McCain and Clinton will be asking questions as members of the Senate Armed Services Committee, where McCain is the most senior Republican. Obama will be asking questions at a separate Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing scheduled later in the day.
Here's some pre-game handicapping:
- McCain scores points if he can make it clear that his support of the troop surge last year paid off with less violence in Iraq. He will be relentless in highlighting the positives of the Bush administration strategy -- and as a result, his own wisdom in supporting the president.
- No candidate has more on the line than Clinton. She needs
to be the toughest, most intelligent questioner to bolster her argument
that she will be "ready on day one" to become Commander in Chief. But
she also needs to prove to Democrats voting in the next few states that
she is committed to ending the war.
- Expect Obama to play it safe. He needs to come across as
intelligent and ready, but it's more important that he make no mistakes
that could cause Democratic superdelegates to re-evaluate him as a candidate. Having the stage to himself at a different committee hearing should be an advantage.
