That whisper at the end

Posted: Thursday, January 31, 2008 10:02 PM by Mark Murray

From NBC/NJ's Aswini Anburajan
I guess it's fitting in Los Angeles... That the call of "Can't we all just get along" apparently can be true on a stage with the Democratic candidates.... Whatever Obama whispered in Clinton's ear.. it was a great image to end the debate with. He's not trying to snub her now...

Adds NBC/NJ's Athena Jones (a bit sarcastically): They "heart" each other. Did you see him pull out her chair? Oh what a peachy end to a sweet debate. Like powdered sugar.

Hillary said if she doesn't win, she'll divorce Bill and marry Barack. One way or the another, she's getting back to the WH.

He clearly looked Presidential as Hillary looked like my grade school Princaple.

Hillary clearly won this debate. You can spin it all night and I know you will because MSNBC is the most sexist news channel going. But thats ok, Check the live polling for what average people and not elite left wing liberals thought.

She also managed to answer the heavily loaded questions posed to her with sincerity. Of course the Kid-Gloves approach the media uses with Obama showed again tonight. Can't you ask any tough questions ? Oh yea I forgot, the media only does what gets them raitings, like the failure of the media to do any reporting on the run up to Iraq.

Barack Obama affirmed tonight why I had already decided to give him my vote, my time and some of my money. It is a rare thing to find someone dripping with competence and a rarer thing (I've never seen it before) to see it in a politician. Barack Obama will be the President, of not just the blue states, or the red states but of the United States!

Women's Health: Obama worked to pass a number of laws in Illinois and Washington to improve the health of women. His accomplishments include creating a task force on cervical cancer, providing greater access to breast and cervical cancer screenings, and helping improve prenatal and premature birth services.

Okay, you know I distrust the Clintons, but the pair acquitted themselves nicely.

In contrast to the two homos on the Tonight Show (McCain and Rudy...what dolts).

P.S. to 'censors', lighten up a little on the reference above and let it go for god's sake.

I never thought Hillary Clinton would make me proud but she did in this debate. I have almost come to the conclusion she would make a fine Vice President for Obama.

"We"? love the idea of a dream team? not I!

I will vote Republican if Clinton is either the nominee OR the running mate.

Obama is way smarter than to have her, er, her husband drag his ticket down!

Barack Obama's Health Care is the Same Universal Health Care offered by Hillary but with one Major Difference: You Have the Option of Choice! Do you want to be forced to pay for medical insurance like you are mandated to pay your auto insurance now? Or would you rather have the option of CHOICE --to be able to decide whether or not you want to buy your medical coverage at this time? This way Barack Obama's plan does not put another mandated cost, like auto insurance, on the backs of the people, especially the young who already have college costs to contend with. However, the coverage is always there for you, if and when you need it.

He was a gentleman, she acted like a lady, I loved it!
I was finally able to understand their differences on health care. I saw Hillary's strengths, but I am satisfied Obama is the right candidate. An excellent debate in tone and detail. The celebrities were just an added bonus, something interesting to look at during the breaks.

I guess the media is sad today, no food fight, AHHHHH, poor babies, why don't you just create the news, oh yeah you do that already.
Job losses today show the economy is still tanking and all we get is "they heart each other". Old symbols still resonate with the media, oh well as we americans move forward the media uses the same old formula. Not surprising, corporate group think has always held our culture back.

What did Hillary say to Barack at the end of the Debate?? It looked like she said "There's no Hope Barack, Yours nor above.."
