Gobama!

1. Gobama

He started out a little slow but not for long before the greatness kicked in! I'm proud. :)

[FlaxieB]

2. Best Of The Best! And he will continue to spread his message to the nation.

[silverweb]

3. He did *very* well, I thought.

GObama!

[AtomicKitten]

:thumbsup:

[TwilightGardener]

6. Woot! I was happy with him tonight.

[Catherine Vincent]

7. He definitely needed it tonight.

:kick:

[Colobo]

8. Gobama!

9. I'd love to hear your examples of his solid performance.

Since I haven't made up my mind yet on who to support outside of Kucinich.

[mrreowwr_kittty]

11. I'd love it if non-Obama supporters wouldn't weigh in on this thread. nt

[JackBeck]

17. Thank you for posting his highlights from tonight's debate.

You've helped me deconstruct your candidate's views.

[mrreowwr_kittty]

23. Read some of the other posts on this thread if you want to see that

If you want to 'deconstruct' Obama's performance (which you were not doing in your initial comment here BTW) go on another thread or start your own.

Buh bye.

[JackBeck]

29. Like I said in my original post in this thread,

I'd like to see some substance. And you referred me back to this thread. No one has said anything beyond, "Woo hoo".

[Catherine Vincent]

25. LOL!

[Colobo]

12. I'd say

19. What did he say that impressed you?

State his beliefs and why you agree.

Jeebus, Al Gore nailed it in "The Assault on Reason".

[jonnyblitz]

22. I just started that book tonight.

i am in the second chapter, "Blinding the Faithful". it's quite good so far. :thumbsup:

[JackBeck]

24. It's fantastic. I read it on vacation in June.

Gore's historical frame of reference over how we were more engaged in debate once pamphlets were printed, compared to how we now are forced to scream at our TV's without anyone talking back spoke deeply to me.

[Renew Deal]

30. He supports illegals getting licenses.

Solid!

[CyberPieHole]

10. He was a "BYSTANDER"

If you can call that "solid" have at it.

15. I read that article already.

I guess an angry Clinton supporter wrote it. It's the only thing I've seen tonight that says such nonsense.

[Grandrose]

13. Great showing! (K&R)

GObama! :yourock: :kick:

[ariesgem]

14. Props to Obama!

He had a great showing tonight.

GOBAMA! :applause:

[ShortnFiery]

16. Yes, but I can't help but wish that Obama and Edwards would join forces?

I don't care who's on top (President of the President/Vice President ticket for The Dems) BUT, as a team, they would CLEAN UP!

If these two could work it out before the Primary Voting begins (Obama/Edwards or Edwards/Obama) I believe that both the candidates' supporters and Americans overall would elect a winning team. :patriot:

Yes, both Obama and Edwards shined this evening.

I have to admit that I'm torn between the two of them. :shrug:

[Exultant Democracy]

18. They did work very well together tonight. Obama/Edwards 08

[AtomicKitten]

21. That does have a certain symmetry.

They were breathtaking this evening together.

[Catherine Vincent]

27. hmm... I like that.

n/t

[Superman Returns]

20. Nope

As someone who really likes Obama, I must say, he was mediocore in my book. He did not damage Clinton at all in the beginning, Edwards had the biggest jabs. Towards the end he was better, and did good on the Clinton archives question, but all in all, he is just not good in debate formats, the only one I believe he really won was the one debate when he said that he practiced for the debate in the bumper cars.

[mrreowwr_kittty]

26. I agree that debates are not his best format.

His performance in this one was an improvement over his past ones, though. He really needs to work on that if he wins the Primary. (Of course, he'll be competing against Republicans so he'll have a huge advantage nonetheless.)

[Colobo]

28. He did what he had to do.

I'm proud of him.

[Superman Returns]

31. lemme say this

Obama is the guy I wanna hang out with to talk politics, philosophy, current affairs. He's smart, interesting, and he's not an ideologue. He likes to think through things and look at issues outside the partisan box. Thats why I like him and why many liberals don't. He's a philosopher and they want a bomb thrower. Thats why the left loves Edwards and Kucinich and feel Obama is a disapointment. However, he needs to work on his debate skills, and get some soundbites and redmeat material. Clinton is still the master. I'm waiting for him to bring his 2004 nomination speech passion into the debates.

[2rth2pwr]

32. yay

[zulchzulu]

33. K&R He did well toward the end...

After seeing him live, I know he can boom his voice and he was somewhat tempered early in the debate. He really connected in the second part though. I was watching the debate in a University of Wisconsin rathskellar with several other people and I could hear people getting into what he was saying.

The man makes me proud.

[jefferson_dem]

34. Best of the bunch last night.

No question about it. The Man made me proud.

[Perry Logan]

35. Good try, fella!
