Hillary v. Obama Debate in Texas

The Democratic presidential debate in Texas is on.

This is the first debate between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama since their love-fest in Hollywood on Jan. 31.

Campbell Brown is moderating the debate! An actual woman. Wow. What a long overdue but historic move on the part of CNN. The worse MSNBC gets, the more CNN strives to prove that it is far superior to the Misogyny Channel.

As the underdog, some pundits say Senator Clinton needs to be aggressive, but that's always a tricky proposition for a woman. As we've seen in the past, when Obama attacks, the pundits pile on the praise. When Hillary attacks, the pundits cry foul, no fair, she's playing dirty.
