

    Please read my post below about Obama before you jump on the Clinton bandwagon. Clinton stood on her record, yet she didn't specify which record...the record for welfare reform? She can't affect change only by being a woman nor by bragging about her resume. Where does she show that she used her leadership skills to accomplish something with bipartisan support in Washington? I'm sure that there are examples, but I'm I can think of one out of hand. She seems more like an establishment candidate who is having a hard time connecting to ordinary voters, and I don't say this for reasons of sexism, any more than those attacking Obama necessarily do it out of racism.
