3. He could not hold his own in terms of the issues against Clinton and Edwards.
Obama demonstrated himself to be third rate in this debate.

16. He really should have waited till he was more seasoned. He
got eaten alive tonight. I don't think he is very good at debating. He is much better at whipping a crowd into a frenzy with his revival meeting style. And that is not a dis. It is a good talent.

6. You hate Obama.
Theres not a single person here that doesnt know that. You are perhaps the LEAST objective poster on DU. For real.

If you werent so hate filled... you might realize that they all did a great job tonight. But whatever. Carry on with your hate fest.

29. RE: the 'hate' theory
That's a good one, but I've also been struck by the viciousness *and* the brevity of proud2be's posts. (At least the one's that I've noticed.)

They follow a familiar pattern -- a paragraph, or two or three, at most. In many posts, there's not a single further reply to comments, or direct questions.

Which leads me to personally question the actual depth of that 'hate'. I'm thinking maybe the dude just posts the most divisive, nasty comments he can, to rile up as many D.U.'ers as possible, and then runs away laughing -- all the way back to whatever republican sites he relies on for news and commentary, and back-and-forth discussion.

7. Nope ... :(
He really didn't do well.

When you have Edwards -- a staunch critic of Hillary -- defending Hillary... you know it's a bad night for Obama.

I do love these three.
I hate to say it -- but I have come to like all three of them ... even when I disagree with them.

I am a Hillary supporter -- but it will be sad to see this passion go away.

Republicans so bring the debate down ... they dumb down the debates.

11. I think so also
He needs to be more forceful like Clinton and Edwards; he feels his way to much instead of knowing his way and spitting it out forcefully.

14. Pretty much, yea
He's getting testier as he slips in the polls and loses primaries. This kind of green-thumbed withering is the last thing we need to see matched up again the Republicans in the fall.

19. Objective assessment
Edited on Mon Jan-21-08 10:25 PM by alcibiades_mystery
from the board's #1 flame bait shit spammer.

Incisive.

The real question is, how many negative original posts can Proud2B spam the board with in 1 hour? Just how much credibility can one guy lose in an hour? The world waits with baited breath.

26. Her defense of Bill's insinuation was patently path-e-tic.
