A fair fight

Democratic presidential candidates took agressive aim at their biggest obstacle: Hillary Clinton in a debate at Drexel University on Oct. 30

During a debate at Drexel University in Philadelphia, Democratic presidential candidates battling for the party's nomination took aggressive aim at their biggest obstacle: Sen. Hillary Clinton. The senator's opponents paid little attention to each other during the two-hour October debate, reserving most of their firepower for the woman with the double-digit lead.

The next morning the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees endorsed Clinton. "Some of you may have seen last night's debate," said Gerald McEntee, president of the government workers' union. "Six guys against Hillary. I'd call that a fair fight."

By late October, "six guys against Hillary" seemed an apt description of the Democratic contest. Polls showed Clinton grabbing her biggest lead of the year: 53-20 over Sen. Barack Obama. Former senator John Edwards trailed in third with 13 percent.
