Las Vegas: Hillary Clinton fired up a crowd during her first major rally in months after a strong Democratic debate performance, vowing to back President Barack Obama’s immigration reform efforts. Clinton is the front-runner. Former Virginia senator Jim Webb was at 3%, and former governors Martin O’Malley of Maryland and Lincoln Chafee of Rhode Island were each at 1%.

“I would have you direct the question to her”, Obama said.
Did Obama watch the first Democratic debate? “And I was very impressed with all of them and I know them personally and they are good people”.
“I’m very proud to say, I’ve never run a negative political ad in my entire life, and I’ve been attacked a whole lot”, Sanders said, the New York Times reported. Because by voting for someone who shares your gender or race, you not only choose someone who shares your views to be in office but you also choose a part of yourself to be in office.
Hillary Clinton – the front-runner and former Secretary of State – debated mostly with the popular Bernie Sanders, a senator from Vermont. Facebook likes from the span of last night to this morning show Bernie is winning even more people over with his clear record and right to the point rhetoric.
“But a presidential candidacy is always a crapshoot, and Biden is in a far stronger position than he was in 1988 and 2008”, he said. Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta said in an interview on MSNBC it was time for Biden to announce his intentions. “I will keep taking on the NRA”.
More generally, the tone of the Democratic debate was different from its Republican counterparts, according to professors.
The debate covered a range of topics, including gun control, the American health care system, foreign policy issues and prevailing controversies. A 52% majority chose her, compared with 16% who cited Sanders and 14% Biden. “Let’s talk about the real issues facing America”, Sanders said, drawing more applause and more thanks from Clinton, with whom he exchanged a hearty hand clasp.
Clinton’s significant savings, however, will give her campaign a few breathing room as it heads into tough challenges in February in Iowa and New Hampshire, where Sanders has risen quickly in polls.

A Suffolk University/Boston Globe poll of likely New Hampshire Democratic primary voters revealed that the pair are in a deadlock: Clinton with 37 percent of the vote and Sanders with 35 percent (well within the +/-4.4 percentage point margin of error).
