Sen. Clinton just made the major move to ignore the question about whether Sen. Obama is ready to be commander-in-chief, and answer her own question on health care.

Mrs. Clinton criticized Mr. Obama's plan, saying it leaves out 15 million people, which we have heard dozens of times by now, and said that difference if too important not to bring up.

Now both candidates are taking over the debate.

Mr. Obama answered that her mandate plan is failing in Massachusetts, where 20 percent of people who can't afford it have been exempted and even more are being fined, yet still have no health care.

That was a pretty good prepared response.
