What Strategy Helps In This Debate?

I turned to Democratic strategist Kelly Ferro for this question: What strategy do you expect from tonight’s debate? Should Hillary hit Obama hard? Should Obama come out with more specifics?

I know you all want to see some blood, but Fero expects a rather low-key evening for us:“Despite advice from many pundits that Sen. Clinton should attack Sen. Obama — after all, what does she have to lose? they ask — the best strategy for each candidate is to get through this without committing a major gaffe.  That’s the likeliest scenario for this debate: no real fireworks.”

They say the race in Texas is dead even. I’m wondering when was the last time a “hot” candidate lost his lead because of a debate? For some reason, my mind just keeps turning back to the Nixon-Kennedy debate and those awful sweating moments for Nixon under the studio lights. What a nightmare for his campaign.

I wonder, as the Clinton campaign has suggested, that superdelegates are going to rescue Texas for HRC?
