23. I was thinking they had two
people who worked for Bill Clinton doing the analysis in James Carville and David Gergen.

That hardly seemed objective.

I thought JC Watts was an odd choice too, but I did agree with him that Hillary won the debate big time.

She said absolutely nothing and got away with it which is perfect strategy for someone siutting on a big lead.

17. Well it is the same point
In my opinion republicans are dying to go against Clinton, so naturally republicans are going to say she won. It is the same reason Pat Buchanan says Hillary wins every debate on MSNBC. As to why CNN would put them on, you figure it out.

19. I understand your point, but the reality is they will try to destroy any Democratic candidate
The one answer that was made crystal clear was the Supreme Court, and they ALL are on the right side of that issue

20. In the general election
they will attack any Democratic candidate. That doesn't mean that they don't care who the Democratic nominee is. They want the candidate they think they can beat. It is ridiculous that partisans are asked to critique a debate, because obviously their positions are less than sincere.

16. Everyone of the Democratic candidates left no doubt where they stood on the Supreme Court
and whoever wins the nomination in 2008, that is a big part of what this election is about

11. The Debate had a horrible format
Just when a candidate was to the point of wrapping up their position and giving it the final high-lite, Wolf would interrupt them. I think it really threw the candidates off. Please next time, give them some sort of que instead of the moderator interrupting and spoiling things.

Wolf is one strange cat.

24. Do you meant to imply that the 5 corporations that control virtually the entire American
media market are somehow skewed in favor of the wife of the man that gave them their quintopoly?

I'm utterly shocked, shocked, do you hear me, that you would make such an unwarranted accusation. Those fine American (OK, 1 French, but we hate them, so lets just pretend they're American) institutions would never, never I say, stoop to such a degrading position simply to influence an election.
