MANCHESTER, N.H.--About 45 minutes into last night's Democratic presidential candidates' debate, Sen. Hillary Clinton, standing between her two top rivals, leaned back, smiled, and watched as they duked it out over healthcare proposals.
The back and forth between Sen. Barack Obama and former Sen. John Edwards at center stage on the campus of St. Anselm College wasn't the most riveting exchange in an evening dominated by discussion of the Iraq war, but politically the moment was perhaps the most telling.
As Clinton's lead in national presidential preference polls of Democratic voters continues to widen, Obama and Edwards have sharpened their rhetoric, while the Clinton campaign strategy to keep her above the fray as the presumptive nominee played out almost seamlessly last night. (Clinton insisted that the differences among Democrats are minor, that it's only with the Republicans that disagreements run deep.)
---Did anyone catch any of the debate last night?---
