Welcome to the GE, IMO Obama is not ready, his supporters should stop whining.

[CK_John]

It is making him look fragile and need of protection. ABC played gotya and will create a media buzz,ie ratings, so get use to it. This what the GE will look like.

1. He can attack McCain like a republican, ruthlessly and without mercy.

How does one respond to a democrat attacking you like a republican?

[Moochy]

2. Project Spin Spin Spin Parrot

Repeat Rinse Lie Conflate Cheat Insult.

[Cali_Democrat]

3. The Clinton campaign reminds me of a sick arsonist that burns someone's house down and says....

the other guy would have done it to you anyway.

[writes3000]

10. Brilliant Analogy!!!! Exactly. n/t

[dbonds]

4. Obama did well. It is the sorry treatment he got that is the problem.

He looked like the only sane person in a crazy house.

[GoesTo11]

5. Hillary is pure teflon, baby. They couldn't scratch her today.

[LSK]

12. couldn't or wouldn't???

Just wait till they bring up Whitewater, Monicagate, Vince Foster, etc etc

[GoesTo11]

19. Well, it helped that they went after Obama not HRC

[Moochy]

13. Carcinogenic mutagenic, harmful to organisms

Synthetic, mass produced, industrial waste byproduct...

yep.

[MercutioATC]

20. Sniper fire...that's all it'd take.

It'd be bad enough during peacetime. When people have friends and relatives dying from REAL sniper fire, it's catastrophic.

[CATagious]

6. You'll be supporting him in the GE too, right??? nm

[LSK]

7. I want a President who will be a great leader, not an expert in GOTCHA

[Colobo]

8. Hillary won't be the nominee. You need to understand it.

[oviedodem]

9. Guess what she is not going to win the election. It does not matter what Obama

says to his supporters a good majority won't support her. I am one of them.

[ShortnFiery]

11. Oh stop! Obama did OUTSTANDING seeing as he was attacked on three fronts.

I suggest you go back and huddle at your HRC site and come up with another bullshit argument.

This dog won't hunt.

[sueragingroz]

14. The man has a glass jaw

and really likes the word "um" a lot....

[jenmito]

15. The audience applauded Obama for his presidential, above-the-fray responses. People won't be fooled

by the RW (moderators') questions.

[CatsDogsBabies]

16. He didn't look fragile

but the moderators sure did look bad.

[nsd]

17. Bullshit. This is NOT how politics should be.

That's the real point of Obama's candidacy. America deserves better than Karl Rove-Dick Morris politics. America deserves better than Sean Hannity and Charlie Gibson. We want to be free of this garbage.

The point that tonight's debate brought up is that Obama can't do it alone. He needs people like us to step up and say, loud and clear, "NOT THIS TIME".

[Double T]

18. BO is definitely NOT READY for prime time ANYTIME.

BO was again falling all over and stumbling on his words.

[Postman]

21. Not ready for what?

He did pretty well defending his integrity against ridiculous questions having nothing to do with being President.

Tabloid politics is only allowed to flourish in America because of the capitalist model that corporate news organizations have adopted.

News organizations shouldn't be in the business of trying to get ratings. They should be in the business of reporting the unvarnished truth no matter what or who it's toes step on.

Ever flipped back and forth between the three main networks of old and seen pretty much the same tired ass stories covered during the nightly news on all three? How is that?

[tekisui]

22. Obama is fine, let's go!

[igor2008]

23. Its going to be like this Every Single Day in the GE

Resko, Wright, Ayers are just the tip of the iceberg. He hasnt been vetted properly.

[peace13]

24. Pardon me but *iss up a rope.

I don't make excuses for Obama. It is your comments that continue the divide in the Dem party. Even the Hill girl said that Obama could beat McCain this evening. Sorry about your luck.

[splat]

25. Ya win some, ya lose some

[KAZ]

26. ABC played gotcha with ONE candidate.

[splat]

28. The frontrunner always gets the toughest tests

[KAZ]

29. But the they spent the next 45 spewing RW t-points at both of our candidates.

[merh]

27. You don't get it

It's not about Obama, it is about the biased, republican like questions, the focusing on the wedge issues and ignoring the true issues - it is about if this is how badly they handle a debate in the primary can you imagine how badly they will treat their least favorite (the dem) in the general election debates.

Christ, can't you folks get your head out of your candidate's ass long enough to realize that this is only a sign of what will come if we allow the media to play the biased game, if we allow them to push the bogus messages and dodge the true issues?

[Medusa]

30. Only 38% of the public trusts Hillary

Hell, Shrub has got better demos than your pet does. Wanna talk unelectable? When you look that word up in the dictionary there is a pic of Hillary grinning back at ya.

[jlpohio69]

31. He seems to stumble on his words a lot during the debates... (n/t)

[Cha]

32. Like anyone would take

advice from someone who supports
a liar, a whiner,
and a poseur.

[TexasLady]

33. And poll after poll shows that

when she attacks and or goes negative..it isn't very good for her.

But it is consistently great for Obama.

[Masterofarts]

34. If Obama isn't ready, why is he winning?

On the verge of becoming our candidate?

[Fox Mulder]

35. If people didn't think he was ready...

they wouldn't be voting for him in large numbers.
