A Not-So-Hot Night for Obama

[wyldwolf]

The good news for Barack Obama: MSNBC is the lowest rated of the three cable news networks. Obama delivered a lackluster performance at the Democratic debate aired by MSNBC on Wednesday night. His answers too often were listless and formulaic. He made few connections between his noble rhetoric and real-world matters. He did nothing to distinguish himself as the anti-Hillary. John Edwards, on the other hand, was fiery and forceful. He came across as sure-footed and knowledgeable. And Hillary Clinton plowed ahead, demonstrating her confidence and her command of facts and policies. Obama's people say he had a cold and was feeling poorly. I believe them, for it showed. It really showed.

One debate does not a campaign make, of course. But Obama at some point is going to have to make a clear and compelling case that he is better than she is. He did not do so this round.

1. I will give Obama credit for one thing (Yea i know thats a first)

He did not partake in the witch hunt against Hillary which was a good thing, because it backfired. At least it showed he does have some class.

3. So says a Hillary supporter.

And, this online poll disagrees--> http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20997509/

Barack did just fine last night. He wasn't at his best, but he was definitely better than Hillary.

4. Obama is 20 points plus behind Hillary

And you want to use a unscientific vote? Good luck with that.

5. If you likes giggles and half truths, then Clinton is Your Giggling Girl

If you wanted solid answers that weren't the usual claptrap, Obama was Your Man.

Whatever... let's giggle our way into Iran...
