Debate format Error: Barrack should have spoke last!!!!!!! !!!! !!!!!! !!!!!!!

[debatepro]

On 1/31 - Obama spoke first and Clinton spoke last (remember she plugged her national town hall on the halmark channel).
On 2/21 - Clinton spoke first and Clinton spoke last.


This is a big deal. Essentially she got to open and close the debate. I don't think this was by design. They said barrack chose to go second... probable because he was going to get to speak last. Which he didn't get...

1. I noticed that also....

Seemed like a break from typical debate protocol.

8. The implication is the debate wasn't supposed to end with that question...

now they may have cut it short because they went long on health care.

6. Who the hell cares?

16. It's a tactic.

He thinks he's going second, all of a sudden he's going first. I've been in that situation and it causes you to be flustered. Plus Hilly got a few extra minutes to get ready, and then got to go out on her canned high note.

18. then got to go out on her canned PLAGIARIZED high note.

:rofl:

9. Even so he still won the debate

And I think Obama will get some latino votes in Texas considering the way people walked out of her speech in Texas.

11. Grammar format Error: Barrack should have "spoken" last !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:rofl:

[Whisp]

12. some here think that the standing ovation/applause was for Hillary

when it was for the end of debate.

:shrug:
desperate times.

[debatepro]

13. who?

I am an obama supporter... do a search... I just think he should had the opportunity to speak last.

[Whisp]

one Can get the Impression that the applause was for her, but it wasn't. the standing O certainly wasn't.
just another possible sneaky to consider.

[dailykoff]

15. Yeah I noticed that too.

Happens every debate that I've seen -- they try to knock Obama off his game by breaking their own rules in ways that always, always favor Hilly. Questions are framed to include favorable spin and quotes, the order is suddenly switched so Obama has to go first on a tough question, etc etc.

Nice try mockingbirds but you're not slowing the O train with your lame tricks.

17. It's alright. He won anyway.

[nomorewhopper]

19. with 3% undecideds, does it even really matter anymore?

hillary's last gasp for air.

she closed very strong. people won't give a shit about plagiarism - for either candidate. but it's just too little, too late.

[Inchworm]

20. He noticed it too

I wasnt sure, but I got a bad vibe when it happened.
