What to look for from Sen. Hillary Clinton tonight:
-- Expect her to point out that after 32 years of riding her husband’s coattails, she feels like America owes her a chance to run something by herself for a change. Maybe not in those words, though.
-- Expect her to point out how she’s ready to take on the Republicans in the fall, even though she hasn’t yet proven herself capable of taking on Obama yet.
-- Expect her to cite her colossal botching of health care reform in the 1990s as a reason to trust her on health care reform.
-- Expect her to use words to explain that words don’t matter, and talk about how Obama is all talk.
What to look for from Sen. Barack Obama tonight:
-- A well-tailored, single-breasted suit with either a red or blue tie
-- Charm coupled with easy-going confidence
-- Hope
-- Change
-- A statistic or hyperspecific detail about a policy initiative that will make at least one CNN analyst point out how he really dove into policy details tonight
