CNN and Wolf Blitzer : Clinton Network News

They will stay on Health Care thinking she has advantage. 

Obama is strong on this also and it will backfire

yes... because healthcare is a Clinton-voter concern only.

It's a BIG issue for Democrats full stop.

Great response by Obama on bringing Republicans together on Health Care.

She cannot

Good luck on that.

This reminds me of the Howard-Rudd debate.

"The ticker! oh please God won't someone think of the ticker!!!" (or worm in our case)

Vote Hillary if you want to stay Iraq in 4ever.

Hillary will bring us out of Iraq, she just said that.  McCain wants to keep us in there for 100 years.

Eraserhead needs his moments. Hillary has a sensible plan as opposed to Obama's "OK... they're out.... now come give me a HUG!"

I support Obama because he pronounces Pakistan correctly.


Which would be a step up from his last comments on Pakistan.

Someone should ask the Democrats.  Do you want to win, or do you want to withdraw?

Even Bush seems to have given up on "winning"

Good answer.  No government intervention on parental issues.

Um... that might be a stretch to take that from what he's saying.

MSNBC calling this debate "Barack Obama's best debate performance".

That wouldn't exactly be hard.

I think it was his best one.  He really impressed me all night long.

From the snippets I was able to hear he did do very well. He FINALLY got substantive policy stuff in... even though his immigration plan is the only one I prefer to Clinton's (it wasn't covered... but in general)

You're filthy Vands.

It looks as though Obama has gotten the message that oratory "group hugs" isn't going to get the job done - and if you want to get your policy message out you cannot rely on the net, since there are many people (especially older) who are very uncomfortable with the internet, and he HAS to get the nuts and bolts out.
