Dem Debaters Get Feisty

Policy talk devolves into bickering between Clinton, Obama

(NEWSER) - Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama drowned out policy talk in a South Carolina presidential debate tonight as they bickered over Ronald Reagan and what Obama called Clinton's "corporate" past, CNN reports.
