Hillary Clinton could be facing her campaign’s last gasp Wednesday night as she faces off against her Democratic rival in a marquee televised debate, as new polls and endorsements show more momentum swinging Barack Obama’s way.
The two candidates meet for 90 minutes six days before Pennsylvania voters head to the polls in this must-win state for Clinton.
But new polls cast serious doubt on Clinton’s ability to shore up the support she needs nationally to beat Obama, much less win a clear victory before the August Democratic National Convention.
A new Gallup Daily tracking poll of national Democratic voters shows Obama has posted his widest lead so far over Clinton in the poll. Obama claims 51 percent support to Clinton’s 40 percent in the April 12-14 poll.
A Washington Post/ABC News poll shows more Democrats are questioning Clinton’s trustworthiness — even after a steadfast push over the weekend to try to paint Obama as an elitist and out of touch with Americans. The poll said a majority of Americans now believe Clinton is dishonest. She trails Obama among Democrats by 23 points on the question of honesty. While 63 percent of Democrats believe she is honest, that is 18 percent less than in 2006.
An Los Angeles Times/Bloomberg News poll shows that while Clinton still leads Obama in Pennsylvania and Indiana, her lead is not sufficient to wrap up the nomination. The poll of likely Democratic voters gives Clinton a 46 percent to 41 percent edge in Pennsylvania, and a similar 40 percent to 35 percent lead for Obama in Indiana. In North Carolina, Obama has a larger, 13- point advantage.

What's up with that?
Pennsylvania - the Clintons end here. It will be nice.
That’s a great video.
Of course not! We all know it's coming, though.
Thanks for the info.
youre welcome
Heres hoping her claws and fangs come out tonight, just for the entertainment factor.
They will be having reruns of the Debate and live “analysis” of it all night. Don’t worry; you’ll have plenty of opportunities to see it. Check with C-Span and CNN for reruns. They always have some kind of agreement, with the hosting network, to air the debates later.
get the popcorn ready
She’s already said she’s going all the way to the convention, no matter what the Rat leadership commands her to do, so the reaction of the audience tonight if they get nasty with each other will be a (subdued) preview of Denver.

What cable outlet is broadcasting the debate and when (EDT)?
^ to #32
Who’s got the live thread, or is this it?
ABC is the only TV broadcast: 8 eastern, 7 central.
Yeah, and what's the 'secret word' for which we hoist our adult beverages? Just got back from the store...
ABC. I vaguely remember seeing that network when I was a kid. Oh well, ABC it is. Thanks.
Well, definitely not ‘you know’, nobody could survive that.
How bout ‘my opponent’?
