Clinton, Obama spar during Ohio debate

Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama debate the issues at Cleveland State University on Feb. 26, 2008.

Tuesday's debate was the 20th of the presidential campaign.

The tone of the debate was polite yet pointed, a reflection of the stakes in a race in which Barack Obama has won 11 straight primaries.

Hillary Clinton said that as far as she knew, her campaign had nothing to do with circulating a photograph of Barack Obama wearing a white turban and a wraparound white robe.
