FACTBOX: Quotes from Democratic candidates' debate
(Reuters) - Democratic presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama met in Cleveland on Tuesday for a final debate before the next round of pivotal nominating contests on March 4 in Ohio and Texas.
Here are some selected quotes from the exchange.
NEW YORK SEN. HILLARY CLINTON
"We should have a good debate that uses accurate information, not false, misleading and discredited information, especially on something as important as whether or not we will achieve quality, affordable health care for everyone."
"I have a great deal of respect for Senator Obama, but we have differences and in the last several days, some of those differences in tactics and the choices that Senator Obama's campaign has made ...about my health care plan and my position on NAFTA have been very disturbing to me."
Clinton pointed to a television skit that portrayed a fawning press posing questions to Obama.
"Could I just point out that, in the last several debates, I seem to get the first question all the time? And I don't mind. You know, I'll be happy to field them, but I do find it curious. And if anybody saw "Saturday Night Live," you know, maybe we should ask Barack if he's comfortable and needs another pillow."
"Despite the difficulties of a Bush administration and a Republican Congress for six years of my first term, I have worked very hard to create jobs. But, obviously, as president, I will have a lot more tools at my disposal."
