So far, every answer has included the words "John Edwards."

If only he had gotten this much attention when he was in the race...

Why does the audience clap at absolutely everything?


This is history-in-the-making, and plus they paid $1000 to attend.

He's doing very well tonight so far.  I'm really impressed with him so far.  Her, not so much.

Obama has been really good with specifics and citing experts and whatnot during this debate thus far.

Obama is beating Clinton at her own game.

As long as this remains a policy debate and not a personal debate, the civilimeter will stay above 80%.

Obama just complimented Arnold Schwarzeneger... a Republican?!

ZOMG Here comes the Hillary smackdown!!1!1!

Knowing how idiotic the media is, I'm guessing they'll make a huge deal about Obama's statement.

Me too. It is a fairly tough sell with some Democrats though.

Obama's answer was very solid.

I disagree with him, of course, on mandates, but it was still a detailed, well-argued, specific answer.

Also, Clinton smiling mischievously and writing things down whenever Obama said anything looked bad.

A Republican who just endorsed their chief Republican opponent, John McCain.

Obama makes a lot of sense when he talks about health care... unfortunately, Clinton has the "universal health care" buzzword on her side.

She will not try to smack down on Arnold.  Obama's waiting for that

Well Clinton is somewhat higher on the reaction meter... if that actually means anything.

I have to admit... that was a fairly good response by Clinton.  Healthcare is definitely her best issue.

I recall her pretty well always being higher in every debate.

CNN and Wolf Blitzer : Clinton Network News

They will stay on Health Care thinking she has advantage. 

Obama is strong on this also and it will backfire
