A final face-off between Democrats running for president: Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama debate once again in Cleveland before the primary on March 4.

Hillary Clinton, making the hard sell to women at a student rally Monday night.

Daytime host Ellen DeGeneres cut in, helping Clinton spell out the high stakes in next week’s primaries.

Earlier, Clinton appealed to the women of Delta Sigma Theta, one of the country’s largest black sororities, highlighting one member’s Oscar bid.

“The Delta’s are a who’s who of women who have stood up and who have led, who have changed this country for the better. And I know you were all rooting for Ruby Dee,” Hillary Clinton said.

Polls show Barack Obama has made huge gains among women since December. In Dayton Monday night, Obama said he and supporters are the real deal.

“You are not romantic. You’re not here because you think somehow change is easy in this country. You’re not here because you are infatuated with me because I make a nice speech. That’s not why you’re here,” Obama said.

At Tuesday night’s debate, Obama will try to hold his line and avoid slips as Clinton looks to land a blow.

“He knows it’s his to lose I think. So I think it’s going to be a tall order for her. I think she also has to make sure she tells her supporters in Ohio and Texas it ain’t over yet,” Political Analyst Susan Molinari said.
