If tonight was a draw, who does that help?

1. everybody says Obama is a bad debater, so he exceeds expectations

[avaistheone1]

3. True. However, Hillary is a tough as nails. She will not give up.

I admire that. I am very torn.

[Zueda]

6. Nope she probably won't

I could see her going on to convention even if Obama wins the threshold. Her presidency has been planned since the early 90s.

[REDFISHBLUEFISH]

7. Clinton wins everytime her warmer side shows through, It did tonight.

It is going to help her big-time.

[scheming daemons]

2. It keeps the current narrative going....

Obama has spent the past 5 days with serious momentum.... and I think the polls continue to tighten.


But... I don't think it was a draw.... I think the 10-minute sequence on the IWR tipped the debate in Obama's favor.

...and that is what they're talking about on MSNBC, CNN, and FNN for the next news cycle.

4. MSN

for one (= Money)

two Re-pugs

Three people who work in the campaigns

[1620rock]

5. It helps the Democratic party.

[Tom Strong]

8. Tonight wasn't a draw.

You know how you can tell when one side decisively won a debate?

When the other side says it was a draw.

Hillary OWNED Obama tonight.

[NoBorders]

11. owned?

To say that is a stretch is an understatement.

[Tom Strong]

16. She smoked that fool like a dimestore cigar, NoBorders, and sealed the deal in the process. n/t

[NoBorders]

20. Is that you huckabee?

You've got the lines down.

:toast:

[scheming daemons]

12. Ummm....

...the original poster... the one who called it a draw... is a Hillary supporter.

Using your logic, that means that Obama won.


The three cable networks are all saying Obama won or it was a draw. NONE are saying Clinton won.

[Tom Strong]

19. LOL! You sound just like Obama tonight: "Ummm." Hillary wiped both the floor AND her ass with him.

[Blue-Jay]

22. You silver-tongued devil.

the very idea of ass-wiping instantly wins the thread.

[NoBorders]

9. Obama

Because he's not as well 'known' by as many people as HRC (sorry, political junkies on DU don't count). I would guess that a fair number of people voting on 2/5 paid attention to this debate, especially in CA.

Basically, he has more potential upside, whereas most people have already formed an opinion about Clinton.

That's my ironclad 2 second analysis.

[loveangelc]

10. I think Obama won...or maybe Hillary lost.

[Seabiscuit]

13. It helps us - The Democratic Party. The republicans want us fractured going into GE and

its not going to work for them.

[peoli]

14. Its helps Obama. If hillary won it helps Obama and if Obama won it helps Obama.

Everything helps Obama. Nothing can stop him!

[AX10]

23. ROFL

:rofl:

Seriously, Hillary edged him out for a win tonight.

[Malikshah]

15. Everyone.

n/t

[JimGinPA]

17. I support Obama...

But it seemed like the intelligence level of tonight's debate made every republican candidate in yesterday's debate MUCH smaller by comparison.

[adnelson60087]

18. Not the American public, that's for damn sure.

[LibraLiz1973]

21. People who like drawings?

:rofl:

[tekisui]

24. Obama maintains momentum!~
