obama won this debate. GO OBAMA!

NAFTA is practically synoymous with the Clintons and now she's so opposed to it?

[VirginiaTagz]

Hillary was right all along. Obama's plan looks almost nothing like he was belting out. Meanwhile Hillary's plan would have been a god send.

Notice how Hilary spends a full 2 minutes complaining about how she has to answer first, also notice how she implies that it is in some way Obama's fault for that. Hilary grow up and quit bitching.

didnt accuse obama of being a spin. in the media i keep hearing that "obama is cutting into clinton's base more than she's cutting into his", barely noticing that a 1% lead is not a lead at all. dont get me wrong, im not bashing obama. but i dont subscribe to any illusion that he's less fallible than clinton, and neither do our opposition. realize in open states republicans get to vote for us. and why not, their candidate already been chosen for them. my point is, that's a false show of support.

Obama a "spin"?? How the hell can you watch a debate with Obama and Hillary and say that OBAMA is a spin?! Clinton is the obvious spinner in this debate... her constant shreiks of trying desperately to make her health-care plan (which has already failed in 1994) seem better than Obama's are fruitless, and only lose her more votes with every word that she herself spins. She even tries to ride on the reputation of FDR and Johnson..not to mention the petty complaints of getting the first questions!

obama would be in the same boat as huckabee and ron paul if he weren't allowed to get republican votes. these candidates are not just tied for votes rite now, they are tied for important reasons. look into that. the snl sketch is NOT irrelevant; unfortunately it has been effectively removed but i saw it b4 that happened. as obama would say, "look..." the reason he is reported to be so STRONG is not that he's strong. its a spin. watch the whole debates, all of them. ignore the media. vote smart!

They are very close on the issues, but I think this debate underlined what kind of candidates they both are. Whining about unfairness is what cost Kerry the 2004 election. I'd trust Obama in the ring more than anyone.

i like obama too but they both had their strong points, overall i think it was good for both of them. Democrats need to unite though, we can't stay split or we won't end up winning...agian. i like obama, other people like clinton. i honestly like them both fine

[dahlia2888]

shes a loud mouth. someone needs to put her back in the kitchen

[calebmwebb]

WELL! If you were listening she said " In the last several debates..." - Make sure you get the context correct. Thank you.

A great debate but through out the debate i found Senator Obama on Higher Ground. He was strong and in control, i think Senator Clinton's needless involvement in the Nation of Islam Question was her losing point.

Both of them r gre8 candidates but i do believe now tht Obama is more stronger when it comes to winning in General Elections.

His position on Iraq, Health care, Economy & most importantly Foreign Relations makes a lot of sense and shows a sense of leadership we need.
