Debate format Error: Barrack should have spoke last!!!!!!! !!!! !!!!!! !!!!!!! |
|
On 1/31 - Obama spoke first and Clinton spoke last (remember she plugged her national town hall on the halmark channel). On 2/21 - Clinton spoke first and Clinton spoke last.
This is a big deal. Essentially she got to open and close the debate. I don't think this was by design. They said barrack chose to go second... probable because he was going to get to speak last. Which he didn't get...

8. The implication is the debate wasn't supposed to end with that question... |
|
now they may have cut it short because they went long on health care.

He thinks he's going second, all of a sudden he's going first. I've been in that situation and it causes you to be flustered. Plus Hilly got a few extra minutes to get ready, and then got to go out on her canned high note.

9. Even so he still won the debate |
|
And I think Obama will get some latino votes in Texas considering the way people walked out of her speech in Texas.

15. Yeah I noticed that too. |
|
Happens every debate that I've seen -- they try to knock Obama off his game by breaking their own rules in ways that always, always favor Hilly. Questions are framed to include favorable spin and quotes, the order is suddenly switched so Obama has to go first on a tough question, etc etc.
Nice try mockingbirds but you're not slowing the O train with your lame tricks.

19. with 3% undecideds, does it even really matter anymore? |
|
hillary's last gasp for air.
she closed very strong. people won't give a shit about plagiarism - for either candidate. but it's just too little, too late.
