5. As it should have done.
Last night I saw a lot of Hillary supporters saying it nailed the media on their supposed Obama-bedazzlement. But it also had fun with Hillary's tendency to discount any primary she loses, which was to be expected from any candidate at first but is now sounding more and more like the old Monty Python "It's just a flesh wound!" protestation.

6. Exactly
It was a very funny and even handed bashing of Obama, Hillary AND the MSM.

Just as good political satire should be.

I also like Tina Fey's bit during update --which was both supportive of and a realistic assessment of Hillary done in a humorous vein.

4. This was pretty funny
and I think it parodied both candidates equally.

7. Cute.
Though it is true that the media is giving Obama preference.
I am not attracted to that at all.
Go Hillary!

8. So cute, but the debate time seemed nominated by Hillary.
The hard questions were launched in both directions while Barack deflected them with the most accuracy and skill. Hillary was all over the place slapping Obama with plagiarizing his speeches while she slung her "Xerox" slogan and copied her mantras from her husband and John Edwards. Although Barack was calm and methodical with an inclusive demeanor, Hillary spoke out on her position to push through universal health care with everyone contributing to make it work for all.The final standby O was for Hillary as she humbly praised Obama and endeared herself as sensitively working for the middle class.

That's my general highlights view.

It wasn't as funny, but it's how I saw it.
