(Via The Swamp.)

Tonight, they will face off.

On the day of the one televised debate between Sens. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama in Pennsylvania, the candidates also are delivering their own televised messages to voters attempting to discern which one of these Democrats really is in touch with their goals for America.

They play off of Obama’s comments about the bitterness of working-class voters, with Clinton’s ad claiming that Obama is out of touch — an ad that employs at least one offended voter who isn’t really registered to vote in Pennsylvania, as the Morning Call’s Josh Drobnyk has reported here in the Swamp today.

Obama responds by accusing Clinton of playing the “politics of division.”

It’s a debate that certainly will play out live tonight, at the National Constitution Center, in Philadelphia. ABC News will run and air the debate, the first one since Feb. 26 in Ohio and last one before the Pennsylvania primary on Tuesday. ABC’s Charles Gibson and George Stephanopoulos will moderate the debate, running from 8 to 10 pm EDT.
