Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama took off the gloves at the Democratic debate in South Carolina yesterday, exchanging accusations and insults. This exchange comes after party elders reportedly urged former President Clinton to tone down his criticisms of Mr. Obama. South Carolina is a major test for Obama, and a loss there, while not necessarily fatal, will hurt severely. With both sides sensing the critical nature of this contest get ready for some heavy artillery to be launched in the next couple of days.
