Okay, I watched the Debates.
Here’s the official "Political Byline" Blog reaction to the Democrat Debates.
I went in, expecting a cat fight. What I saw was basically another civil debate.
Hillary did come out in the beginning, a bit punchy, She did NOT lose her temper, as one of MSNBC’s talking heads suggested. She simply defended herself legitimately. Plain and Simple, I didn’t detect anger at all. Anyone who suggests otherwise, is simply either biased against her, or the democrats in general.
Other than that, I detected a very calming, civil tone to the debate.
Yes, there were quite a few zingers, The Pillow Fluff crack, Hillary Musing because she’s the first to get the question. There were a few others, but the pillow fluff crack was about the only one that I remember and yes, I howled with Laugher.
I believe, however, because I am a realist, I believe that Hillary and Obama are quite ambitious about their crusade to get National Healthcare. If they think that the Republicans are going to just lay down and let them steam roll a National Healthcare plan through, they both have a screw loose. Quite frankly, Conservatives will fight that tooth and nail, until the second coming of Christ. Plain and Simple. In reality, it will be a hard, strong, bloody fight. Would it be worth it? I’m not going to comment on that. Because I’m not in their shoes. I will however, continue to comment on it, even after the election, because, quite frankly, it will be an interesting topic to follow.
On Obama, about the Louis Farrakhan issue, I think the Media’s bringing that up, is playing right into the race baiting of the Conservative Media. I’m quite shocked that the MSM Media, especially MSNBC would even bother going there.
I think Obama held his own, very well. He didn’t have a knee jerk moment, at all and I think that says quite a bit about him. He’s proven to me, that he is not anywhere near the caliber of Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton, and believe me, that’s a very good thing,
Now as far as Body language, I didn’t really pay attention to that, I listen to words, Not body language. (Unlike some people!
)
So, who won? I think it was pretty much even. They both did fine, I think.
Question is, what did you think? Comments?
