"iraqis have to get serious" hahaha

yeah who do these liberals think they are, applauding liberal policy ideas from a future president

lol at all the dumb-ass NASA questions getting ignored

As good a writer as Obama is, I can't FATHOM how he can't cite geopolitical data like HRC did re Syria and Jordan to support his foreign policy.

haha I love that they're bringing up "100 years" as often as possible

He's less wonky and specific, Alfred, but he's plenty wonky and can be very specific. And this is his best debate, by far (of those I've seen).

100 years + 'i will hate gooks as long as i live' needs to be a moveon.org ad like now

obama is ultra-sharp; just because he isnt saying what you in particular want to hear doesnt mean he's not totally on his game

he was um-ing and uh-ing a lot at the start but now hes killing it

though im tired as all the people hes met at townhall meetings

i know the "we" thing is part of his whole campaign but, like, dude, we get it, you met a bunch of people who embody every policy issue ok

100 years + 'i will hate gooks as long as i live' needs to be a moveon.org ad like now

Sadly, I think this line helps McCain. I would stay away from this one.

good answer

(Obama)

yeah i kinda agree with daniel on this one, along the lines of trying to knock bush for being to everyman

surge: demolished

Rhetorically, "ums" and "ohs" are only a problem if they're used to fill gaps of silence. That isn't how Obama uses those verbal crutches.

Don't worry: He's a far more dynamic speaker than the GOP nominee will be.

will Blitzer ask them what exactly they intend to in Afghanistan?

jesus christ wulf blitzer

yeah, voters just want a guy they can get a beer & hate gooks with

they keep citing Afghanistan as a failure -- what would they do?

hey maybe they'll talk about it lol

good answer, Hils.

obama needs to say that he DID anticipate how fucked-up the war should be

this is a huge hole in the clinton candidacy

hey wait its 9:30 isnt this over

yeah, this all comes across was pretty terrible waffling

uh xp

Yeah, I don't think her answer here is very powerful.

wait what just happened?? why are they booing???

Obama needs to arguge that his background makes him a more credible anti-Islamic terror candidate than HRC.

wolf said "so did you just say you were naive in trusting the president" or some shit

wolf bloltzer

xp

he tried to nail her by asking if she was naive in trusting bush's case for war

xp

Big problems for HRC on this point. She won't have the clean debate with McCain that Obama will. And McCain will try to hug her on this point and blur distinctions.

i don't think it's a huge hole in her campaign for her to say she trusted bush not to be a deranged war freak

how awesome that blitzer is the first to get booed

Ohhhhhhhh. Advantage: Obama.

Obama nees to tell this Hollywood-lefty crowd, "These terrorists hate fags and secularists like you. This adminstration's no better. Let's come together!"

also barack is making this distinction without looking like an asshole

xxxxp

That look by HRC is priceless. She would rip Obama limb-from-limb with her bare hands if the cameras weren't running.

FINALLY

"the terrorist threat, Isreal..."

ayo

I think the clean debate with McCain is that he wants to stay in Iraq for 100 years..

why do reporters boast about being in "the spin room"?? christ

i feel like im taking crazy pills every time somebody tells me 'i will hate gooks for as long as i live' works in mccain's favor

I missed the first part of the debate, so I ask: were they asked about the crowing on the right about the success of the surge? This is what McCain is going to discuss for weeks.

oh jeez wtf sex and violence questions

I don't grok the argument that being able to say you were against the war from the start is a useful point to make in a debate vs McCain in which the subject is: what do we do now.

That racist McCain comment is just old news. Old news is old news. I also think Barack being against the war from the start is old news and not a useful answer to the questions about current policy...

hey there's spielberg, where's morbs?

Ugh, I hate this stuff. Now comes the part where everyone has to talk about how they worry about what kids are watching on MTV.
