Reminder: Democratic Debate Tonight

There is a debate tonight in Texas between Sens. Obama and Clinton. It will be broadcast on CNN, starting at 8pm EST. There'll also be another debate on Tuesday night, from Ohio this time, broadcast on NBC stations.

Sen. Clinton sees these debates as her last big chance to take down Obama (who just scored his 11th straight victory, by winning the Democrats Abroad primary). This assumes that Obama is a bad debater, which I have never seen as the case, though admittedly I may not be the most impartial observer there. Clinton is facing a tough road ahead, needing landslide victories in both those states to stay in the race. Now maybe that is possible, but I'm not sure she'll get the ammo necessary to do that out of this debate.

What is clear, however, is that she is ready to do whatever it takes to win. She has set up a website offering 'Facts and Myths about the Race for Delegates in the Democratic Nomination', though uninformed readers won't know it's a Hillary shill site unless they read the fine print at the bottom. The whole site is basically making the case to get the party to change the nomination rules at the 11th hour. For instance, it insists that the Florida and Michigan delegates be seated to 'honor the spirit of the Democrats' 50-state strategy'. Yes, that's Hillary 'all your states suck' Clinton... invoking the 50-state strategy. These people absolutely have no shame.

The message here is clear... you'll have to pull the nomination from her cold, dead hands.
