1. i just saw him on cnn, he seems like an asshat, am i wrong?

i've never seen him before, i've read some of his stuff but this is the first time i've seen him on camera.

[maddiejoan]

2. According to Maddiejoan

Obama B-, Hillary B+, Edwards A++

[Beausoir]

25. According to Beausoir...Maddiejoan has it right.

BTW, Beausoir likes Maddijoan a whole lottsa.

Maddiejoan is good people.

3. What? One of the top representatives of the Mainstream media says Hillary didn't win?

Imagine my shock. Seriously.

LOL

[MadBadger]

7. Um, Chris Matthews Im pretty sure was fawning over Her "Power Play" at last weeks' debate.

[bartholomewjohn]

16. That's because our intense pressure scared Matthews

Or are you going to pretend that the curious timing of Matthews' sudden and unlikely praise for Hillary had nothing to do with him being brought to his knees by Media Matters and other progressive voices?

[Joe the Revelator]

11. After the last debate, the line that Hillary doesn't have her fans in the media is absurd.

[bartholomewjohn]

17. So you mean you agree that before last debate that was not the case?

n/t

[ursi]

24. I'm shocked too! Seriously!

[Proud2BAmurkin]

4. Halperin is most famous for saying "Drudge rules my world." nt

[bartholomewjohn]

8. true n/t

[red2blue]

5. he must have been watching another debate

John Edwards whipped their ass

[Hawkeye-X]

6. Edwards A+

Clinton F
Obama F
Media F

They don't need to use the platform to snipe each other and leave Edwards in the cold. It's so fucking wrong.

[THUNDER HANDS]

9. my grades

Obama - B
Clinton - C
Edwards - B

[sandnsea]

10. Hillary C, Obama A, Edwards B+

Truth has to count for something.

[Guaranteed]

22. That sounds about right. Might give Clinton a bit more,

but Obama- just by putting up with as much as he did while maintaining, and even hitting back- really nailed this one.

[sandnsea]

26. She loses points for hypocrisy

Bringing up Rezko with THEIR history??? Oh spare me.

[BringBigDogBack]

30. the way I saw it

[Sparkly]

12. I didn't see it that way.

They all were in different positions, with different goals, I think.

Edwards was able to shine quite a bit, and stayed out of the fire.

Clinton wanted to be aggressive, and she damn sure was.

I think this was Obama's worst debate, because he was put back on his heels early on and seemed flustered for much of the rest of the debate. His polished confidence wasn't quite as lustrous as it usually is.

Just my honest opinion.

[Barack_America]

13. I disagree.

I think that Edwards started out very, very strong, but allowed himself to be overlooked towards the end. Oddly enough, the more he is included, the less he asserts himself in his answers.

I don't think that Obama was spectacular, but he was consistent throughout the debate. He had the crowd with him, once again.

I don't think that Clinton brought very much tonight.

I would give both Obama and Edwards B+ and Hillary a B-

[red2blue]

14. i'm no Hillary fan but...

she whipped Obama good

A- Edwards
B- Clinton
C+ Obama

[Renew Deal]

15. I agree

It was good for everyone.

[spooky3]

18. Halperin, who provides nearly as much fodder for mediamatters.org

as Timmy Russert and friends?

http://mediamatters.org/issues_topics/search_results?qstring=halperin

Not a credible, unbiased source.

[avaistheone1]

29. Edwards definitely an A+

He came off strong. Edwards also doesn't harp on the gutter politics.

Looking more presidential all the time Johnny.

[madrchsod]

19. ok that`s a tie.....

[Zhuk]

20. as a Clinton fan

Edwards won the night, he's the one deserving of the A not Obama or Clinton

[debbierlus]

21. I saw the photo; he IS an ass-hat

[ozone_man]

23. Edwards, Obama, Clinton, in that order.

Edwards A+
Obama B+
Clinton B-

Bias: Edwards supporter, progressive

[Cha]

34. Well, thanks for giving my

guy a B+ then..I didn't see it but my cyber instincts trust your instincts.:) ozone!

[ozone_man]

37. Your guy was Edwards.

What happened? Obama is my second choice. I'm staying with Edwards all the way. In the end, I'd much prefer Obama over Hillary. :)

[HughMoran]

27. That's close enough

I've got no issue with those grades.

[Monty__]

28. My grades

Edwards A+
Obama B-
Clinton B-

[Metric System]

32. Grades:

Edwards- A-

Clinton- B+

Obama- B

[ClericJohnPreston]

31. Gotta laugh

at the "usual suspects", Obanites, claiming a victory or "win", every time they lose.

Really quite amusing.....

[BenDavid]

33. mark halpirin is pro obama and really is not legit to even give

a grade. go read his works from 07...that shouls tell you a lot....

[Baclava]

35. Hillary D-, Obama D-, Edwards B

The sniping was embarassing.

What was this? A schoolyard argument about who kissed who?


I thought they would break out the wiffle-ball bats and go at it right there.

[CelloPaddy]

36. I read somewhere that he's biased against Hillary nt
