Wow, the debate is getting pretty nasty. I should cook some popcorn!

I tuned in for a few seconds, just in time to see Hillary tell Obama she can't have a serious debate with him because of... [then I flipped the channel back to Fox.]

Oooo... Hillary is hitting pretty hard, and Obama is looking defensive.

I only saw a short clip though.

I'm shocked! Shocked to find gambling here!

John Edwards actually looks semi-competent here.

Again, I only saw a short clip and I'm not interested in watching the whole thing though.

The commentators did suggest Obama is the front runner in this debate, at least for the South Carolina audience though.

You know, everyone is saying how there could never be a Clinton/Obama ticket (I'm assuming that she wins the nomination), but in a way, the more they fight, the more I see it happening. Hillary is going to tick off a lot of Obama's supporters, and she needs them. It would be a way of unifying the party after this fight, which looks to be going on for a while still.

CNN was interviewing the black female demographic and some analysts about this, and this very comment was made. Many didn't think a woman would be viable in a race this soon. Many didn't think a black person would be viable in a race this soon. That both are now in the race and both a viable is a dilemma. They're pleasantly surprised but also concerned they have to choose. They said that a Clinton/Obama or Obama/Clinton P/VP would make it a no brainer. (The problem is they really don't like each other.)

That said, a few others said it was insulting that everyone assumed a black woman would vote only either for Clinton or Obama, just because of their gender or colour. And yeah, that's true. It's pretty insulting.
