Edwards lost! Edwards lost!
Well, like I do right before every debate ends...I predict that the stupid media will try and convince everyone that "Edwards lost!!". I'll assume clinton "won" and Obama was "refreshing"...which is also what they say after every debate.

Sooo, let me be first to tell you before the media does: Edwards lost! Edwards lost!

1. I don't recall them ever saying that
They mostly just ignore him and say that Hillary won since she's the frontrunner and no one (but especially Obama) took her down.

17. They usu. say that because it's true. I've watched all the debates.

I'm not a Hillary supporter, and no big fan of hers. I'm undecided.

But there's no doubt about it: She has done extremely well in all the debates and has not made any big mistakes. She is a deft politician and a smooth operator.

That's why "they" say she won. Because she did.

But not tonight. She got caught in the crosshairs several times, and she made some other mistakes. So the pundits are NOT saying that she "won" tonight. See how that works? If she really does win, they say so. If she really does not, they say so.

5. Nope! Obama lost!
You lose! :P

Unfortunately for my candidate, that's how Buchanan and the others are spinning it. :eyes:

Everyone should be required to turn off their set following a presidential debate, particularly when said debate appears on a cable news channel.

9. He won this one really
He took the fight to Clinton and she was forced to really defend herself and came across to me as pretty arrogant.

10. Good
Missed the debate but it sounds like things panned out as they should have. She is pretty arrogant.

12. Edwards has started to find "his voice" and is putting it out there. I hope tonight's
performance by him gets him some campaign dollars.

11. Actually they are saying Edwards won
and that he was able to take Hillary down on a few things. They have been talking about it for the last 45 min.
