I predict more Superdelegate endorsements for Obama after this debate.
It seemed to me it was a set up for that very purpose. Not for the American people or the Pennsylvania voters, because the die is already cast in that regard. She simply can't catch up with him.

It was purely for the benefit of the undecided SD's -- to see for themselves who is best qualified to maintain dignity and focus on real issues when under the attack of the moronic rw opposition.

Guess who won, folks! The one who has the most faith that Americans can think for themselves.

1. I agree....because Obama actually addressed the SDs with his closing
remarks.

Hillary had a tag team to do a pile-on, and Barack had the people. ABC and Hillary gambled that we were that stupid (again), and lost.

6. Hillary even talked about how much baggage she had... not too artful.

5. spin it post debate you mean?
or do you mean the debate itself was the spin? i only saw it on the internets live, so i missed the post-game. Did Chuckie and Georgie say anything worthwhile that I missed?

3. yes exactly!!
They both were warned a few weeks ago, that they needed to stick to the issues and attack John McCain.

Barack tried several times to get back to the issues and admonished the media for not giving the American people what they wanted, which is issues.

She LOST!

4. SDs will know that Wright, Ayers and Rezko will never be brought up again.

7. Rezko is a dead horse (except to HRC supporters), Ayers hurts Clinton way more (pardons)
And Wright has already been dealt with.

9. good point... they made it an even deader horse tonight.
So I'm still wondering, was there method in their madness? Or do they really believe the American people are so stupid?

8. I agree
How Hillary thought she could win by pissing off the vast majority of voters, I'm not sure. No SD will back her
after tonight. Any of them up for elective office will know how long this will resonate.

making your statements not that relevant.

17. I predict it's not really a prediction since it already happened.
Superdelegates have already switched this morning.

But I like how your post is an accurate representation of Clinton supporter political aptitude.

13. ABC, Charles and George all looked silly tonight. KO didn't come
right out and say that but the nuance was there. BO not only had to debate HRC, but Charlie, George and MCain (in a way). He didn't lose it (like I would) kept calm and cool. He handled the pressure but I would guess this is the last debate you will ever see Barack in unless it's McCain. And they will make sure it's not a zoo like tonight was.
