Clinton Obama Debate, Cleveland, OH
 

My thoughts.

1. Clinton stumbled badly on the tax return questions.

2. Four consecutive questions for Barack? What is MSNBC doing, preparing Barack for potential Republican attacks or what?

3. I love Obama's winning-by-conceding-opposition-points style, especially about Farrakhan's endorsement. Clinton stumbled, once again, giving Obama the equivalent to a Sister Soulja moment Clinton had in 1992. Semantically, 'denounce' is a more severe word than 'reject'. What in the hell ChuckTodd is talking about?

4. Clinton was her best about health care. But she tried to put the voodoo word 'mandate' on Obama, with Obama responding with a plea of parental responsibility. Parental responsibility? From a so-called liberal? Unheard of.
