[maddiejoan]

8. They all won.

Every single one of them made me damned proud to be a Democrat.

I'm still supporting Hillary in the primary, but I'd be proud to vote for any of them.

[penguin7]

9. The Democratic Party Lost Big Time

For obvious reasons.

[jillan]

[JackORoses]

14. classic moment

Moderator: "With all of the Clinton advisers on your campaign,how are you going to offer a clean break from the past?"

Obama:

HRC: "I'd like to hear the answer to this..."

Obama: "Well, Hillary, i look forward to you advising me as well."

HRC: laughs. REALLY loud.

[Andy823]

17. Yeah, I loved that one

Have to admit he had the best come back with that one! :rofl:

[Labors of Hercules]

15. Obama and Edwards are both rocking!

You can just tell they're both more comfortable as the campaign continues!

[capi888]

16. Terrific Debate.

I support all of them. Nice to see candidates with substance. Was terrific and will happy to vote for any of them. I support hillary, but who ever wins, will be good for America. Great debate all our candidates have tons of excellence over the R's.

[Adelante]

18. I didn't see a clear winner today

I thought they were all very good.

[gateley]

19. I don't think there was a clear cut winner -- Most of them did VERY well, IMO. nt

[babylonsister]

20. It was refreshing not to have a known 'face' covering this and stirring

up angst where there doesn't need to be any. I thought they all rocked!

[RufusEarl]

21. They all did !

I really mean that, we're very lucky to have so many good candidates. I'm not a Dennis supporter, but i do think they should have said something about the way he was treated just to show solidarity. Just my very humble opinion.

Peace!

[Kucinich4America]

22. Didn't watch it.

Not that I could watch a debate in the morning anyway, but this one I won't even bother with the repeat.

If they exclude Dennis, they exclude me.

[sellitman]

23. Unless Kucinich is included...

I have watched my last debate.

And I am backing Edwards.

[Bitwit1234]

24. Clinton head over heels...Maturity and know how shows.

[PresidentObama]

25. The second tier candidates. They all got good amounts of time.

It was good to see them speak for a change.

Otherwise, in the top tier...Obama seemed to do very well. He didn't gain any ground, but held his own. Edwards really carried the common theme throughout the debate of fighting special interests and wanting to fight them and beat them. I think that helped him to look like a fighter who will stand on the side of the middle class. It was a good theme to carry in an Iowa debate.

Hillary really bothered me. Her cackle and rude comment to Obama about her wanting to hear his answer on the question about Obama having Clinton advisers advising him was stupid and inappropiate. And it did her no favors, especially in front of an Iowa audience.

Sometimes one bad comment can lose you a whole debate. I thought this along with Clinton's open statement saying she'll "work" for change and not hope for it or demand was rubbed me the wrong way, and I have to wonder how it rubbed the common sense Iowan undecided voters.

Clinton lost this debate out of the top tier. She simply was overshadowed, didn't gain any ground which she needed with Obama's lead in the state, and didn't lose any ground--yet rubbed me the wrong way.

[mdgarcia]

26. Edwards won the debate handsdown.

It wasn't even a contest. After todays Iowa debate, polls will show Iowans shifting for Edwards in these last 3 weeks.

[democrat2thecore]

27. Biden, Obama, Edwards, Dodd - all did a great job today -nt
