Democratic Presidential Candidates Debate inTexas(3/3)
Asked about her criticism of the U.S. military surge in Iraq, Clinton said achieving progress by adding more U.S. troops is not the result the United States should be seeking.
One of the best moments for both candidates came at the end when they were asked to describe a crisis they had faced. Obama spoke of being raised by a single mother and overcoming challenges as a youth. Clinton said the crises she has faced are well known, but that these were nothing compared to the difficulties faced by soldiers who have been maimed in combat overseas and the problems faced by workers, homeowners and people in need of health insurance.
Clinton once held a large lead here in Texas and in Ohio, the other large state which holds its primary on March 4, but Obama has won the last 10 contests in a row and has now pulled even with her in the polls. Analysts agree that Clinton needs wins in both states in order to remain viable, whereas Obama only needs to maintain his momentum to stay in the lead.

当被问及她对美国在伊拉克增兵的评论时，希拉里·克林顿说通过增兵来取得进展并不是美国想要获得的结果。
对于两位候选人而言，他们表现最好的时刻是在最后，当被要求描述自己所面临的一个危机时。AO巴马提到了由单亲母亲抚养以及自己年轻时如何克服所面临挑战的经历。希拉里说她说面临的'危机是众所周知的，但这与那些在海外作战而致残的战士以及工人、私房屋主和那些急需医疗保险的人所面临的困难相比，这算不上什么。
希拉里·克林顿曾在得克萨斯和俄亥俄州处于极大的领先地位，俄亥俄州是另一个较大的州，其将在3月4日进行党内初选。但是AO巴马在近10次竞选中连续获胜，而且在民意调查中，他的支持率已经和克林顿持平。分析家认为克林顿如果仍想继续竞选，必须同时在两州（德州和俄亥俄州）获胜，而AO巴马只需要保持他的势头即可保持领先。
