Barack Obama was first on the hotseat, asked about controversial statements made by his pastor Rev. Wright and his own characterization of small town Pennsylvaians as bitter.
"No doubt people were offended. It's not the first time I made a mangled statement, it won't be the last," Sen Barack Obama said.
Obama's patriotism was also called into question and his friendship with a former member of the 1960's radical group the Weather Underground, all issues Hillary Clinton said need to be explored.
"It's certainly an issue Republicans will be raising and it goes to how we will be running against John Mccain," Sen. Hillary Clinton said.
Clinton said she's ready to withstand Republican attacks since they've have been rummaging through her baggage for years.
As for a new ABC poll that finds that 58 percent of Democrats don't trust her, Clinton again apologized for claiming she ran through sniper fire on a trip to Bosnia. "I'm embarrassed by it. I apologized, said it was a mistake, hope it is something you can overlook," she said.
