Washington Post, the Fix: Joe Biden wins NPR Debate
Edited on Tue Dec-04-07 05:37 PM by K Gardner
Well, by the same logic the other poster used to mislead in the title, I can also read the WP article and say that the author concluded that Biden won:

WINNERS

Joe Biden/Chris Dodd: It's no secret that Biden and Dodd have chafed against their lack of speaking time in the debates to date. In this debate, both were given considerably more time to make their points, and they did so effectively. Biden seemed to be channeling John McCain circa 2000, repeatedly telling listeners it was time to talk straight about issues. And, the focus on foreign policy allowed Biden to flex his knowledge on the issues and tout his time at the head of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Dodd lent the event its lone real moment of levity when he assured the debates' moderators that his children would not be receiving toys from China but rather toys from Iowa. Dodd also spoke authoritatively on the issue of immigration, even forcing Biden at one point to defer to his deeper knowledge on the issue.

3. Losers - Hillary ... and Gravel
LOSERS

Hillary Clinton: Here's the problem for the junior Senator from New York: Despite the fact that polling in Iowa shows her in tight race with Edwards and Sen. Barack Obama (Ill.), her rivals for the nomination still treat her as though she is the frontrunner. On Iran, she took incoming from all sides -- Obama and Edwards accused her of attempting to distort their past statements, while Dodd and Biden castigated Clinton for her vote in favor of the now infamous Kyl-Lieberman amendment that designated the Iranian Revolutionary Guard a terrorist organization. Clinton was also hurt by the topics chosen by NPR; on Iran and immigration she has taken considerable flack for her positions; her strongest issue, health care, was left out of the mix.

as a Looser in the NPR debate. Obvously the author likes Edwards. after listening myself I am biased too . however Biden took yet another one... GO JOE!

6. I think the debate is available 24/7 at NPR. org. Everyone who didn't hear it, should.
I'm going to listen to the whole thing again tonight.
