Halperin - Time Says Obama Wins
I'd disagree with him on substance, I thought Obama was at least as substantive as Hillary. But maybe that depends on whether you think we should talk to our enemies or not. I also don't know what in the world he could have seen in Hillary's style, but here's his score card just the same.

http://thepage.time.com

H = B
O = B+

Not a huge win, but as he says, it was Hillary's debate to win by a landslide, and she simply couldn't do it.

BTW--point out his rankings!

Obama
------------
Substance = C+
Style= B
Offense=A
Defense=A-

Hillary
------------
Substance = A-
Style = B+
Offense=D-(ouch!)
Deffense=C

7. When I was at work tonight I was talking to someone on the phone
Edited on Fri Feb-22-08 12:24 AM by zidzi
who was watching the debate and I mentioned Obama had a cold last night and wondered how that was affecting him. This person didn't think you could tell Obama had a cold but then he also said that it was a "love fest"..so I'm not so sure about his interpretation.

I imagine it would have to affect him somewhat..cause I'm getting over a cold and it's been awful.

5. you know they always run in someone that appears out of no
damn where and gives the most convoluted opinions about shit that makes no sense. Thats like david gergin on giving his opinion cause he served in 4 white houses, but what the hell did he do? then you have donna brazile that has not liked the clintons since 2000 and did not use bill in florida and bill had jsut won the state 4 years earlier...oh donna starts out with pretty words for hrc and then bam, goes negative and then flowers obama with praise. you got tim russert with visions of clintons cock circling his head. you got chris mathews who is still having trembles since the last time he heard obama speak, and he is still pissed at bill and hrc for not hiring him as press sect.and instead hired joe lockhart. just a few of the mediawhores we have to put up with every damn day....all of them seems to have drank the obama kool aid....
