In the debate between Democratic presidential hopefuls sponsored by CNN and Congressional Black Caucus Institute, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and John Edwards squared off. After many harsh verbal confrontations, there was no immediate clear cut winner.
The debate, which was shown live on CNN, at times turned into a one-on-one argument between Clinton and Obama. Each candidate slung accusations at the other during the duration of the debate.
Obama was outwardly perturbed by what he says are untruths told by former President Bill Clinton, Hillary’s husband.
“There was a set of assertions made by Senator Clinton as well as her husband that are not factually accurate,” Obama said. “I think that part of what people are looking for right now is someone who is going to solve problems and not resort to the same typical politics that we’ve seen in Washington.”
Clinton, meanwhile, accused Obama of never taking a firm stance.
“Senator Obama, it’s hard to have a straight up debate with you because you never take responsibility for any vote,” said Clinton.
Edwards spent much of the debate trying to get a word in.
Said Edwards: “Are there three people in this debate, not two?”
The biggest upcoming date for the presidential hopefuls will be Feb. 5. That will be Super Tuesday when 24 states are scheduled to hold primary elections for one or both parties.
