Asked how she would differ from Obama on the economy, an issue which has become the top priority for voters, Clinton began: "I would agree with a lot that Senator Obama just said, because it is the Democratic agenda." And what about that border fence, for which they both voted? "Well, this is an area where Senator Clinton and I almost entirely agree," Obama said, as he echoed Clinton's argument for more sensitivity to the opinions of local communities...
