Was John Edwards and Obama ambushed during the debate?

[itsrobert]

Russert and Williams tried, but they successfully handled it unlike the designated frontrunner.

1. What difficult questions did Russert throw at them?

[itsrobert]

2. There were no difficult questions asked of any of the candidates

If you're ready for it, it's not really difficult is it? The trouble is, one candidate wasn't ready.

9. What debate were you watching?

Provide an example of said ambush.

[asjr]

10. Russert acts as if it is his

birthright to ambush a Clinton. He has been doing that for years.

11. I guess the ambush about what Halloween costume he was going

to wear, really set Obama thinking, WHAT AN AMBUSH..But then trying to engage Hillary in conflict with 25 of the 22 questions asked her was nothing. Damn do you mean Obama is going to tell the country what the best costumes are, and make sure that's something everyone should know. While Hillary Clinton is asked to investigate a serious issue about the governor of New York issuing driver license to illegal immigrants.

I really love Obama supporters idea of what's important and what's not.

[Cameron27]

12. I'm pretty sure the OP is supporting Edwards.

15. What???

[CyberPieHole]

17. Too bad the polls don't reflect their "successes"...

Perhaps they might try the "politics of hope". Piling on didn't do the job. Try a little tenderness (and lose the desperation).

18. Please stop with the polls. They mean nothing in November

Ask President Dean.

[CyberPieHole]

19. They mean nothing when they fail to prove your point...

it's human nature to disregard and to "pooh-pooh" data that is "inconvenient". Polls are tools in providing us with voting trends. To discard all of them is ill advised. According to you, Mike Gravel and Tom Tancredo have as much chance as Edwards and Giuliani in getting their party's nominations (since polls mean "nothing")? No poll available shows Gravel/Tancredo as serious contenders. But I suppose the tooth fairy could make it all magically come true.:silly:
