CLINTON-OBAMA BATTLE GETS ROUGHER

I was just reading how White House contenders Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama Monday hurled barbs over foreign policy and fought over an alleged anti-Obama smear, heading into do-or-die contests for the former first lady.

A day before a crucial debate in Ohio, Clinton used a speech here to portray her Democratic rival as a risky choice on foreign affairs, implying Obama would need a beginners' guide to the world's hot-spots if elected president. Before the speech, an Obama aide had already said sound judgment was the most important presidential attribute, highlighting Clinton's Senate vote in 2002 to authorize the Iraq war.

The policy sparring came as a photograph emerged of Obama in African dress, at the start of the candidates' final week of campaigning before primaries in Ohio and Texas on March 4 that are must-win nominating contests for Clinton.

So tomorrow is the Big day for both Clinton and Obama, though for Hillary it is All important that she win, and win big!! It shall be an exciting Tuesday!!
