ABC/Facebook NH Republican and Democratic Debate Thread

[Eleden]

Edwards backed up Obama on Pakistan. Good to see.

I was a little worried with Obama's answer, but I was happy to see Edwards prop him up.

[Sam Spade]

Richardson is an idiot.  Obama - fairly good answer, actually.  Though it does sound a lot like Bush.

[StateBoiler]

Hopefully Edwards has recognized the Obama is not the enemy.

It's every man and woman for himself. If Obama wins the nomination, Edwards still loses.

Welcome to politics.

Richardson takes on Musharraf = most irrelevant moment of the night.

[afleitch]

Obama's weakest subject (from my own POV) will be out of the way first - that's a good thing.

Obama always gets better as the debate goes on.

[Alcon]

Richardson needs to stop tapping.

[Meeker]

Move on to another topic... this race isn't about foreign policy anymore. Get to the juicy domestic stuff.

Welcome to politics.

Its every ideologue for him/herself, and Edwards, if he believes what he says, will back the ideology, not the person.

I'm trying to keep track of the audience response Thus far, Obama and Richardson playing better with Independents; Edwards and Hillary with Democrats but all doing fine overall

When they showed the image of Bin Laden on the screen, I thought for certain ABC would have it morph into Obama.

Pretty even among Democrats and Independents for Obama, but Hillary fairing much better among Democrats than Independents

If it was the Vander Blubb Racist Asshole Network (VBRAN) maybe they would have. It is not, however, unfortunately for you.

Speed of Sound, you're a stupid dumbass.  I do believe that the media is biased against Obama.

Vander Blubb, sir, look at your comments in hte past. There is no reason why I should not believe you would mean otherwise. I apologize for the jumping of conclusions. I am so tense due to the debate, I am a little jumpy. That is not an excuse however. Sorry 'bout that.

What comments?

EDIT: That's all right.  Don't worry about it.

Back to the debate.  Extremely boring.  Romney got blew up in the last one.  Let's hope it gets better.

[Eleden]

Independents still don't seem to be warming up to Clinton's message.  However, the Democratic viewers appear to be loving it. 

This is good for Obama who is obviously going to depend on the Independent vote this Tuesday.

[Reluctant Republican]

They should have had this debate first. Everyone's playing nice right now.

Also, Richardson is getting too much time for a guy at 2 percent.

No complaints here in the Obama Camp.
