Debate round up
I missed the debate tonight in South Carolina. I was having some pretty good mags and eating nachos. But here is what some other folks are saying about the debate. I'll watch it on the repeat and comment on it later.
First, over at DailyKos, with 5,043 people voting, 20 percent said Edwards won the debate. Seventeen percent said Obama won the debate. More than one of the above received 12 percent while None of the above received 11 percent. Hillary got 10 percent while Gravel got a shocking 9 percent, ranking fourth. Wow. Richardson got 6 percent and Kucinich got 5 percent. Biden got 3 and Dodd got 2 percent. Over at boston.com, 56 people voted this way: Obama 30 percent, Edwards 20, Hillary 20, Kucinich 12.5, Gravel 9, Biden 5, Richardson 4, and Dodd 0.
It is hard for me to comment on a debate that I didn't see. But here is some reaction from others in the media: First, Nedra Pickler of the AP was nailed all throughout the 2004 campaign for being unfair to John Kerry. I believe she was the one who "broke" the story about Kerry's alleged affair with an intern. Anyhow, here is her take: ["Democrats Criticize Iraq in 1st Debate"]. This Newsday reporter has a pretty good scoop on who flew coach and who flew private: ["8 Candidates Rely on Private Jets']. Are we surprised? In other words, none of them could plan a few days ahead of time to fly Southwest from Manch to Myrtle Beach? Edwards lives in North Carolina. He couldn't drive to the debate from his house? Bizarre. Dan Balz has this account here : ["Primary Season Opens With Democratic Debate"]. Here is what the NYT is putting out, co-written by "world-class asshole" - according to W and Cheney - Adam Nagourney: ["Democrats Seek Balance of Unity and Differences"].
