Barack's tie ROCKED!!
Yes, that's about all I can add to what appears to have been well covered here already. I watched the debate on an office computer so I might have missed a few nuances but it seemed to me that Barack's blue tie looked 100% better than those flourescent jobs he's worn to the last couple.

Actually both candidates looked pretty good. And while Hillary's comedy malfunction was beyond awful, she otherwise didn't do too badly, other than yammering on like a high school debater at her first tournament. Barack however stole the show, and his final answer not only helped rehabilitate Hillary, but made him look every inch the commander-in-chief he already is.

10. Yes they really did.
And they actually looked like a team at the end, too. I imagine it was at least partly for show but it was also a good demonstration of Obama's unity skills.

23. I maybe in the miniority..but I like the way Hillary dresses..she's always so coordinated and
professional looking.

I mean Barack is too..but I'm a female and her three piece suits really sit well my taste...I have a few of them for business meetings and the like, and I love them.

8. I liked it, but it was too similar to Russert's.
Would you think less of me if I told you that I noticed that during the debate, and that it kinda bugged me?

Is it even possible for you to think less of me? ;)

11. I'm thinking they colluded on tie color
when Russert called him pre-debate to let him know what the questions would be and Russert agreed to ask all of his questions to Clinton first if Obama would make out with him after.

16. why not come out on stage literally WAVING a flag?
they could be a two-fisted flag waver all the way from the curtains to the table where they sit. Maybe pull a flag stand from their pocket and have the flag right there on the table as their little buddy.

19. That's what a true patriot would do.
I also demand flag handkerchiefs and cuff-links.

Barack could also get a leg-up on McCain by shaving a flag into his head.

Patriotism is all about the appropriate accessories.

15. she seemed to be yelling
or thats just how I physically respond to her voice.

Also, felt she acted petty in the beginning, instead of thanking the hosts for
having the debate, she complained about the sequence of questions.

She complained that the media was fairer to Obama.

It all had the tone of poor me, you should treat me better.

And she seemed to be deliberately trying to talk over Obama or prevent him from having
his opportunity to talk.

She seemed to be trying too hard, like she was following a script and someone elses
bad advice, or that she just doesn't have the instinct on dealing with being on the spot.

17. Yeah that paranoia strike wasn't exactly a winner.
For one thing, I've noticed the same damn thing happening to Obama on both CNN and MSNBC debates, and worse than just going first -- going first when he thought he'd be going second, like at the end of the last debate. He's never complained about it and boy it sure would look bad if he did.
