Clinton, Obama agree on changing trade pact
Could I just point out that, in the last several debates, I seem to get the first question all the time?" Clinton said. "And I don't mind. You know, I'll be happy to field them, but I do find it curious. And if anybody saw 'Saturday Night Live', you know, maybe we should ask Barack if he's comfortable and needs another pillow.
"I just find it kind of curious that I keep getting the first question on all of these issues, but I'm happy to answer it."
Later, she returned to the historic nature of her candidacy: "Obviously I am thrilled to be running to be the first woman president, which I think would be a sea change in our country and around the world, and would give . . . enormous hope and, you know, a real challenge to the way things have been done, and who gets to do them, and what the rules are."
Obama came into the debate needing to not make an error that could reinvigorate Clinton's campaign.
Meaford churches entered
The rash of church break-ins in the area continues. Break-ins at three Meaford churches, all within close proximity to each other, were discovered Sunday morning. Thieves took an undisclosed amount of petty cash from two of the three churches. Doors at two of the churches were found pried open, while a third church likely had an unlocked door, Grey County OPP media relations officer Const. Steve Starr said in a news release. The Bethany Church of Nazarene at 34 Trowbridge St. W., First Baptist Church at 35 Trowbridge St. W., and the St. Vincent Roman Catholic Church at the corner of Cook and Collingwood streets were each hit.

Clinton, Obama Clash In Ohio Debate
In their final debate before critical primaries in Ohio and Texas, Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton clashed sharply on familiar ground, arguing Tuesday night over who has the better health-care plan, who has been right about Iraqand who would move most aggressively to rethink trade policy as president. In contrast to their debate five days ago in Texas, Clinton and Obama butted heads from the opening moments, starting with a clash over whether the senator from Illinois had mischaracterized her plan for universal health care in his campaign mailings, and continuing throughout the 90-minute session. "We should have a good debate that uses accurate information, not false, misleading and discredited information, especially on something as important as whether or not we will achieve quality, affordable health care for everyone," said Clinton (New York).
