Jan. 21 CNN Dem. debate in South Carolina *live commentary thread*

[Everett]

Worst. Question. Ever.

[Alcon]

Agreed with Everett.  Horrible question.

[Meeker]

What an "important question".

[exopolitician]

Worst. Question. Ever.

it has to be answered on "this important day in america" that Blitzer has been quoted saying hundred times or so in the past 2 hours.

[Lief 🗽]

Wolf Blitzer: "We are completely out of time, but we have time for another question."

LOL

[Gabu]

"We are completely out of time... but wait, no, we're actually not, here's another question."

Also, Martin Luther King?  Obama should just say, "I'M A NIGGA FROM THE HOOD LIKE MY HOMIE".

[Meeker]

King would endorse Obama. No question.

[exopolitician]

Shes going the wrong way with this....she didnt even answer the question correctly. FIGURES....

[NHPolitico]

King would endorse Obama. No question.

I wonder if MLK would be happy that Obama speaks like a preacher sometimes for the effect of it or be annoyed that he's stealing his style.

[CultureKing]

overall a pretty fun debate, there were more interesting parts in this one than others.

[Meeker]

God bless Candy Crowley. She's pushing the Edwards above-the-fray message.

[MarkWarner08]

Obama's last response was perfect. He succinctly made the case for change, avoided a verbal trap, and reinforced the tenets of his candidacy. For the first time all night, Hillary looked discombobulated and offered only a  disjointed response.

[perdedor]

Well, final thoughts:

Edwards plays the adult. Clinton goes about in circles. Obama goes about in squares. Obama made good points, Edwards made good points, Clinton made no point. Fun debate to watch.

Victory Edwards.

[Everett]

... I feel kind of sorry for Edwards now. It was heartwarming. ;-;

[Verily]

... I feel kind of sorry for Edwards now. It was heartwarming. ;-;

Only in the sense that everyone will say he "won" the debate, but no one will vote for him.

[War on Want]

Well, final thoughts:

Edwards plays the adult. Clinton goes about in circles. Obama goes about in squares. Obama made good points, Edwards made good points, Clinton made no point. Fun debate to watch.

Victory Edwards.

[exopolitician]

Everyone cept Clinton did exceedingly well....she bombed...the end.

[Lief 🗽]

Granted, I thought Clinton lost the NH debate, and yet it still gave her a bump.

[Meeker]

It seems from CNN's initial post-election coverage that all that's going to be talked about is the bitter fights in the first half between Hillary and Obama. Victory Edwards

[angus]

Martin Luther King? 

The constant references to MLK reminded me of the episode of "The Boondocks" featuring the ghost of MLK.  I kept waiting for someone to quote from, or at reference, that episode.  Obama came closest.  He did at least say, "He wouldn't endorse any of us."  Well, as the Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr. himself might say, "Amen."

[tik 🪀✨]

Vote for Edwards. I can't bear to see his glistening eyes bring tears down his puffy yet defined cheekbones ;-;

He's a son of the south for god's sake!!!!

[Everett]

He's a son of the south for god's sake!!!!

because we haven't had enough of those yet ;-;

[tik 🪀✨]

He's a son of the south for god's sake!!!!

because we haven't had enough of those yet ;-;

Don't you see? His charming accent and demeanor will win the hearts of rural America!

;-;

[Gabu]

ignoring the south makes me sad ;-;

Yes, but Obama was the one ganged up on today. Although, unlike Clinton in NH, he successfully defended himself.
