Just finished watching the "Debate" and here are the winners and losers!
Obama: Got into a hole and tried to get out - Clinton and Dodd made sure of that.
Kucinich: Stayed in message all night and knows how to reach a Labor crowd. As the only card carrying union man he impressed the most
Clinton: Got way too much time, AGAIN. Who is she paying? and why is she standing on a box? Kucinich doesnt!
Gravel: Won it hands down, as he did the right thing and stayed away.
Biden: got booed for not answering the question the lady posed... rude!
That guy from New Mexico: If he wants people to notice him and remember his name he should wear an Aloha Shirt!

I hear he did pretty well.

3. Biden did answer her question, He advised her too:
Ask the Good Coal Miners Union President; who was better qualified to answer her question. I'm sure Biden knows little about coal mining.

8. I did too!
Denis is getting better every showing. If he didnt turn into a complete nutjob every so often he would probably be a leading candidate. What was up with his shirt cuffs tonight it looked like he borrowed his older brother shirt or something.

5. Clinton was horrible
And no matter how much Tweety fawned over her afterward, she was still horrible. No policies, only attacks against the administration and other Dems. What is her plan on anything, exactly?

Edwards, Obama, Biden, Kucinich and even Richardson had well thought out answers. All Hillary had was a lot of moxie. Not unlike the current pResident. All bluster, no substance.

Sorry I need a smart person who has answers and loves America and its people. Tonight I'm with Obama and Edwards first, then Biden and Kucinich.

6. I saw some clips of her answers, and you're right--
not one of her nights. She did better in the previous debate.

10. Kucinich
Then Obama, and then a toss up between Edwards and Hillary. Hillary was terrible, tho.

11. Kucinich did great
and I'm not a DK supporter but he was in his glory. I thought Edwards and Obama did very well too. Not so much Hillary. Dodd did very well too. Biden was doing OK until he blew off that question. Bad idea and I'm a fan of his. Tweety's worshipping of Hillary afterwards was nauseating. No way in hell she won that.

12. I feel sorry for Richardson in these "debates." He's obviously
not comfortable and doesn't come across well, despite the fact he's probably the most experienced and capable one on the stage.
