[SemiCharmedQuark]

"Yes, yes, yes," she said when pressed about Obama's electability during a campaign debate six days before the Pennsylvania primary.

Asked a similar question about Clinton, Obama said "Absolutely and I've said so before" — a not-so-subtle dig at his rival who had previously declined to make a similar statement about him.

7. Here's the Associated Press headline:

Clinton: "Yes, yes, yes" Obama can win in November

Of all the talking points in the debate, this is apparently considered the most newsworthy by the AP.
