Oh, Man! John Edwards is rockin' tonight in the South Carolina debate!

[Seabiscuit]

While the MSM Hillbana beast slays itself with recriminations, Edwards is taking the high road while making them both look bad.

But the best news is that Obama is really exposing himself as a Repuke!

BRILLIANT!

2. I agree ... for the most part ...

I agree that Edwards is doing a great job tonight.

In fact, this is the best he's done in a debate.

I disagree with you about Hillary ... I think she is doing a great job tonight also. She is being tough on Obama and he needs to feel this. He needs to stop with all of this "you can't talk about me" bull crap. I'm personally tired of it.

I appreciate Edwards joining Hillary in calling him out on that.

14. I agree with you about Hillary doing what she needed to do to Barak tonight.

She came across as by far the toughest in her sparring with Barak who seemed for the most part defensive and unnerved.

I like the way Edwards stayed above the fray, even standing up to Blitzer, who kept trying to interrupt him:

"There are three people in this debate, not two," interjected Edwards. Referencing the bitter back-and-forth between his two opponents, Edwards asked, "This kind of squabbling -- how many children is this going to get health care? How many people are going to get education because of this? How many kids are going to get to go to college because of this?"

"I respect both of my fellow candidates," he continued, "but we have got to understand this is not about us personally."

Of course, Blitzer interrupted. But Edwards held his ground. "Let me finish here," he said. "Lord knows, you let them go on forever."

The crowd cheered as loudly as it had for anything said by Obama or Clinton.

16. I'm watching now, HRC and BHO turn me off

sniping at each other over stupid things.

I would say John Edwards came out on top of this one.

18. Edwards was the president in tonight's debate.

Winner takes all!!!!!

[Seabiscuit]

19. He came across as the only adult on the stage.

[sandnsea]

17. Exposing himself as what??

Now just how in the hell do you think he did that?

[CreekDog]

20. I thought he was pretty good

All this time on the campaign trail is making him more and more adept in these settings. I think reports of his demise are premature.

I should say, as one who holds a blank absentee ballot for 2/5 here in CA that I've been trying to figure out who to vote for Hillary/Barack, but in my heart of hearts, always liked Edwards more. If he can become more of a contender, I'll likely vote for him, if not, I'm really pressed to make a choice between Clinton and Obama because I do think she is better overall. That said, if they tear each other apart to effectively, Edwards may get my vote no matter what.

Clock is ticking.

But boy do I miss Joe Biden, he was the best in the previous debates. Affable, sharp, etc.
