2008 Primaries Thread

hillary was more straightforward and confident sounding than barack i thought, sadly.

ahaha gibson got zinged

Gibson mocking lib mindset.

lol "we"

Good to see that I have a cynical colleague.

The media frame of the debate will be desperate "shrill" HRC slapped down by Edwards/Obama team.

i hate john edwards

decent edwards here i think! he's not repeating his corny FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT cheerleader shit

I think the media narrative tomorrow will be: "HRC's back."

he's not?

lol i am college grad who just lost job :(

no! he's using specifics and good imagery

i voiced my distaste at the wrong time :(

No, he's annoying...

"If you elect me President, I will work a second job in a mill."

he is annoying, but that speech didnt mention mills, fighting against the corporations, etc

He said "Mills, factories"

he's a step away from ron paul in terms of raving oratory and 'look at me bcuz i am not them' strat

not really but still

wtf @ line item veto

Line Item Veto?!

Light Rail! Line Item Veto!

a microcosm of this boring-ass debate was charlie's softball debate-joke that none of them even swung at!!! no one even whiffed!!! wtf?!!

lol richardson

Richardson, u r dum

FUCK YOU BARACK YOU RUINED THE MOMENTUM OF LULZ

Edwards/Obama are acting like frat boys. Not flattering.

Nice closing by Edwards. That question was tailor-made for HRC, but she was sort of flat with it. Obama is terrible with it (but he's playing protect-defense).

Obama-- "I wish I'd been boringer"

nah him and hillary had to play it safe and just say 'we all did good', what more could you expect

'nah' was an xp

no i don't blame him he just ruined a good moment

i mean obv it's not a coincidence that hillary and obama were the ones who answered it presidentially.

i think the debate was a wash. hillary was best but only marginally, what a boring debate

republican debate was good TV, like some odd reality show

Richardson will be Obama's Secretary of Not Knowing Stuff

i'm still stunned by the collective muttering after gibson's debate joke

debate was good news for mccain for sure

maybe romney's worst showing during the whole race?

debate was good news for mccain for sure

^^^ This, especially if independents now vote for McCain.

hillary looks at least as hot tonight as she did in iowa

^^^this kind of shit makes me want to go all daria on a motherfucker

I think that will be an outlier opinion, but we'll see.

Stephanopolis just said that Edwards seemed the most energetic and vital, so maybe I'm way off-base.

He went for a jog!

Daniel I accidentally posted in tonight's ILNFL thread that i thought step was RONG in his analysis on both debates

idk if you saw it but he said thompson had a great night when he was basically inconsequential

Didn't see it. I generally like Step, tho.

yeah i don't think he's a bad dude by any means but he was off-base tonight

http://news.theage.com.au/edwards-rebukes-clinton-during-debate/20080106-1kd0.html

clinton says 'obama changes'. edwards says that now that things have changed, and he and obama are making changes, hillary has changed. hillary says: "I want to make change but I've already made change," she said. "I'm not just running on a promise of change - I'm running on 35 years of change."

we can spare some change.

yeah i don't think he's a bad dude by any means but he was off-base tonight

I think Step sometimes overcompensates for his role with the Clinton Admin. by being especially tough on the Clintons.

OK, I'm out, guys. I'm going to the White Room to get knockered.

Nite.
