I don't think Obama and Clinton are going to fight again.

Clinton knows that by doing so she's risking the white vote in SC to Edwards.

Well, Obama just lost the Hispanic vote.

Yes this isnt a good answer by him.

Edwards and Clinton have the same position, though, and Edwards just pointed that out.

Wow, that's a shift by Hillary: "Bring the troops home starting in 60 days". Still more pro-war than McCain in 1993, though.

Funny, the plan she just outlined was pretty much exactly the plan Bill Clinton called irresponsible about a week ago when Obama presented it.

Great response by Obama, though obviously everyone will give the same response.

Its like they took something during the debate that calmed them down....now they are all chipper and laughing with each other. Har har har

Obama and Edwards seem to be trying to play off each other as being nice guys.

Well Obama just took a shot at Edwards and Edwards did NOT seem amused...aha

I didn't see him as looking angry at that one, more like sheepish.

We need a drinking game where you take a shot every time Edwards says the word "mill".

Gabu,

You drink?

No, but Hillary makes me want to start.

Zing!

In his defense, "I can beat the Republican" is, right now, a pretty good reason for most Democrats to vote for someone, or so they seem to think.

But, in the end, even he knows he's being dishonest; people still only know him as the "moderate" Southern Democrat (as he ran in 2004) even though he is by far the most left-wing of the Democratic candidates.

This is a bad answer from Obama.

Edit: OK, getting better.

Obama seems to take some time to get into swing, but once he gets there, he does great.

... I feel kind of sorry for Edwards now. It was heartwarming. ;-;

Only in the sense that everyone will say he "won" the debate, but no one will vote for him.
