AUSTIN, Texas -- Democratic presidential candidates Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton square off tonight in another debate. It's being held in a gym at the University of Texas at Austin. Both candidates have been crisscrossing the state in advance of the March 4th, delegate-rich Texas primary. Obama leads in the overall hunt for delegates to next summer's nominating convention. He's won the last 11 state contests in a row. The Associated Press delegate count shows Obama in front with 1,351 delegates to Clinton's 1,262. It takes 2,025 delegates to win the Democratic nomination.
