The Debate so far: Rocky Balboa vs. Apollo Creed

Moderator Brian Williams wasted no time in addressing one of the debate's hot topics.

Within 30 seconds, Barack Obama was comparing his and Hillary Clinton's campaigns to a battle between Rocky Balboa and Apollo Creed.

So far, the focus of the debate has been Senator Clinton vs. The Others. Topics have included the continued war in Iraq and the potential war in Iran. The Others, led by Obama and former Senator John Edwards, have stressed Clinton's changing views and her contentment with the status quo while Clinton has highlighted her moderateness.

So far, one thing is clear – most of the candidates are running on a platform that aims to put them apart from President Bush.
