I don't know what kind of shit some of you people are smoking, but...

[rucky]

Both candiates are fantastic. They're gracious and talking substance. They look comfortable on stage and comfortable with each other.

If you can't see that, you're cheating yourselves out of a proud moment.

[thunder rising]

1. It's not the night ... it's the 4 years that follow.

[Ellen Forradalom]

2. Hear hear.

:toast:

[Olney Blue]

3. Damn, they are both good!

[mourningdove92]

4. Well Said!

They are both doing great. Proud night for all Democrats.

[Pushed To The Left]

5. K&R! n/t

[MadMaddie]

6. Yes they are and they put the Republicans to shame.

[bidenista]

7. amen

Compare this to the freakshow last night, and I really can't see how the GOP will survive November.

[kikiek]

8. I think some people feed off of fighting. They enjoy it. They're bored without it.

[Hill_YesWeWill]

25. Great, we have a pretty good fight ahead of us against the republicans!

of course we'll win though, no problem!

[Politicub]

9. My partner and I were just saying to each other

how fantastic and natural they look together on stage. I hope this is a preview of what's to come!

[AlCzervik]

10. they do look good.

[Jed Dilligan]

11. True, this debate seems like salvation

after the immature displays in the last one.

[Donk Yore]

12. I agree wholeheartedly

I'm enjoying this debate to this point immensely. Both are very articulate and the words they are speaking are resonating with me.

[calteacherguy]

13. I am strongly for Obama, but I agree with you sentiments.

The future looks bright ahead.

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

14. Yes. Fully agree.

[tridim]

15. McCain is in SERIOUS trouble no matter who wins.

He's going to get trounced.

[IDemo]

30. Depends

Sorry. I just had to get that in. :)

[pnwmom]

16. I completely agree. They're both a credit to the party.

I look forward to the REAL debates to follow.

[NCarolinawoman]

This debate makes me feel very hopeful. n/t

[krabigirl]

17. Yes, they are both great tonight.

[WinkyDink]

18. ITA.

[DemBones DemBones]

19. I agree but am forced to conclude that Clinton can win

against Insane McCain or Romney. Obama can't.

Maybe we'll have a Clinton/Obama ticket and he'll be set up to be president after her two terms.

[TexasObserver]

20. OMG!! This one's SANE!!

Agreed. Thank you.

When you watch a debate like this one and see some of the bizarre extremes the fanatics of both remaining camps taken here, you know their bad reception is a result of a problem in their receiving unit. No major missteps by either. Both looking solid. No surprises, no gotcha moments.

[cbayer]

21. Inspirational and hopeful

Makes the mud-slinging and mean spiritedness on DU seem very childish and non-productive. They are both great and I will be proud to have either one as my president.

[K Gardner]

22. K&R !

[WillyT]

23. Who You Callin YOUNG !!!

:rofl::hippie:::rofl:

I couldn't agree more.

:hi:

K & R !!!

:kick:

[paulk]

24. that was a great debate, wasn't it?

DU, post debate, is as usual, a cesspool.

[Neshanic]

26. Yes it was a good night for us.

[Labors of Hercules]

27. YES indeed!

I am now firmly in favor of Both Hillary and Obama.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

28. ABSOLUTELY!

[Flabbergasted]

29. Good show! nt

[Bluerthanblue]

31. word up-

and before I lose this lovin feeling, I need to log off!

peace~

[Paladin]

32. I'm With You, Rucky

I can't remember a better pair of candidates in my lifetime of 57 years. Can't wait to vote for one of them, or both of them, if they team up.

[JackBeck]

33. Dear Corporatist Apologizer

Thank you for you're fantastic review of tonight's debate. The warm and fuzzy feelings I am having as a result of reading your summary romancing the things which matter least about what was actually important about the conversation that was happening. Clearly after giving as many speeches as they do and knowing they would be the final two, they were relieved to have all the others gone. Of course they were are lovey-dovey, since they share common interests.

xoxo

34. Sad that the poor couldn't see or hear it

Here in Los Angeles if you didn't have cable or satellite or high speed internet, you couldn't get it. No over the air TV, no radio.
But NPR will broadcast tomorrow at 8.
Just doesn't seem right to me.

[bvar22]

35. They both gave a good "performance" tonight.

My only complaint was what was NOT talked about:

*The single greatest threat to our democracy....Corporate control of our government (Obama DID mention "lobbyists" once)

*Campaign Finance Reform

*Election Integrity (BBV)

*Impeachment/holding War Criminals accountable for their actions

*BlackWatergate

*The NAFTA Failure & how to fix it

*LABOR Rights

*corporate Accountability (re-regulation of vital industries)


The Corporate Media can produce an "electrifying" performance for the Corporate Candidates.
Not much to argue about or even get uncomfortable when both candidates have the same position.
Pepsi or Coke?......Gee, I think Pepsi WON tonight!!!!! :woohoo:



"There are forces within the Democratic Party who want us to sound like kinder, gentler Republicans. I want us to compete for that great mass of voters that want a party that will stand up for working Americans, family farmers, and people who haven't felt the benefits of the economic upturn."---Paul Wellstone

[bigwillq]

36. I agree.

Neither were my first choice but I was impressed by both tonight.

[Raffi Ella]

37. agreed.

Whatever bad feelings I had toward Obama are wiped clean from the slate as of this debate.
I would love it if Hillary were to be nominated but I would be so proud with either of these two representing Our Party and Our Country.

It feels really good to be a Democrat tonight.

[elixir]

38. I agree!

[Rowdyboy]

39. Compare the class and civility tonight to the snarling McCain/Romney mess last night

Our guys looked like adults

[OnionPatch]

40. I felt the same way.

I started watching the debate thinking I would have a clear preference for one or the other, but I was impressed with both of them. I think either one would be a great president, especially when compared to what we have now.

[earth mom]

41. What are you smokin? Hillary & Obama are corporatists. They don't give a sh*t about YOU.

:puke:

[Marrah_G]

42. You said it ! We had a fantastic field this year..... I am very proud

[Clinton Crusader]

43. OMG! A SANE poster!! You are absolutely correct!

The first debate I actually enjoyed! Two smart, intelligent people. I learned a lot tonight. Fully enjoyed it!

K&R!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
