The debate is over

Clinton failed to draw Obama into any substantial error, and her attacks on him drew little applause. Her line about the alleged "plagiarism"-"That's not change you can believe in, that's change you xerox," was lightly booed. Clinton's strength was the detail of her policy proposals.

Obama looked a bit fidgety at first, but settled in later and spoke as he does on the campaign trail with measured cadences. His best line- "The notion that my campaign is just words somehow suggests that the 19-20 million people who support me...and all of the major papers here in Texas...are somehow delusional."

I don't think this nights exchange will push many people in a new direction, and that should score as a win for Obama. Surprisingly, Clinton stuck with essentially the same tactics and topics that have been producing insufficient results so far. I am pretty surprised at that. Perhaps Obama is so likeable that he is not assailable, while there are plenty of people who dislike Clinton, saving Obama from conducting the attacks himself.

Advantage Obama.
