Debate Poll: Biden Trounces Palin Among Independents

This Washington Post VP debate fact-check accounting shows Palin and Biden as about even on the mis-speak scale, but that isn't stopping the more rabid of the right from doing some heavily partisan oral foaming, pointing out Biden's oops and conveniently ignoring Palin's wrongs in the process. A real-time poll sampling over 1000 debate viewer reactions found Independent voters swarming for Biden 3-1 or more.

Obama's Political Machine Will Try to Steam Roll Clinton Again

Prediction - Obama refuses to debate Clinton in North Carolina as previously agreed. He'll use his faux outrage over being asked tough questions in last night's debate as an excuse to back out of the North Caroline debate but....he won't back out until after the Pennsylvania primary next Tuesday. UPDATE: He's already hedging...

PA Democratic Debate: Who Won?

The result was arguably one of Mr. Obama's weakest debate performances. He at times appeared annoyed as he sought to answer questions about his former pastor, his reluctance to wear an American flag pin on his lapel and his association in Chicago with former members of the Weather Underground, a radical group that carried out bombings in the 1960s that were intended to incite the overthrow of the government.

Obama's Dilemma with Farrakhan's Endorsement

Earl Ofari Hutchinson at the Huffington Post has a good handle on the Louis Farrakhan Nation of Islam dilemma for Obama, and why it matters - -and why Obama waffled all over the stage during the Tuesday night debate.

Let the Debate Continue

There was one point in last night's debate where in the middle of a complex answer it became obvious that Obama was repeating his stump speech word-for-word, strengthening my impression that the fellow sometimes has difficulty staying focused. Does he not realize that he's repeating a speech verbatim? Or is he just unable to stop himself -- and in either case what does that say about his expressed willingness to run off and engage every despot and rogue leader in a dialog of Kumbaya Obama-goodness?

Clinton Challenges Obama to Fox Debate, Will He Accept?

Will Barack Obama rise to the occasion, and resolve his differences with Fox News in a way that allows him to debate Clinton as challenged? It's a great opportunity for Obama to show that he really can "unite the country." If he claims he can diplomatically handle Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, why can't he resolve his differences with Rupert Murdock? Perhaps he can't...

Obama Lost the Debate, Supporters Pretend to Not Notice

No question Obama lost last Thursday's debate, but try to find an Obama supporter (or a journalist) who will admit that. I found one, in San Francisco of all places.

New Hampshire Debate Review - Republican and Democrat

Just some quick reactions to tonight's ABC WMUR Republican and Democratic debates in New Hampshire. I was able to watch both in their entirety. First, the Republicans. What pompous asses. Huckabee showed a small degree of humility, as did McCain...

Scoring the December 13 Iowa Democratic Debate

I tuned in late to yesterday's debate but got to see the second half. It was obvious that the in-fighting and cross-firing of rhetoric was lessened. One news report suggested that there was an agreement amongst the candidates to...

Quit Whining About the Republican Debate

It was quite funny when Mitt Romney declared months ago he was boycotting the Republican CNN YouTube debate because he was afraid of questions from a snowman, and much to my surprise (heh) Mitt later flip-flopped and changed his mind...

John McCain Banged The War Drums Most Loudly

If anything, last night's Republican debate was yet another unsettling right wing orgy for each candidate to attempt to outdo the other for being the most likely to start the next war, and to flex American military power around the...

Did Hillary Blow It? Making Lemonade

My pal Larkin questions whether Hillary lost some ground in her race for Democratic nominee coming out of Tuesday night's Drexel University debate in New Hampshire. Simultaneously my pal Steve Crickmore is suggesting that the GOP will focus and hit...

GOP Grumpy Old Men Hopefuls Now Running Against "Woodstock" Nation

More than anything, yesterday's GOP debate turned out to be yet another pathetic attempt by a bunch of old White guys to run against anything that even remotely smacks of cultural liberalism or even for that matter, the modern world....

Dumbass For President

The consistently stupid Fred Thompson, back then: Fred Thompson was the Republican mole who allowed himself to be lead around by the nose and told what to do by Nixon's people, who in turn looked down upon their village idiot...

Thompson's Debate Debut "Uneven"

Looking for an early read on how well Fred Thompson did on today's debate (I wasn't able to watch) I found this commentary on MSNBC.com from NBC's Chuck Todd: This debate will be known for two things: 1) an uneven...

Go Rudy! Go Rudy! Go Rudy!

The front runner in the pack of old white men competing for the Republican nomination for president has a busy, busy schedule. He's too busy to debate, but nonetheless knows his priorities when it comes to minorities in America. Rudy...

Two-Faced O'Reilly Hits a Double (Standard)

Since Bill "I've never met a nappy-headed, corn-rowed, ice-tea drinking black person I didn't like" O'Reilly and his hip-hop hypocrisy is so much in the news these days, this item from Salon's Tim Grieve really hits a high-note on the...

Thompson Campaign Lying About Leno Appearance

Fred Thompson's campaign spokesperson Mary Matlin is lying about the reason that Fat-Head Fred ran and hid from the Fox New Hampshire Republican Debate yesterday. She's claiming that the decision to not appear in the debate was that Leno had...
