Obama vs. Clinton in Cleveland

In a nutshell:

Game. Set. Match.

Hillary came across incredibly shrill. Can't say I really blame her. She needed to go all out, but it just didn't work. Her whining about always being asked the questions first was just pathetic.

Obama, by contrast, came across as cool and calm. His interchange with Hillary over "renounce" vs. "reject" was impressive. He's real quick on his feet to say the least.

She needed a win. Unfortunately for her, I think she actually did more damage. However....

I'm not the audience they were playing to. Her aggressive tone could have helped her with Democrats wondering if she was still in it to win it. Plus the mentions of Farrakhan and Obama together might put subtle doubts in some voters heads. Even if Obama did play it masterfully.
