Obama won the debate? Oh no he ain't. Obama ain't won no debate. Obama was ridin' dirty! (Thrust, Thrust)

hi

Interesting that Chris gives Obama CREDIT for "sticking in the shiv."
Chris, that doesn't sound very fair and balanced. I've never once heard a journalist give Clinton "credit" for "sticking in the shiv."

lovely. hillary virtualy projecting 8 more years of spitting accross the aisle. barack offering the fireside chat, which will be all this broken and nosediving economy, will be able to afford. keep the spit, give me the chat.

The whole bitter thing is a non-issue.

How many rich kids just paid off their student loans, that just happened with the Obamas

apologies for multiple postings- computer indicated they did not get through.

George & ABC news is in the bed with fixnews.

Forty five minutes into a 90 minute "debate" before the first question on actual substance. Can I grow up to be a commentator/anchor?
Even the "inside baseball" questions had problems- citing the Constitutional provision of the #2 vote getter being VP managed to neglect the constitutional amendment which vitiated the very section they quote. Come on, a 7th grader could write better questions than this.

And now, 63 minutes into a 90 minute debate, Stephanopolous prefaces his first question on the economy with "let's turn to the economy, which is the number one topic on people's minds." Glad to hear them finally get to it......

At the same time Michelle cries over not getting the kids into Phillips Andover. Poor, poor black kid from the mean streets of Hawaii. Let me tell you about the story of a man named Jed. Poor country boy barely kept his family fed. Then one day when he was shooting at some food. And up from the ground came some babbling head. Beverly. Hillbillies. Cry me a river, Obama. You are a nerdy rich kid (playing the poor black child).

Wow, the queen of mis-spoken words and mis-steps is trying attack Barack Obama on a misquote. Well isn't that the desperation pot calling the kettle black? HRC is in desperation mode and she knows if PA isn't a blowout victory, she's all but finished so she's taken the Republican Madden Playbook and airing it out. Man up Barack, Man up.

I am an undecided female voter and this entire debate has been very one sided. Obama was grilled endlessly and Hillary got of with one question. What about the fact she has a somewhat uncontrollable husband galavanting around the country saying whatever he wants. How about what he will be doing while she is running the country. Georgie S. is totaly in the Clinton camp.

Hey George

Ask Hillary what else John Hung got from the white house besides the use of it as a bed and breakfast

Joe, NC - Do you get your own glass, or simply grab the whole punchbowl and guzzle the kool-aid?

How can he condescend to churchgoers, HE IS ONE.

Hangs out with terrorists? Where do you get that ridiculous idea? Hannity? Rush?

I think Barack O'Bama is looking more presidential , Clinton is looking mean ..

Charlie Gibson and Stephanopolous should be embarassed about their performance so far.

Before or after we ask the Clintons how they're getting by on $20M per year?

Look, how much the candidates make is irrelevant. Who the heck wants to elect a leader of the free world who has not been successful in his/her life?

Aside from the fact that this is hysterically funny, the GOP trying to paint OBAMA as Elitist!

Funny, I thought Bush's 'base' were the Haves and the Have-Mores. And they say he's NOT elitist?

Bottom line is the guy was RIGHT. Middle America is just pissed off because someone finally figured them out, and it wasn't the party they wanted. Poor poopsie...

George channels the neo nazi sympathiser Sean Hannity with the William Ayers thing. WTF is going on. I heard George on his radio show yesterday and he gets fed that stupid William Ayers question. Are you kidding me are we going to now have to vet who everybody knows, and pick and choose what is allowed or disavowed.

Are you nuts, CC? Obama is getting worked here. So far in this debate, he condescends to gun owners and churchgoers, his pastor hates America, and he hangs out with known terrorists. That's what America is seeing. Not sure what you're watching.

When do we ask "How are you getting by on only 4.2 million a year, Obama?"

Can we get some real questions of substance on real issues?

Who won the ABC Democratic Debate in Philadelphia Pennsylvania?

Obama is taking wayyyyy too much time to answer these "scandal" questions and he's going to lose out when the debate finally, exhaustedly turns to the actual issues.

As an Obama supporter, I simply am not pleased with how this is going so far.

I almost lost my drink through my nose laughing at the "Obama gets points for sticking in the shiv with his "baking cookies" comment.

ABC SUUUUUUCKS for not broadcasting this live to the West Coast. Basically underscores the fact that this event is NOT news, it's merely theatre.
