1. Hillary did more than win the debate, she ran away with it last night..

Obama's answers were fraught with double speak. He never said he would bring the troops home (deploy is his favorite word) Deploy them where? Is my question. The gay marriage/civil union answer. Clever, repetitious, stump speak cloaked in nuanced responses.

According to the poll, alamom, Hillary is beginning to tip into the 50's. Thanks for posting it!

if you ask these people:

4. You belong in that spin room. According to the poll, more people said she *lost* the debate

than said the same about either Obama, Edwards, or Biden.

5. What counts are voters. Clearly the voters in NH and other cities

feel differently. It does not matter what the media may state. They are clearly becoming another FAUX news CNN, MSNBC ETC. The voters are the ones who will be in the voting booth pulling the lever not the media. The voters clearly states Obama one.

2. Hillary vs. Obama- The real race.

I wish we could see a debate between the two. Face to face.

9. According to the USA analysis, the race is between Obama and Edwards..

Hillary is so far ahead, second place is the race to watch.

Edwards is steadily gaining on Obama.I predict he will overtake Obama within a month! There's your race!

She is already appealing to people for the general election

She is a brilliant strategist
