It seems as if Clinton is panicking. A 16 minute starting debate about healthcare differences showed how on-edge she is. Each debated heartily about how their plans were superior. Obama, says his will not force people to purchase the insurance whereas Clinton’s plan makes every citizen take part. Clinton raised a point that though Obama says he doesn’t force people into the plans, he does make it madatory for children to be under them. Clinton said, in Obama’s plan people would not purchase healthcare and then be forced to when they end up in the emergency room, or else everyone would be paying for those not covered.

After healthcare, questions about NAFTA negotiations were targeted to Clinton who made it clear that she would not cut off  NAFTA unless re-negotiations were not made.

After this, issues about the events in Pakistan were brought before the two Democratic debaters. Obama defended his stance on voting to take action. Later, in response when asked about being able to hold his own against McCain when the time came, he hinted that he would stand a better chance as from the begining his views have been very different and that they didn’t just change after he began his campaign to become the next president.

As for the panicking, Clinton seems to be snapping at the hosts and cutting off her opponent while continuing to talk after her time is up. She took a jab at Obama, mentioning pamphlets that his campaign had distributed around Ohio and cracked a joke about him on Saturday Night Live, not receiving laughs, but rather sounds of dissapointment. She should be careful. She needs all the good associations she can get before the Texas and Ohio primaries on Tuesday.

Stay tuned, the debate continues…
