Interested parties can tune into <strong>CNN at 8 PM ET (7PM if you live in TX)</strong> to watch it live!</p><p>Here&#8217;s what the <a href="http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/metropolitan/5557947.html" target="_blank">Houston Chronicle</a> says about tonight&#8217;s debate:</p><blockquote><p>WASHINGTON — Hillary Rodham Clinton, reeling from 10 consecutive defeats and slipping further behind Barack Obama in the delegate count, needs to do something to reverse the front-runner&#8217;s momentum. Her campaign strategists think they have just the solution: tonight&#8217;s debate in Austin.</p><p>With less than two weeks before pivotal primaries in Texas and Ohio, Clinton campaign officials are counting on landing a memorable zinger or forcing an Obama gaffe that could change the dynamic of the presidential race.</p><p>&#8220;Debates can turn elections,&#8221; said Ross Ramsey, editor of Texas Weekly, a nonpartisan political journal. &#8220;A front-runner who stumbles can be overtaken, and a candidate who&#8217;s trying to catch up — or keep up — can regain ground. A big moment by either candidate will get played over and over until everybody knows about it.&#8221;</p><p>Tonight&#8217;s nationally televised session at the University of Texas is the only face-to-face encounter between Clinton and Obama before Texans go to the polls on March 4. The former first lady, a skilled debater dating to her time as captain of the Wellesley College debate team, has proposed weekly debates.
