Don't miss the make or break moment for this cycle. It seems like its been going on forever, but it will soon be over for another 4 years dontcha think ? Fatigue or resolve, capitulation and inner awareness, or backbone and inspiration, it could be a barn burner. Barack may be beyond beating, but the Clintons never give.

MSNBC will telecast a debate between Democratic presidential candidates Sen. Hillary Clinton and Sen. Barack Obama Tuesday, Feb. 26, live from Cleveland State University in Cleveland, Ohio, 9-10:30 p.m. ET. NBC's Brian Williams will moderate and be joined by "Meet the Press" moderator and NBC News Washington Bureau Chief Tim Russert. It will be streamed live on msnbc.com.

"A lot of her friends are just feeling, 'How could this be happening to her?' " said James Carville, a friend of the Clintons and a former strategist to Mr. Clinton. "It's just hard to understand. She is a very sympathetic person. I hope it turns around for her."

Frank Rich: The Audacity of Hopelessness
The Clinton camp was certain that its moneyed arsenal of political shock-and-awe would take out Barack Hussein Obama in a flash. The race would "be over by Feb. 5," Mrs. Clinton assured George Stephanopoulos just before New Year's. But once the Obama forces outwitted her, leaving her mission unaccomplished on Super Tuesday, there was no contingency plan. She had neither the boots on the ground nor the money to recoup.

Where's Rumsfeld when you need him ? We don't need no stinking contingency plans....

"But it's the Clinton strategists, not the Obama voters, who drank the Kool-Aid. The Obama campaign is not a vaporous cult; it's a lean and mean political machine that gets the job done. The Clinton camp has been the slacker in this race, more words than action, and its candidate's message, for all its purported high-mindedness, was and is self-immolating."
