An inevitable poll: Who won the debate?

[Elspeth]

[book_worm]

1. Edwards with Clinton second and Obama third

Obama got better as the night went on, but he had a very shaky start I thought.

[557188]

7. I think Clinton and Edwards were basically tied...but give a slight edge to Clinton

Obama was horrible early on. Anyone who says he won the debate is bias or wasn't paying attention.

[MrsT]

2. I realize everyone else is going to just vote for "their" candidate anyway but

I didn't think it was Senator Clinton's best performance. I'd say Obama came across a bit better.

[countryjake]

9. Edwards is not "my candidate", but I think he won the debate...

by a landslide.

[JeanGrey]

36. He's not mine either but he did. He showed some class,

unlike the other two.

[Elspeth]

3. Boy, Edwards made a favorable impression

...

[maddiejoan]

4. Edwards won

Hillary remained stable

Obama melted (but got in some funny soundbites)

[Elspeth]

12. Melted?

?

[maddiejoan]

14. Melted

Didn't get his footing back until the third act.

He seemed unsure and fumbly --and worse --he lost his Obamaness.

[Elspeth]

25. Ah. Ok.

She knocked him off his pins. But at a cost.

[maddiejoan]

43. not a huge cost for Hillary

she fired up her base.

[JeanGrey]

37. Hillary stable? ROTFLMAO

Boy.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

5. Whoever you supported in the first place.

That candidate always wins all debates.

[Elspeth]

11. I supported Dennis, so my choice is different this time.

:)

[gateley]

6. None of the above. I liked some of what they all said, and didn't like some of

what they all said. I still don't have a clear favorite of the three, nor have I discounted any of them.

Edit to add (like you care) -- I think Hillary's "slum lord" charge against Obama was downright slimy, and had nothing to do with the debate or the issues, and that Obama handled it well.

[Elspeth]

10. I was missing Dennis

He should have been there.

[gateley]

15. Yes he should have been. I was REALLY missing Biden, too. nt

[bdamomma]

27. yea, I miss hearing Joe talk.

I think I will call his office tomorrow and just say thanks and he is sorely missed.

And as far as Dennis, what the media is doing to him is shameful. I have never seen such alienation before to keep a presidential candidate out.

[JeanGrey]

38. THANK YOU.

[sunonmars]

8. Obama just collapsed under the weight of attack

He didnt even answer the 50 billion hole in fiscal responsibility, nothing in it at all. Thats huis problem, no substance and it showed tonight.

[leftcoastie]

13. I'm an Edwards supporter,

(and that's my bias) but as a democrat I think they all did well. It is clear to me that any, ANY OF THE THREE would stand heads and shoulders in policy over any republican that becomes the nominee. We will have to make sure all citizens that are REGISTERED GET TO VOTE, because the repugs will certainly attempt to steal it. It's all they have left, there are no issues other than terrorism, security and the middle east while people keep sinking into poverty in America. Look how that's helping Rudee.

It's real apparent they're all winners (all policy issues will adjust if we make them issues, just as Edwards issues are becoming forefront discussions) and it will be up to us to win the general no matter who is our nominee.

16. The winner's flag

[Elspeth]

20. Sigh.

:(

[TahitiNut]

22. Ain't that the truth!

:puke:

[Elspeth]

24. I take it that you are a "Don't Taze me bro!" vote?

:)

[ProudDad]

30. Fraid so

That's why I'm working with my neighbors down here in Tucson to build our own sustainable future.

Can't depend on the corporate owned politicians to help anybody...


Although it can be discouraging here too. I recently found out that here in the land of 340 days of year of sunshine our local power company generates electricity with...












Wait for it....









Coal!!!! :puke:

[TahitiNut]

32. Must be because it's so ....

... convenient. :rofl:

[emilyg]

17. Clinton/Edwards

[sunonmars]

19. What a tag team that was

They took him apart tonight, he looked like a little boy in the middle. Not good. totally decimated. That "present" is going to hurt him bad

[leftofthedial]

18. the corporate oligarchy

as always

[dorkulon]

21. McCain won.

Being a subject in the debate is a big boost for his campaign, just like when the Repugs bring up Hillary.

[Elspeth]

23. McCain certainly came up as the one to beat

I guess that puts him up above Mitt.

[robbedvoter]

39. Fraid so, They all bent over to paint him as the big scary monster that

only the best of them can face.

[enigmatic]

26. Edwards

He wone me over tonight. Hillary took out Obama w/ Edwards' help; Obama had a bad night.

[Stinky The Clown]

28. I can say for sure who LOST the debate tonight ......

Leslie Blitzer

He lost control of the debate

His (very affected) vocal cadence was alls hot to hell tonight, too.

[Elspeth]

29. I still don't understand why he's the one in charge of them

Now THERE is an asshat.

[ProudDad]

31. Was there another corporate owned "debate"???

:boring: :boring: :boring:

[Breeze54]

33. CNN & the CBC (the Congressional Black Caucus)

:puke:

Turncoat MOFO's! :grr:

[Elspeth]

34. Turncoats?

Why?

[Breeze54]

40. CBC invited DK in MAY to this debate and then reneged on it at the last minute.

They apparently don't believe MLK's position on Freedom and Freedom of Speech

[Elspeth]

41. That sucks. Dennis should have been there.

I wonder what happened.

[Breeze54]

42. CNN & M$M !!

The corporate powers that be! :grr:

[JeanGrey]

35. Edwards. Clinton and Obama looked like little children

someone needed to slap and put to bed. Ugh.
