What next? The two candidates disagree about future debates. CBS' Dean Reynolds pointed out that of the 18 Democratic debates so far, only one has been one-on-one. Rodham Clinton wants four more; Obama committed to only one, arguing that "debates soak up vital time he could be spending on the ground getting to know people." Obama's fundraising was superior to Rodham Clinton's in January ($32m v $13m). ABC's Kate Snow (embargoed link) reported that she dipped into the $35m fortune that the former First Couple has accumulated since they left the White House, lending $5m to her campaign while "senior staff have volunteered to go without pay."
"The calendar works much better, especially in February, for Obama," stated ABC's George Stephanopoulos, with upcoming contests either in a caucus format (Neb, Wa, Me) or in primary states with sizable African-American populations (La, Va, DC, Md), both of which have favored him so far. By the end of that series, including committed superdelegates, NBC's Tim Russert predicted that the two candidates will have 1347 and 1348 delegates each. That would mean that Wisconsin, Texas, Ohio and Pennsylvania would be decisive, mused NBC's Andrea Mitchell: "Then she could regain the edge."
