I like Obama better in the town hall format
He is great in a rally format, but I think he is very good in a town hall format. He's less preachy and more specific in this format. If he gets the nomination, I'd like to see him attend more townhalls.

2. He's said all this in his regular speeches too
I like both, but I think the people didn't come for this by the looks on some folks faces.

7. It's getting better now
There were a couple of moments where people looked at bit bored. I think he caught them with his constitutional talk.

3. I think part of the problem with THs is that he can't get enough people in.
He seems to come in, and do big rallies in major areas - then where he can, he circles the wagons with THs.

6. Anybody who thinks Obama is not specific, they need to STFU and listen to this townhall meeting.

8. Time to get educated, America.

Boy, I like the way he sounds. We need to raise our expectations and start competing with the rest of the world.

9. I bet if half of his critics who hate his rally preaching format watched this event today
They'd be converted.
