Earlier this week, Barak Obama engaged in his last presidential debate before the primary elections in Ohio and Texas on March 4, 2008. I watched the debate with interest, not only because I am from Ohio, but I am also watching history unfold before my eyes. Did Barak do well enough in the debate to possibly allow him to get enough votes to overtake Hillary?
Barak is much more polished as a campaign speaker. He tends to be slower and more hesitant with his words in a debate setting. His message, however, stays on track and he is very calm in his demeanor. In contract, Hillary was getting somewhat emotional at times. This is not a bad thing. It shows the contrast between the two debaters, and Barak appear to be the one who would be more calm and collected under stress.
According to the latest polls, the two candidates are in a tie in Texas and Hillary holds a small lead over Barak in Ohio. We will see how well each candidate does, and whether the televised debate might have had any influence.

This year's democratic race is extremely interesting. With each debate that goes on people change who they. I believe it will continue to be a close race and even though Ohioans vote Tuesday, I still am undecided. Great job and thanks for bringing it to my attention right before voting time.
