Obama and Clinton fighting it out for Texas
February 29th, 2008
As CNN describes, Obama and Clinton are really going at it in the days before the Texan primary:
Sens. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama battled for votes over the airwaves and on the ground in Texas on Friday, just days before primaries that could prove decisive in the Democratic presidential race.
The Obama campaign, as well as former President Bill Clinton, say the New York Democrat must do well in Texas and Ohio on March 4 if she is to continue to battle for the Democratic nomination.
Voters in Vermont and Rhode Island will also head to the polls next Tuesday.
The Clinton campaign Friday launched a new television ad in Texas that portrays its candidate as the best-prepared to take on foreign crises.
In the ad, a phone rings insistently over images of sleeping children.
“Your vote will decide who answers the call,” the ad’s narrator says. “Whether it’s someone who already knows the world’s leaders, knows the military. Someone tested and ready to lead in a dangerous world.”
It’s already over for Hillary, whether or not she knows it yet.
