The Democratic debate on CNN pits Hillary Rodham Clinton against Barack Obama, "the hottest ticket on Hollywood Boulevard," as ABC's David Wright (embargoed link) put it. "Sparks are expected to fly." CBS' Dean Reynolds assessed the horse race: "Obama may be behind in the polls but the numbers show him surging now. He continues to draw enormous and enormously enthusiastic crowds everywhere." This month alone Obama signed up 170,000 fresh donors and raised $32m, as much money as in any previous quarter. NBC's John Yang gave us a quick Super Tuesday primer, noting that the Democrats are more likely to have a split decision, since party rules assign delegates proportionately instead of awarding a state's entire delegation to its winner, as Republicans do in nine of Tuesday's contests. ABC's George Stephanopoulos gave us three states to watch as indicators as to whether Rodham Clinton is keeping her lead or whether Obama is maintaining his momentum--Missouri, Massachusetts, California.
