1. No surprise. Kos supports Obama.

[mckeown1128]

10. What are you going to do claim that the democratic party

has an Obama bias...when he wins the nomination.

[avaistheone1]

16. I thought Kos supports HIllary

[AndyA]

2. I don't get the Obama thing at all.

He was really, truly, awful tonight. The GOP will chew him up and spit him out if he's the nominee.

[mac2]

6. We have candidates who can't win

That's the idea don't you think?

[rodeodance]

7. he generally does so poorly that tonight he comes across as a rock star.

[mac2]

14. He tells people what they want to hear...

but from experience living in his state I can tell you...you won't get it.

[cali]

8. clearly, you're in a distinct minority. n/t

[avaistheone1]

17. There have not been enough primaries yet to come to that conclusion.

[Colobo]

9. No, he was awesome tonight.

He will make you proud in November, Andy.

12. What I saw, Obama was pretty good.

Considering he's winning both the cnn and dailykos poll, has to make you think a bit.

Sure online polls can be gamed, but why would only one candidate's supporters be doing that? Especially since Edwards used to win the dailykos polls by wide margins?

3. DU has a lot of Edwards supporters right now

A lot of people here who are still bristling at the fact Obama mentioned Reagan. So I'd take the claims that "Edwards won" with a grain of salt, although he did well for himself. I think Hill actually did the worst -- she was the only one who got booed.

4. They poll themselves to verify what they mostly know already.

[The_Casual_Observer]

Kos was leading the dance on Hillary's grave. For all we know the

poll numbers were made up by Kos.

[ursi]

5. that is interesting considering their long term support of Edwards this past year

[Occam Bandage]

11. CNN claims Obama won. Kos claims Obama won. DU's Hillarites claim Obama fell on his face. Hmm.

[Colobo]

13. They can't handle Obama's great performance tonight.

[OneGrassRoot]

15. 'tis a mystery indeed....

Focus groups, even some Obama people here said he did very well (a HUGE testament about the debate). By tomorrow morning, it'll be interesting to see if his name is mentioned as they focus on the animosity between Clinton and Obama during the first part of the debate.

Aside from him not getting as much media as the other two PRIOR to Iowa - and I'm not talking about IN Iowa, I mean nationally - I remain stunned at the blatant shut-out after Iowa. IMMEDIATELY after Iowa's results came in, and even though he came second...he WASN'T a distant third...I literally taped several news shows and his name was mentioned in passing. It was all Clinton and Obama. And, at that stage, he was RELEVANT.

He was painted as irrelevant. I'm not saying that's the entire issue with his campaign, but what happened directly after Iowa set a huge tone for the average viewer.

I realize he focused on Iowa and counted on a huge win. That's not my point. My point is how people keep trying to say he has been irrelevant the entire time, but he had a strong showing in Iowa and got NO ATTENTION for it.

As DK's supporters remind us all, it could happen to your candidate, too...we should all be outraged.

And, to me, press is press. Good or bad (if you're IN the news you'll have a chance to defend bad press if you're smart). But to get NO PRESS. What can you do with that?

[OneGrassRoot]

18. BTW, I think Obama did very well in the second half. n/t

[mac2]

19. How did Hillary and Obama waste so much time arguing?

This left little time for other issue and candidates like Edwards. Who was the moderator...I missed the whole thing since I have made up my mind.

20. KOS switched to Obama after kerry's endosement. You're polling supporters.
