Who won the debate?

[Joe the Revelator]

Poll question: Who won the debate?

[Maddy McCall]

1. I thought both did well. So I'll call it a draw.

[ShaneGR]

2. I picked Obama, but I think it was a fantastic debate, and both sides won

The Democratic Party won tonight.

[Joe the Revelator]

8. It was a great debate

Hillary started strong, but strangled herself on Iraq. That saved Obama tonight.

[jenmito]

17. And with McCain being the probable Repub., Obama should be OUR nominee on that alone.

[JackORoses]

3. Obama crushed her

All Hail Hillary the Naive!

[emilyg]

36. You stink.

[Flabbergasted]

4. Toss up. I think they both did well with a couple loaded questions.

The Dream Team comment kind of took the air out of any controversy in my opinion.

[Zenlitened]

5. We did.

:dem:

[Blue_Roses]

6. the democratic party

[RetroLounge]

7. Add a choice for both.

[KathieG]

9. Tie

[K Gardner]

10. The DEMOCRATIC Party won the debate, and ergo, America WON !

[mathewsleep]

11. i'd say obama

only because of the iraq questions though.

[Danger Mouse]

12. I'd say it was a draw.

Hillary won on Health Care, Obama on National Security.
Everything else was pretty even.

[agdlp]

13. You should all have watched the CNN red line :-)

:-)

[Flabbergasted]

18. You mean we need to listen to other people that ***CNN choses***?

PS I voted draw.

[PeaceNikki]

14. Both.

[KittyWampus]

15. It was a draw except that Hillary tanked so badly on Iraq.

[Auntie Bush]

16. I say Clinton and I';; bet any non bias journalists will agree.

[nonconformist]

19. I say Hillary. They both did well, and Hillary didn't do as well with the Iraq question, but -

she shined over him on every other issue in the debate.

[Hill_YesWeWill]

20. Yes, as someone else said, I think it as a draw! nt

[Fox Mulder]

21. The Democrats won, that's who.

:)

[Labors of Hercules]

23. Amen to that!

[Colobo]

22. Tied.

[suston96]

24. Who won? We did !

[Bread and Circus]

25. I voted Wolf, it was a tossup for me

[SeattleGirl]

26. Overall, I think Obama did, but Clinton was no slouch either.

For me, the thing that gave Obama the edge was on Iraq.

[indimuse]

27. As Hillary PUT IT!

The Democratic Party! We as Democrats ! We will be united....LOVE Hillary. Obama looked a little perturbed..?

[bdamomma]

28. why do we have such an obsession with winning??

what total BS, like who's winning in Iraq, it's getting old.

I call it a draw too.

[Joe the Revelator]

30. Because it's an competitive debate

Someone has to win, and someone has to emerge as the nominee.

[RoadRage]

29. As an Obama supporter - I say Tie

Both made good points, and both had weak points:

Hillarys Strengths: Health Care (more clear cut)
Obamas Strengths: Iraq (Against the war)

Tie: Immigration.. neither has a great clear cut policy.. both over talked the points.. Hillary flip-flopped on drivers licenses.. Obama didn't initially make a choice, then decided to do them.

I commend them BOTH on keeping it clean, on target and being nice to each other. Tonight made me still want Obama, but not ill at the thought of pushing the button for Clinton if she wins.

[demo dutch]

31. WE DID!

[TexasObserver]

32. Very close, but I gave the nod to Obama on this vote.

Mainly because he's the challenger, and he did well. She did well, too.

[jenmito]

33. Since Obama CLEARLY won the Iraq part, and McCain will probably be the Repub., I say this helped

OBAMA!

[Tom Rinaldo]

34. A very positive discussion that reflected well on both of them

I said this on the debare thread. For those who focus on Clinton's vote on the IWR, Barack won the debate. For those who can look past that vote, Hillary won the debate. But no one lost it. They both came across as bright good Democrats who we can be proud to back against whoever the Republicans nominate. They really did not have strong differences on the issues, and their positions on the issues came off as good ones - a big improvement for the nation.

[Hoof Hearted]

35. Democrats won, that's who.
