Democrats spar in heated debate

LAS VEGAS, Nevada (CNN) -- In a sometimes-contentious debate, seven Democratic presidential hopefuls squared off in Sin City and answered questions from undecided voters Thursday.

With moderator Wolf Blitzer serving as ringmaster and referee, the candidates sparred over health care, Social Security, illegal immigration, the war in Iraq and foreign trade.

The candidates were sometimes as critical of each other as they were of President Bush.

Sen. Hillary Clinton and Sen. Barack Obama -- her closest rival -- wasted no time sparring early in the debate.

It happened when the topic turned to each candidate's health care insurance proposal and how many Americans would be covered. Watch the exchange »

At one point in the exchange Clinton and Obama spoke simultaneously, both raising their voices in an attempt to argue against the other's point.

On Iraq, Obama said he wanted to talk to friends and enemies alike to end the war.

They're doing a great job of beating the hell out of each other. At this pace....none of these people will be a V.P. candidate; how could they?

Have a good one!:s4:

Sad thing is nothing will be done for the health care situation in America. We already socialize military, schools, roads. Health care should be a right of a citizen rather than a privilege. For a healthy, progressive society to evolve, we must stop supporting a system where medical institutions can profit. USA must become a country where it's able to take care of all it's people in regards to health care. We should not allow Americans to go bankrupt because they cannot afford medical care.

Both Osama's and Hilliary's proposals are a joke.
