MSNBC Debate - The Showdown

[Lief 🗽]

This is a horrible debate. Russert should be fired.

[True Democrat]

Obama is stumbling on his pastor.

[The Man From G.O.P.]

I say again Russert is insane, this is horrible, but as a Conservative I am enjoying it.

[8 out of 11 is not deserved]

He recovered on the Pastor question.  Stumbled at first

[8 out of 11 is not deserved]

Yes...biggest loser tonight is Russett

[exopolitician]

Hillary....WHAT are you talking about...

You must be logged in to read this quote.

Simple.

It's either another "Fymynyst" who wants to vote for Hillary! because it's a "womyn".

OR

It's someone who believes that Hillary! would be easier to beat in the general election and is scared to death of Obama.

[True Democrat]

There's a difference between denouncing or rejecting?  Come on Hillary, you can do better than that.

[John Dibble]

She's wasting her time on a pointless issue.

[Lief 🗽]

Soooooooooo pointless.

Did they just spend the last half hour talking about small incidents that no one cares about?

Home run - Obama on the denounce and reject issue.

She thought she had him.

Counter punched and hit her hard

[Stranger in a strange land]

Home run - Obama on the denounce and reject issue.

She thought she had him.

Counter punched and hit her hard

she gave him the opening to do what he'd failed to do earlier, in explcitly rejecting farrakhan's support

EXACTLY..she could have used that later on

[The Man From G.O.P.]

The uh is returning, he can make or break in this segment.

If Obama names him - she loses her "experience" edge

The dumb George Bush test put it placed in 2000 NH Primary

[True Democrat]

If Obama names him - she loses her "experience" edge

Definitely.  Please Obama, please don't know his name. . .

[True Democrat]

Nevermind,  Clinton knew it, she just didn't know how to pronounce it.  I think that's fair.

[8 out of 11 is not deserved]

agree - fair enough she didn't try to pounce it

[True Democrat]

Weak on Kosovo Obama.  "Work with the international community" in the event of a Russian invasion.  I think troops would be in order.

[angus]

Farakan - Ugly question...Obama is handling it well

agreed.  up to then I'd also consider writing that I thought that the nastiest questions were being directed to Clinton, but this goes to show that Russert's probing is not so one-sided.

Tough questions.  I think Russert is doing a hard job, and most folks wouldn't have the wherewithal to do it.  He's insane, no doubt, maybe moreso even than I.  Definitely he's an excellent moderator.

Obama giving Clinton admin credit on Kosovo was smart

[The Man From G.O.P.]

If Clinton gives a strong answer on Kosovo she can gain advantage, his answer is quite poor.... never mind, it doesn't look like she'el get a swing at it.

You'd risk war with Russia?

[Lief 🗽]

Because gotcha questions about the name of someone that, if you're President, you'll be briefed on for hours anyway are really helping us decide between these candidates so much. Thank you so much Tim Russert. Thank you.
