Reply #16: I liked the debate I also "lol"ed a few times which is good

I think the Democratic party is fun and this debate seemed a little more lively and entertaining than some others. I can only imagine how awkward the republicans will be in it (I won't be watching to find out though).

Biden always does really well in these debates but never good enough to truly break out like John Kerry did in the debates. He does well but only as a sidenote, not the main attraction unfortunately but I still really like him and think he's make a good VP pick and of course Sec. of State for the next Pres if it is not Joes.

Obama is still improving. I'm glad he was getting some applause and laugh lines in there. He does MUCH better when he is relaxed than when he tries to be all stern. I wish he had better handlers to prep him for these debates so we can see more of the relaxed and charming Obama and not the nervous and lecturing Obama.

Clinton did very well. She is calculating and precise like a machine. She knows all the right talking points and can gauge how to tweak an applause line. I would consider her the winner if I wasn't a little creeped out by just how machine like she is able to work a debate!

Gravel wasn't as obnoxious in this debate as before. He still needs to be left out though along with Dodd and Richardson who always seem to bring nothing interesting to the table.
