And the gloves come off

Everyone has been talking about Hillary vs. Obama. I feel as though we have all been waiting for the niceties to stop and for the candidates to show their true selves. The real test, however, will be tonight when the two Democratic candidates for President have their final debate. After watching the two battle it out for the past few days, I think people are looking forward to this debate more than any of the previous ones. Will Hillary continue with the motherly rebukes and see if she can shame Obama into losing his cool, or will she be able to control her emotions and act like a Presidential candidate. I heard that Hillary was handed the NAFTA fliers just as she walked into that press conference where she said, "Shame on you," but for someone to respond with that kind of anger shows a lack of maturity and a loss of self-control. She has been in politics for decades, and when the going gets tough.. It's starting to look as though the "tough" start to bend under the pressure. Not only does it reflect badly on the Hillary campaign, but it shows that the tone of her message is still undecided. One would think that after running for President for over two years now, Hillary would have every part of her campaign planned down to a 't' but no. Surprises happen. You can't blame someone for not being ready, but you can blame them for handling it without a touch of control and class. Let the games begin!
