[rhombus]

And now, the CNN pundits claim Hillary won. I pick the PEOPLE over the pundits any time, any where!

[William769]

7. Let me guess a Obama supporter?

Thats the kind of answer I would expect from either one.

[TeamJordan23]

30. Let me guess, an anti-Obama supporter?

[William769]

31. I didn't say 200 million.

[rhombus]

8. FOX had close to 30, CNN about the same

And the South Carolina poll confirmed the focus groups poll. I'm tired of the way the pundits manipulate the news.

[Nimrod2005]

2. I saw that............WOW!

[TeamJordan23]

5. I think you have an old link

to a previous debate. nm

[Colobo]

6. Gobama!!!!

[HughMoran]

9. What is a "Fox"?

I've never heard of such a thing?

[TeamJordan23]

10. It was his best debate. But I didn't like the debate at all.

I didn't think the format lived up the hype.

[DUyellow]

23. better then what i expected

[wyldwolf]

11. wasn't there a New Hampshire focus group watching, too?

...said Clinton won.

[rhombus]

13. the NH focus group came in for Hillary, left for Obama

They group said Obama outperfomed Hillary.

[illinoisprogressive]

12. New hampshire thinks the same. Obama. but, the news must promote and spin for Hillary

[Donnachaidh]

14. and BOTH were wrong!

:rofl:

[eweaver155]

18. They both were right. He gave good answers. It was a positive night

for him.

:bounce:

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

15. Faux? Aren't they a little late to the game?

[Doctor_J]

16. You believe anything that comes from Fox?

good grief. I can't believe there are Limbeciles on this board.

[theredpen]

17. Live Audiences in Mancheseter, NH picked Obama

Just based on the real-time graph:

1. Obama. Highest response ratings, most consistently high.


2. Edwards. 2nd highest. Also consistently over 70% threshold.


3. Clinton. Solid positive response, but not consistent. Nor were the peaks as high.

The graph was available as an overlay for those watching the streaming video of the debate.

[redherring]

19. Eh, no. He didn't win

He stutters a bit too much.
Hillary Clinton won for all I know.

[TankLV]

20. WOOOW BOY! NOT! - ugh!

I like him less and less everytime he opens his mouth...

[BringBigDogBack]

21. Obama clearly won this round.

Very impressive.

[TwilightGardener]

22. I saw part of it, and I thought he looked much more confident--

he did very well--proud of him!

[Vinca]

24. Why is the media so intent on cramming Hillary down our throats?

She could have slept through the entire thing and they would say she won. All I can imagine is that the right wing smear machine is salivating over the prospect of a Clinton campaign and is passing the word along to their mouthpieces.

[Ethelk2044]

25. Yes, he did win.

CNN and MSNBC is quickly becoming like FAUX news trying to pick a candidate. Even though CNN focus group stated he won the political analyst are the saying the same thing.

[sendero]

26. Oh...

.... well the Republican power brokers must have decided it will be easier to beat Obama than Clinton at this point.

[eweaver155]

27. Yes, he did win the debate. I am glad they had the focus groups on the air

because they would have tried to slant.

[Adelante]

28. I thought Obama was the best last night

Hillary second and Kucinich third. Richardson has improved his debate performance quite a lot and Biden was on his usual game. Dodd was good at times, but he meanders as if he's on the Senate floor instead of a stage. Edwards had a strong moment on the health care issue when something genuine showed through an overall medium performance. Gravel had flashes of brilliance, but a bad night for him.

[sampsonblk]

29. Great. Let's see what the polls say in a few days

My guess is that people will like Obama, but Clinton's lead will grow. Ask John Jerry about 'winning' a debate.
