Obama fans are heavily disappointed that Obama wasnt offered a pillow
PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania (CNN) -- In their last face-to-face meeting before a crucial primary showdown in Pennsylvania, Democrats Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama went back and forth over recent campaign-trail controversies before staking out differences on taxes and the economy.
Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama face off Wednesday in their final meet-up before the Pennsylvania primary.
In the end, both conceded their opponent is capable of defeating Republican John McCain for the presidency in November while maintaining they would have the best chance of the two.
"Yes. Yes. Yes," Clinton said when pressed to answer whether Obama, the senator from Illinois, could win. Media reports have said Clinton and her campaign have been quietly courting support, chiefly from Democratic superdelegates who could decide a close race at the party's convention, by arguing that Obama is not electable.
"Now, I think I can do a better job -- obviously that's why I'm here," said Clinton, who promised she will "do everything I possibly can to make sure that one of us takes the oath of office next January."
Obama said Clinton could win, too. He also said he would support the New York senator and former first lady if she is the Democratic nominee, although both candidates declined to say whether they would consider naming the other as a running mate.
"One thing I'm absolutely certain of is, come August when we're in Denver, the Democratic Party will come together," he said.

Clinton/Obama wie ein Ei
Die Senatoren vermieden verletzende oder aggressive Töne. Beide bedauerten "Fehler" und "missverständliche Formulierungen" im Wahlkampf. Sie legten ein klares Bekenntnis zur Sicherheit Israels ab und würden auch nicht "auf einen massiven Vergeltungsschlag der USA" verzichten, sollte der Iran Israel angreifen. Als Präsident würden sie umgehend die US-Truppen aus dem Irak abziehen.
the senators avoided injurin or aggressive tones. both regretted "failures" and misunderstandable utters" in election campaign. they gave clear nod to the security of israel and they stressed theyd retaliate if Iran attacked israel. Both would pull back troops from Iraq.
