Hi viewers, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are facing each other in a televised debate as they strive to become the Democratic Party's presidential candidate.The two are debating head-to-head after John Edwards withdrew from the Democratic race on Wednesday.In the Republican race, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger added his support to John McCain's bid.Rudy Giuliani, who pulled out of the Republican contest this week, has also said he is backing Mr McCain. The endorsements could give Mr McCain extra momentum ahead of "Super Tuesday", when 24 states will vote.The Democratic race is also getting more tense ahead of the potentially decisive series of contests.Both candidates paid tribute to Mr Edwards in opening statements at Thursday evening's debate in Los Angeles.Mr Obama said the US was facing a "defining moment"."What is at stake right now is whether we are looking backwards or forwards," he said.Mrs Clinton said that the Republican administration of President George W Bush had created a "stack of problems".
"It is imperative that we have a president who can begin to solve these problems," she said.
