As a man walks westbound on Jayhawk Boulevard Tuesday evening, winter weather grips the air. Cold winds and chilling temperatures have been nipping at the noses of students and faculty members this week, but this weekend could bring hope for nicer weather. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Saturday's temperature will reach 60 degrees with sunny skies.
DEBATE Clinton, Obama highlight differences
DEBATE
CLEVELAND — Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama clashed over NAFTA, health care and the war in Iraq Tuesday night in a crackling debate at close quarters one week before a pivotal group of primaries.
Charges of negative campaign tactics were high on the program, too.
Responding quickly, Obama countered that former first lady had consistently claimed his plan "would leave 15 million people out ... I dispute that. I think it is inaccurate," he said.
"Senator Obama has consistently said I would force people to have health care whether they can afford it or not," said Clinton, insisting it was not true
Clinton also said as far as she knew her campaign had nothing to do with circulating a photograph of Obama wearing a white turban and a wrap-around white robe presented to him by elders in Wajir, in Kenya.
The two rivals, the only survivors of a grueling primary season, sat about a foot apart at a table on stage at Cleveland State University.
"I take Senator Clinton at her word that she knew nothing about the photo," Obama said.
The race was far different in April 2007, Clinton the front-runner by far. Now Obama holds that place, in terms of both contests and delegates won.
The two rivals also debated NAFTA, the free trade agreement with Canada and Mexico that is wildly unpopular with blue-collar workers whose votes are critical in any Democratic primary in Ohio.
Neither one said he or she was ready to withdraw from the agreement, although both said they would use the threat of withdrawal to pressure Mexico to make changes.
On the war, both candidates denounced President Bush's record on Iraq, then restated long-held disagreements over which of them was more opposed.
