I'm Edwards all the way but I think Obama is winning the debate.

He's specific and on target.

I think Edwards and Hillary are both doing very well as well.

These 3 bury anything the repukes have to offer

3. You would have to pay me to listen the Rudy "911" Guliani.

Has Rudy trademarked the term "911" yet?

6. Obama is bringing some new ideas

and not just the same old talking points. When he can talk about 34 kids being gunned down in Chicago schools, that's something every American will care about. I think he laid out the issues on Iraq superbly as well. There's no way anybody can use that stupid 2013 argument again, or see a difference on terrorist groups in Iraq with Edwards unless they're grasping at straws. He was so funny on the question of Latino voters too.

7. I like Edwards. He has steered the entire party toward

progressive issues and views. During the first and early part of the campaign, Obama and Hillary dealt primarily with the issues and agenda of the Republicans. The debates reflected that. Edwards interjected his progressive views on the issues and the entire debate (defined specifically as well as broadly) has shifted.

I fear what would happen to their focus and their views if either Hillary or Obama were on their own -- no longer pushed toward the progressive by Edwards.

9. I only watched the first 1/2 hour. I also thought they answered

the first round of gender, race questions well-Let's move forward. Although Edwards looked more relaxed and on target to me.

10. Sorry, Can't Agree!

Has he VOICED an original opinion?
If so I haven't caught him at it.
He seem to me to be repeating everything Edwards says and THEN the moderators give him extra time!
Are you SURE you are Edwards ALL THE WAY?

13. I am, honest! I supported him when he ran in 2004

I just think Obama came across very measured and presidential.

But I think Edwards did quite well, also.

I think Obama "won" but it wasn't by much.

Again, I thought all three looked strong. But that's just my two cents.

12. I thought they all did well

but Obama especially.

Seriously though, all our candidates look great next to what's on the GOP menu.
