The Hollywood crowd is very pro-Clinton, but Barack is stealing this debate.

[Unsane]

And this was a debate that he didn't need to "win," per se--just make it even.

Looked competent on health care, economy, and knocked it out of the park on Iraq.

1. I Don't Think So

I like Obama but he seems so uncomfortable up there to me. It concerns me. He seems so afraid to say or do the wrong thing. I wish I saw more confidence in him.

2. I don't agree

I'm uncommitted at this point, but I think Hillary is sounding informed, measured, and diplomatic.

3. This was a wonderful debate!

4. hell yes,

[Kahuna]

5. I thought the crowd favored Obama. nt

[earthside]

6. Yah, He Won.

Beat the expectations.

And the Clinton(s) cackling during the last ten minutes was a killer for her.

The momentum is with Obama right now and nothing happened tonight to slow that down.

7. what are you smoking?

[Unsane]

8. Obama did what he needed to do.

[agdlp]

9. If the CNN viwers represent people at large, Clinton did very, very good !!

10. Not watching the same debate

They both did well, edge to Clinton

[stillcool]

11. I agree...

his answers were clear and concise, while she did a lot of rambling. Both are enormously intelligent. He had class...she..not so much. I would much rather have him do the negotiating for my country and for me.

[Peregrine Took]

12. Most of the time he seemed to be listening like a devoted student.

[Clintonite]

13. Looking competent is "stealing" the debate!?!? Put down the pipe!

[bigwillq]

14. I think it was a draw

as to which candidate won the debate. Clinton better in the first half, Obama better in the second.

[Thrill]

15. He won the debate when he made clear his difference on Healthcare and the War
