OK. She didn't hit him literally. Just with her words and rhetoric. Read below from The Associated Press:
Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton on Tuesday accused Barack Obama of "looking for a fight" in their rancorous debate and suggested her presidential rival acted out of frustration over primary campaign losses in New Hampshire and Nevada.
Obama argued that the Clintons - Hillary and Bill - have been distorting his record.
"When it comes to Senator Clinton's remarks, I think it's very clear that Senator Clinton has and President Clinton have been spending the last month attacking me in ways that are not accurate," Obama told reporters in a conference call.
Speaking to reporters in Washington, Clinton belittled Obama's various criticisms at the debate as "rehearsed points."
"I think what we saw last night was that he's very frustrated," she said. "I believe that the events of the last 10 or so days, the outcome of New Hampshire and Nevada, have apparently convinced him to adopt a different strategy. He clearly came - he telegraphed it, he talked about it - he clearly came last night looking for a fight. He was determined and launched right in."
The morning after the debate, the back-and-forth between the two leading Democrats continued unabated. The two had argued bitterly and in personal terms at Monday night's debate in Myrtle Beach, S.C., over issues such as the Iraq war and Bill Clinton's role in the campaign. The two also traded accusations over Hillary Clinton's work as a lawyer for anti-union Wal-Mart and Obama's relationship with a political patron facing fraud charges.
"He was determined and launched right in. And I thought it was important to set the record straight," Hillary Clinton said.
The New York senator was flying to California Tuesday to accept the backing of the United Farm Workers Union, a senior campaign official said on condition of anonymity because the endorsement had not yet been publicly announced.
Both Obama and Clinton know it's, "Game On." What will transpire in the next few weeks will be fascinating to watch. Who do you think benefits from this contentious back and forth?
