8. The Republicans.
Richardson also seems like such a good guy but he is just not in the same league as the other three.

16. My choice as well.
He had a couple of nice moments, but overall seemed to be blithering and kind of "punchy", IMO.

18. Edwards dominated, Clinton lost.
Obama had no major screw-ups, and why was Richardson even there?

21. Thank you for including the "no one" option -- that's what I voted.
Edited on Sat Jan-05-08 10:52 PM by scarletwoman
NONE of them were losers up there tonight. They all handled themselves well, they all answered the questions intelligently -- even the crappy questions.

22. Sen Clinton probably lost.
Sen Edwards probably won.

Sen Obama didn't make any big mistakes. (push)

Gov Richardson was very good, but probably didn't sway anyone to his "side".

31. Why do you have to be that way?
What is "childish" about Dennis Kucinich?

Nah, nevermind, I don't care. Go ahead and beat a guy down for sticking to his principles. Happens every day in this world.

28. You can lose by not winning.
Obama won by not losing.

35. Clinton had Nixon's probelm
If this had been a radio debate she may have indeed won. But in the medium of television body language is half the battle and Clinton looked bitter and mean. Obama gave a better television performance and Edwards, IMO, did much better than both of them.

27. I do not think Clinton lost. I voted for Richardson.
I think Clinton scored extremely well when differentiating her experience with that of Edwards and Obama. I am an Edwards supporter.

It doesn't resonate so much with me since we want more change than she is proposing. Kt might not register with most DUers, but I think for the general electorate she did herself the most good.

29. Right-wingers
And let's hope they lose again and again, because our candidates keep doing as well as they did tonight.

30. I thought they all did well
Edited on Sun Jan-06-08 02:06 AM by Blue_In_AK
but Edwards was the clear winner. Clinton was a bit prickly but very clear in her statements. Obama looked tired.

They are all such a contrast to the Republicans.

32. Clinton had to accomplish the most...
...she failed to take the wind out of frontrunner Obama's sails. Edwards and Obama won. Richardson was there...Clinton lost.

34. The American people lost.
Corporations narrowing the field of candidates and setting the agenda.

36. Clinton
she kept contradicting herself...going on and on about change but then kept on about her 35 years experience as an insider.
