[blockquote]"PHILADELPHIA — Senator Barack Obama found himself consistently on the defensive as he and Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton met Wednesday night in a tense debate that left him parrying questions and criticism on issues including values, patriotism and his association with onetime radicals from the 1960s.[/blockquote]

Seems that the most recent debate between Obama and Clinton was yet another nice opportunity for Clinton to paint Obama as some kind of radical who isn't fit to become president. Did anyone watch this debate? If so, what did you think?

man, it was less of Clinton doing it and more of the MODERATORS. obama clearly lost the debate; however, questions about FLAG PINS and shit are pretty loaded from the beginning.

it was a really, really terrible debate. not a single mention of EDUCATION but 30 minutes on FLAG PINS, BITTERNESS, and ANGRY PASTORS.

Yeah I am really tired of this crap in politics.  Also, I think Clinton and Obama are sabotaging the entire Democratic perty nomination by bitterly attacking each other.  I think they should pull straws to decide who is president and join forces as running mates.  THEY ARE ON THE SAME TEAM FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.

There are a lot of other petty things I could complain about regarding this debate but basically I really hate the whole attitude about Clinton vs. Obama and the direction it is going in.  If either of them were a white male, unfortunately I think that there would be no contest :(

he was speaking here today, and seemed reluctant to have the debate at the RBC center.

Flag pins are the issues of America today......................................... but really it reminds me of how much news talk is concerned with polls polls numbers OBAMA DOESN'T HAVE THE REAGAN DEMS VOTE garbage, it's really irritating and it's turned into checking up on the latest sports scores.

I'm concerned that the brawl between the two is destroying the party's image and ruining the chance to defeat McCain.

Oh and Hill wants to do another debate.. it's been 21 debates already!
