Who do you think won last night's debate?
So last night Clinton and Obama had the 51st debate in this primary season. According to some news sources, Clinton won hands down. While others were so bold as to declare Obama the winner minutes after the debate ended. So my question is who do you think won and why?

Although I'm not voting for a Democrat. I think Hillary won. Obama spent most of the time on the defensive, and even appeared frustrated a certain times. he never really directly answered any of the criticism towards him. He also seemed to sidestep any questions about his plans politically if he were to be come the president. Hillary looked confident and knew where she was going with things. Hillary won hands down. But I still think McCain is the better choice.

No one won last nights debate, because that was NOT a debate. A debate as defined is a formal contest of argumentation in which two opposing teams defend and attack a given proposition. How could they voice their positions when their time in front of the camera was wasted on petty politics? Um, correct me if I am wrong, but wasn’t George Stephanopoulos, Bill Clinton’s top adviser? Can someone say conflict of interest? You’d be daft if you think there wasn’t.
It is hard to remember that Hillary is not a Republican, she talks like one and will stay in this race and play dirty politics at all cost. But no matter, even if she could get the democratic presidential nomination, she could NEVER win against McCain. McCain knows that and the Republicans know it. The whole night was a shame.

There's always a split in these things unless one of the candidates makes a big blunder or REALLY out performs the other. That didn't happen last night. If anything it was a boring draw. I think Obama takes a draw...he's the front runner. Clinton was trying to make up ground and it didn't happen.

Clinton, hands down. She has a structured plan, answered everything without hesitation and made me believe that she has the know how and determination to beat McCain and better our Country.
She did not attack Obama. Obama attacked her within the first few minutes, spent too much time defending and correcting what he has said and no structure in his plans.

Hillary of course won final night. Obama keeps piggybacking on her clever, unique solutions with "I trust Hillary" in the debates. Obama could no longer even provide a on the instant answer on the topic of the endorsement of a properly universal discrimative man or woman, he danced around it for a jiffy. we choose somebody who could be advantageous and clever whilst making judgements and answering questions. Hillary proves that she has that self belief and intelligence, exceptionally final night. The media additionally keeps shining the advantageous spot mild merely on him, which feeds surprising into gullible usa! turn off your TVs and think of for yourselves people! Texas for Hillary '08!

The winners were those who found a more productive and enjoyable thing to do with their time other than watching Obama and Clinton re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-hash Universal Health Care for the 51st time.

Obama stuttered and stumbled, especially with questions dealing with Ayers and Wright.

Obama.
Clinton looked like a crazed, rabid animal, while Obama was calm and not on the attack.

McCain. Every time these two talk, things die, mainly the Democratic Party...
