2. Hillary!
No question that she was right on target.
Edwards wasn't too bad either.

5. I don't know.
The talking heads haven't told me yet.

I can tell you who lost right now though, the viewers. This was just god awful boring. Not to mention the Dennis banishment.

7. Edwards.
I think that Hillary had a strong showing as well, but I think that Edwards won this. He was looking mighty presidential tonight!

8. The big loser of the night? The Democratic Party
1. Where was Dennis Kucinich?

2. Not enough emphasis on Iraq. Some, but there didn't seem to be any real urgency about getting the troops home.

3. Going after gun owners while professing support for the Second Amendment? Won't wash.

4. Waayy too much pandering to Homeland Security, IMHO. They are part of the problem, not the solution to the problem.

9. A remark I just heard made by Russert.
A foreboding of how the 'everything's alright in Iraq now' story will be sold. He said, in comparing the two parties, will the Dems try to get the troops out or will they follow the success of generals on the ground like Petraus (sp?).

First of all, that the surge is working is a crock. Second, Bush didn't listen to the 'generals on the ground' ever. He PUT generals on the ground that would listen to HIM.

15. I agree wholeheartedly
And remember how Herr Decider twisted the arms of Congressional Democrats into passing that noxious resolution condemning MoveOn.org just for speaking the truth about Petraeus?

12. Kucinich won, by virtue of being excluded by the war profiteers that
own NBC and the fascist judges who allowed his exclusion.

That makes about the most powerful statement that can be made by a candidate.

18. He proved that they fear him
Afraid he might say something to irreparably harm them or an insurance company...

What we have now is predatory capitalism,
which makes the American people
a cash crop for the insurance companies.

16. I found all of them showed...
traits that I'm looking for in a candidate. One is intelligence, and I have to say they all excelled. What else I find important is my perception of honesty, and my perception of each candidates intent. There I had some problems.

22. Gee, This Isn't A Product Of Blinders And Bias Towards One's Favorite Candidate LOL
I have no technical attachments nor aversions to any of the 3. I watched the debate from a completely objective point of view. From that perspective, Hillary won the debate by at least a 2 to 1 margin. Now granted, that's up for opinion and interpretation, but I still can't help but giggle a little at the poll results above, since it just is a far cry from the realities of the debate tonight.

They all did well, but Hillary was in a totally different league than Obama or Edwards. Let's be honest here people lol.
