A lot of these candidates will learn. It is still early, but attacking Obama is a losing strategy.

Everyone was better than the first debates. I'm sure they'll be even better the next time.

was their way of attacking Biden. That kind of ugly politics doesn't get you far in the Democratic party and it gives republicans too many talking points.

than those who think their chosen candidate won. Although this is the first time I've read anyone who claimed they thought Biden won last night.

All he had to do was tread water. He had the biggest target. If he didn't crash and burn he would be one of the night's winners.
