Obama trying to pre-empt Hillary's nastiness, I see.

Sorry Barack, not buying that line about you being Hillary's "friend". lol.

Yeah, but he can't exactly say on air that he hates Hillary. Tongue

Hmm, the real time reaction seemed to favor Hillary's opening better. Maybe the participants favor Hillary - we'll see.

Where is that?

CNN has the real-time reaction up on their website.  Check the top right video section for "real-time reaction".

Obama has been really good with specifics and citing experts and whatnot during this debate thus far.

Obama makes a lot of sense when he talks about health care... unfortunately, Clinton has the "universal health care" buzzword on her side.

Well Clinton is somewhat higher on the reaction meter... if that actually means anything.

I recall her pretty well always being higher in every debate.

I know I'm an Obama supporter and all that, but Obama is really impressing me tonight thus far.

I'm becoming pretty much convinced that the real-time respondents are stacked (probably accidentally) with Hillary supporters.  The moment she starts talking the bar rises even before she's even said anything at all.

I think it's a good move.  People keep saying over and over that he's all talk, no substance, and I think he's doing a good job at proving them completely and utterly wrong.

I just flipped to the raw debate.  The real-time reaction was just annoying me.

Mitt Romney's head probably just exploded over that previous discussion.

Obama: "Don't blame immigrants for these problems."

Going after the Hispanic vote, I see. Tongue

Is it just me, or does the audience applaud absolutely everything that these two say?

The tracker people piss me off - they dip into a slight negative when Obama starts and hasn't even said anything.

Just flip to the debate itself - that's what I did.

Obama seems to be courting the Hispanic vote quite aggressively tonight.
