This is the worst debate I have ever seen. These questions illustrate why Americans are so fed-up with politics. They don't see any substantive debate on the issues. Only reality-TV-Show drama. Honestly, we care about REAL stuff, not a freaking flag-pin. At least Obama is getting "vetted" so he will fare well against McCain in November.

It seems that the sole intent of tonight's debate is to focus on so-call negativities on Obama. Chuck, I often side with you but not on this subject.

MK, Baltimore, MD — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 01:07:24 GMT

ABC has been disgusting for the last hour. They spent a full hour crucifying Obama and not talking about Clinton's gaffes, but allowing her of course unlimited time to reinforce the attacks by simply saying, "And Senator Clinton, your response?" If they want to continue bringing up weak criticisms of Obama, then why shouldn't they do the same for Clinton?

Of course Daily Kos is pointing out that Stephanopoulos wrote down questions like the one about Ayers while on Sean Hannity's show yesterday. So I guess he takes his cues from Fox News??? Oh and let's not forget that Stephanopoulos worked in the Clinton White House - but he's not biased, riiiight???

After calling my family in the heartland at the break, I have to disagree with your assessment Chuck. You and the rest of the media suggesting that you can assess this from a regular American's point of view is absurd, I'm sorry - you're out of touch. My family thought he was rising above it and was the only one pointing out that Americans want to hear about real issues, not this gotcha game that the Beltway likes to play to create news stories (especially those that have their own names attached so they can bask in their own vanity) where none exist.

I have to say have been rather surprised by Chuck's assessment, he has proved to be pretty fair on previous occasions on this one. It was to be expected that as the marginal front runner and with a former Clinton employee as morderator, Obama was going to face a tougher grilling. But by I take the contrary view that he dealt well with all the attacks. I will give you the benefit of the doubt on this one Chuck and leave it as a difference in perspective.
