Immigration conspicuously absent from Democrats’ debate

Carolyn Hileman - The Voice* | February 28, 2008 

Tuesday’s debate, a microcosm of the Democratic campaign so far, was a vitally important event for both candidates. Barack Obama had to maintain his momentum and his cool, and it was Hillary Rodham Clinton’s last chance to disrupt both before her make-or-break Ohio and Texas primaries. They covered a lot of ground, especially hashing over health care, the North American Free Trade Agreement and the Iraq war. One issue was inconspicuously missing - immigration. It was mentioned once, by Obama, and then only in passing. At the outset of the campaign, immigration was tabbed as the hot wedge issue, especially for Republicans. One candidate, Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., entered the race with immigrant bashing his only issue.
