CNN is spinning the debate for Obama

[Joe the Revelator]

A- for Obama
B's for Clinton and Edwards

[jefferson_dem]

1. Halperin says Obama A- (not A+), the other two B+

n/t

[Mutineer]

3. edwards should also have an A

in fact, I think he won. But Clinton got caught lying too many times.

[Joe the Revelator]

6. I agree with this.

[Joe the Revelator]

5. Fixed

11. More love for Obama from Republicans

[Blue_In_AK]

Personally, I thought Obama did okay

but he didn't really hold my interest.

[Proud2BAmurkin]

4. Only Halperin who is most famous for saying "Drudge rules my world." nt

[jefferson_dem]

8. And Ms. Drudge rules yours.

You know...Taylor.

7. Sorry but Obama got eaten alive in the first half

how can he hold up in an attack by the Repubs, he collapsed under an unrelenting attack and a problem for him, everyone is going to be asking, Who is Rezko tomorrow?

[Joe the Revelator]

10. I'm shocked you would feel that way, You have zero respect for Obama

of course you will see him getting his ass handed to him.


Hillary came off as a dopey, shrill, thug.

9. I thought Edwards and Obama were tied this time. Both did well.

hillary looked a bit desparate to try and both defend her campaigns actions and continue to trash obama (and edwards) as often as possible.

not a good showing.

And don't take this the wrong way, but how are african americans going to feel if Hillary keeps trying to own MLKs legacy and afrian american issues? I think at some point, some african americans may take offense at this as its become so pervasive.

[stillcool]

13. I think so too...

I would love to see this campaign be between Edwards and Obama. Hillary is just not civil.

[AX10]

12. MSM is spinning a loss as a win for Obama.

[Windy]

15. Obama and Edwards won this debate. I suppose those that don't agree are hillary bashing?

No doubt for Hillary supporters, this will be the case!

[Rockholm]

14. CNN Sucks. MSNBC's debates were much better.

Wolfie, pathetic. The questions, weak. The candidates, on message.

[amborin]

16. Hillary, hands down

she was very articulate, tough, excellent

her responses were cogent, no wasted words

Obama seemed to be struggling for words a lot of the time, lots of filler words in his responses

his answers hedged, did not address the questions

most important, his health care proposal is seriously deficient

no free riders, they are breaking the back of the ERs

and his statement about Reagan.....just read Paul Krugman's column today

[sunonmars]

17. Exactly, he just fell to pieces in the first half, he couldnt respond

He didnt even answer the questions, dodged them
