CNN

HILLARY, YOU EXPLOIT EVERYTHING to obtain your goals.

Google "Hillary Exposed" with an open mind. Something's fishy here, but I'm sure the Clinton diehards will cite "Swift Boating" in her defense. Just how many people have been exploited and trampled by the Clintons?

"Ms. Clinton was awesome last night! 2008!"

***************

Then, obviously CNN's biased debate in favor of Hillary worked. It is a shame there are people that don't recognize that.

Senator Hillary,
I listened to the debates, you were very confident in yourself and you stood firm for what you belief, you have all it takes to be the next President of United States. I'm proud of you.

"I'm not exploiting anything"

HAAAAAAAAA! Good one.

The gender card has always and continues to be played against women in the corporate world. If you follow the statistic reports on how many women have broken the "glass ceiling", so few in comparison to men and their position is short lived. Additonally, gender plays a part on a females pay check vs. a males.

"On another note, why was Clinton given two to three minutes to talk about being a woman? It seemed like a lot of wasted time that could have been given to anyone else.
Posted By Max, Boston, MA"

Because 50% of voters are also women? I want to hear a woman perspective on economy, education, health, society, war, etc.. Is it clear or not?

I like Dodd. Of all the Dem. candidates, he seems the most "Presidential".

I have to say that I was a bit disheartened by the debate, and particularly with the post debate discussion. The guys at work often tease me about watching "clinton news network". Ordinarily, I laugh it off, but last night it was more than apparent. Do the producers even monitor the programming? I mean there were individuals analyzing the debate that actually worked for the Clintons. How objective is that? Also, it is a sad day when audience members have to rescue their particular candidate from answereng the tough questions. I do not believe that either Edwards' or Obama's questions were out of line. We have every right as voters to know where the candidate's differ on certain issues. If Hillary is elected president who will rescue her from a tough predicament...or better yet who will rescue us?

This country's double standard is just sickening. So its completely ok to accuse a woman of playing the "gender card" but I wonder what would happen if we said Obama was playing the "race card"? I'm not a Hillary supporter at all but as a woman I find this labeling to be offensive and completly inappropriate.

Obama goes to SC and talks about how historic is it for him to run coz he's African American. But that is not playing the gender card. But if Hillary says it's historic that she's a WH hopeful coz she's a woman, that suddenly becomes a gender card issue. Guys, at least be fair! C'mon people, we have to chose what is best for America, stop getting caught in candidate blame game. Let them do it themselves.

Can you all please stfu about "playing the gender card"?? Do Romney, Guliani, McCain, Huckabee, etc play the white male card when they go hunting, attend Nascar rallies, go fishing, etc to prove their manly man bonafides to THEIR base (aka WHITE MEN)? Does the media harp on that at all?? All of a sudden, I guess they realized the other 50% of the USA, women, are ALSO a constituency that can be courted; but if Hillary dares to do such a thing, she is "playing the gender card". And so what if she said that politics is an "all boys club"? Is there something even REMOTELY untrue about that statement?? I think the fact that she can call a spade a spade is what the Beltway finds so offensive.

Gender card? Heck no. How can Hillary play the gender card when it's obvious she's just another member of the "Good Old Boy" network that's been running this country into the ground?

"The remarks drew applause throughout the room."

Why did the Clinton News Network decide not to mention she used the exact same scripted phrases she used a couple weeks ago? I hope you're not all buying this. Hillary Clinton = George Bush 2.0

Hillary, come on, you exploit everything and everyone you can think of to get a vote.

For all of the people saying CNN is for Clinton, I say GREAT!!!!!!!!!!! After MSNBC berating Clinton everyday and FOX NEWS cutting her down everyday, at least one cable news station seems to be more favorable.

So far all of you complainers, thats life. Go get one.

CNN DOESNT SUCK! Grow up people. They're just reporting the news. Isn't their fault that Clinton is inthe lead and a best candidate. Clinton 08!

On another note, why was Clinton given two to three minutes to talk about being a woman? It seemed like a lot of wasted time that could have been given to anyone else.

Clinton 08!

Ms. Clinton was awesome last night! 2008!

I wonder if anyone's attacking her because they believe she's wrong.

lol...all these Clinton haters know she was at her best tonight and did and excellent job...so now that they can't bash her they will turn on cnn for stating the obvious. Calling CNN the clinton news network because they report on her (she is the frontrunner , her husband is the ex-president , she is a current senator..etc.)is ridiculous. At least the powers to be at CNN didn't ask someone to lie about Giuliani's corrupt buddy as to not hurt Giulianis chances to be the republican candidate , like some other corrupt news network I know .cough*FOX*cough. Where is your outrage about that?

A pretty lady walks into a bar full of drunks and she gets ????. Her fault for having poor judgment – she should know better. A woman dares to aspire to be president and she gets mugged on stage in a very public way. Serves her right for trying, huh? Oh how far we've come as a civilized country. It's well worth seeing eight years of her in the WH so all these children of a greater god with so much hate in them would be sucking on their own bile. You go girl!!! You have my vote.

"I'm just trying to play the winning card."

It's a first, she actually said what was on her mind and said what she really wants. Hillary will say or do anything to get elected and that's the bottom line.

She claims to have the most experience, but has done nothing as a Senator except authorize Iraq and blame everyone else.

there is always her failed health care she wrangled for as first lady, but in the next breath Bill takes the hit for the team and takes responsibility for the failure of Hillary care, stating he was running it.

She wants it both ways all the time, but if elected then what will happen when it is no longer academic?

When she has to make REAL decisions. Will Bill take the hit then or just leave every American hanging. From their past actions, it's easy to see they don't care about anyone or anything except themselves.

Anyone BUT Clinton in '08

i cant take anymore of hillarys rigged debates!!! thanks hillary for undermining our democracy and trying to fool the american people, the people in the crowd who booed were planted, just like most of the questions she gets asked on the campaign trail this woman will do anything to win!!! shameful!!!

I don't really see the purpose of these debates when the candidates do not get enough time to answer the questions posed. How can we even classify this under debates. It's more like True/False questions.
I was disgusted by the post commentary on the debate.
What's the difference then between CNN and the communist news agencies that spread propaganda. I think CNN is not being patriotic at all when they do their country a disfavor by pushing a certain candidate to the people. Please give enough coverage to all the candidates so you can let the american people make their choice.
I think Joe Bidden and the other candidates did a good job but they are not being given enough air time.
I have to agree that Obama didn't give give a clear answer about giving out driver's licences. I belive that he had made a point though, that the main issue is about either alllowing those people to stay in the country or not. I could tell he is for legalizing the deserving immigrants. Let's face it people, could all the illegals be possibly deported? There are some people who have been illegals for decades and what can be possible done about them?

The look on David Gergen face when Anderson Cooper pointed out that he worked for Bill Clinton right after he gone into an Anti-Obama rant...PRICELESS

Hillary keep up the good work!
Keeping your cool as you did unlike some on the stage was a plus.
I cant wait to see you in more debates.I think you are just warming up and getting better and better.

I'm SO thankful that the candidates do attack each other. It's the only thing that stops them from completely lying ALL the time. If the flip flops aren't called,, the people will just hear....."and it's George Bush's fault" and everybody starts clapping. That's when I slap my forehead and start to worry.

The "gender card" issue isn't about whether or not she's trying to appeal to female voters (of course she is!), it's about whether or not she's getting beat up by the other candidates because she's a woman. When giving your own two cents on the "gender card" issue, don't get confused on the what the issue really is. Many of you are just looking to take jabs at Hillary and, in the process of doing so, get confused on the actual facts.

Why not play the gender card? This is historic and should be recognized as such. There is a qualified, honest-to-goodness female contender for the White House…finally!!!
Posted By Jane Tulsa, OK : November 15, 2007 9:52 pm
then why can't Obama or Richardson play the race card? according to your logic, its fair game! its bigotry, no matter how you play it, and its not what any of these candidates should stand for. Hillary has been playing the gender card since day one, with crap like "i'm the girl for you!". Obama and Richardson do not play the race card, which is far more respectable than this 2 faced woman's constant playing gender card.

I was stunned to watch CNN's post commentary of the debate which said what a brilliant night Hillary had.

did they watch what I did? She was stale. Obama ruled it.

Like it or not, Hillary is the front-runner. As such, she gets the focus right now. If someone else was a clear front-runner, it would be them getting the focus. It's really as simple as that. It's Sen. Clinton right now - get over it folks. If you don't like Sen. Clinton as the front-runner, go campaign for one of the others.

Of course she's playing the gender card! Who wouldn't in her position? She could have atleast been more honest and upfront about this answer-instead of giving contradictory and often unclarified answers. She quoted a 95 year old woman saying that she "was alive before women could vote and wants to be alive to see the first woman president"-how can you say she isn't trying to appeal to female voters here? but further emphasizes how many women are voting for Sen. Clinton solely because she is a female. Yes, there is a need for gender (& race) equality within the government, but this is a very weak reason to vote for who will lead our country, and her answer (and the resounding applause following) further emphasizes that many voters are focused on the gender issue and Clinton's overuse of this as her power card, and not on who would be the most competent president. Furthermore, she continues to cite her "experience in the White House as the first lady" but failed to provide documentation or clarification on what exactly she did. The state of the our government is far too important to make such simple decisions on who leads our country. We need a president who makes history by their competency, intelligence, honesty, action and dedication, not a president who makes history simply because she is a woman.

Go Hillary! How can gender NOT be an issue? The United States has a qualified woman candidate running for President for the first time in US history. Patriarchs, Republicans and insecure men and women of America, it was bound to happen...Bush was the perfect catalyst for this potential of progress and promise for the future. She couldn't do any worse that's for sure. The reason people dislike her so much is because she's perceived as a threat. BS really? Is that all you get from her? Are you really listening, or are you just another mind polluted by talking points? By media propaganda? By US history? Any of these candidates would do better than the current administration, Hillary just happens to stand out because she is educated and has spent a lifetime in politics and she's a (gasp) strong woman. It is not the ignorance of a mass and those who suport her, but ignorance of the unknown. A woman President? She's ahead because she makes sense, not because her supporters can't think for themselves. For all the men out there who feel Hillary is the right candidate, and are not afraid to say so, you are one of many things that is right with this country!!! Thank you HIllary. You give me hope.

Hillary's still got it! It's truly hard to deny that she had a great night and has what it takes to run this country! Her and Biden had the best night...

Oh...and let's the drop the Hillary bashing already and the gender card debate. The audience, moderators, and other campaigns are making gender an issue. No one was asking any of the men questions about their jewel preference or other fashion-related preferences. To even question the gender issue when Hillary herself hasn't raised it as an "issue" demonstrates the inherent sexism that still negatively impacts women in this country everyday. Of course she's going to talk about the 95-year-old woman who wants to see her in the White House – she's simply demonstrating that those who challenge her on being a woman candidate are the ones making the issue of it.

Hillary '08! (Perhaps Hillary/Joe '08!?!)

I am glad to read that many other people were disgusted by the obvious favoritism that was shown to Clinton. This is really bad. I am tempted to not vote for Clinton now because this really makes it seem like she is trying to orchestrate everything within an inch of its life. It was really disgusting.

How can you say you are not playing the gender card then say people tell you they want to see a woman president before they die? Maybe people say that but making it public clearly makes it seem like she is playing the gender card.

Posted By Michael, Hilton Head, South Carolina : November 15, 2007 9:43 pm

May be she is or may be she is not?

One thing is clear that can't be challenge tonight that she is a woman and she is ahead of obama & edward.

She's not playing the gender card, she's charging the entire Fall catalog of Nordstroms on it.

CNN I AM ASHAMED OF YOUR DEBATE...TAKE SOME LESSONS FROM MSNBC...WOLF SHOULD BE IMPEACHED...WORSE DEBATE EVER..ITS SO OBVIOUS YOU WERE ANTI OBAMA..SMART GUY HAD TO CHECK YOU ON YOUR UNAMERICAN QUESTIONS THAT YOU SEEM TO POSE TO OBAMA AND EDWARDS COMPARED TO THE DIAMOND QUESTIONS FOR HILLARY...CNN YOU SUCK..WORSE POLITICAL TEAM OF THE YEAR...YOU GUYS MAKE WE COMMON MEN SICK...

Thats it for me. I am sticking to MSNBC. At least they try to be fair. If Hillary gets the nomination she will polarize this country like no one else and bye bye white house. And congress. When are people going to wake up and see the Clintons are shisters carpet baggers and crooks. The republicans are so wanting a clinton nomination because they have a Oil tankers worth of dirt on the clintons. If she gets the nod i am staying home election day. CNN lost me as a viewer. Thier bias to clinton is so flagrant. Its like Fox news towards guilinaai. Un believable. it is the Clinton News Network after all. How did they manage to stack the audience with hillary supporters? Obama represents real change . he may be inexperienced but Hillary is the biggest phony ever.

Now all obama supporters complain about CNN. When MSNBC attacked Clinton and asked silly question to Obama what costume you will wear, how come you did not complain about fairness? Things do come back to you, don't they?

Bring back Tim Russert. This was set up for the Hillary Clinton show. And, Obama has not used the race card. He could have tonight but the time was gven to Hillary to give that fake answer about women's sufferage. Give me a break. Barack has never mentioned anything about blacks not being able to vote and having equal opportunity. If folks want to talk about equal opportunity, just ask any white female how much affirmative action has helped them. Seems like the glass ceiling has been broken many times before now.

I just have to say you're not a real man Ben the way you speak of Clinton. If this were the wild west, you'd be dun fer.

I also hate this new invented word waffle. I hated it when they invented hunker down a few years ago during the hurricanes. Why does the media invent words? Why does the public seem to use them like they've been using them all their lives? There are too many people brainwashed by TV. WAKE THE *&() UP!

Bravo Barack. You answered the questions tonight with straight answers. Hillary, once again, could not, and did not, answer the Social Security question. As far as how the debate was run, Wolf turned into a 'little lamb' tonight, and 'rolled over' and heeded the 'advise' from the Clinton Machine, not to pick on Hillary. I also wonder, when did Hillary 'plant' those questions, for tonights debate, on Wolf's desk? So much for 'journalistic integrity'. I am proud of Barack for telling the American peolpe the truth, and answering ALL questions, about the issues facing our country. Go Barack go!!!

As an intelligent, educated woman, I will not be tempted into voting for someone simply because we share the same gender. I do not agree with Hillary Clinton's politics or her artificial policies. Moreover, I don't trust her. I am tired of the media (and Mrs. Clinton's campaign managers) implying that women will vote for Hillary simply because she is a woman. Does everyone really think women are that stupid? How about giving us credit for being able to think and make a decision on the candidates based on their ideas, policies, and experience? Oh and, Hillary? Sorry, but being First Lady for a few years doesn't make you the most qualified. It just means you don't need a tour.

I believe Sen. Clinton will say and do anything to win. As for the gender card, oh yes, she plays it carefully right up to the time it isn't working for her anymore. She takes large portions of the Federal budget to give to special interest groups, friends, campaign contributers and accepts money from lobbist(Is it any wonder why she has such a large war chest?) Anytime scandal is associated with her, first she denies it then when it's proven, she says she didn't know about it and places the blame elsewhere. (Do a little research.) One of many examples that sums up Hillary for me; when Bill had his problems with Monica, Hillary went in front of the Nation saying it was a right wing conspiracy. Now she either didn't know what was going on right under her nose (not a good quality in a President) or she flat out lied. I want a candidate that loves America more than themselves and understands it is not a glass ceiling of power but the most difficult job of PUBLIC SERVICE.

Hey CNN,

The Clinton campaign called and wants their talking points back.

Their tired of you using up all the Clinton love.

CNN = CLINTON NEWS NETWORK
CNN = CLINTON NEWS NETWORK
CNN = CLINTON NEWS NETWORK

Say it three times and click your heels.

I thought Fox News was bad (and it is), but CNN is now on the same level. Sad!

They are talking about Clinton a lot, but with the hit she took in the last few weeks, I would expect it, she was under a microscope tonight

CNN was biased toward the other candidates and seems to favor hillary. She was asked hand-picked questions. She is such a phony. I would like to see a woman president in the White house, but not her. Pleeze! Give me a break!
Obama 08

I love you Hillary, Madam President! You did terrific!!

Clinton had the most to lose and she did not mess up. She was steady and concise the whole night. She, in my opinion, won the debate. Although, Biden and Dodd both had outstanding performances!

Clinton still has my vote.

NO MORE CLINTON!!!!!!

Give someone else a chance!!!

She is the corrupt elite like Romney.

CNN does seem to like Clinton, are you guys watching the post debate? It's all about Clinton. I have read on hear people calling it the Clinton News Network, but come on? I am a huge Clinton supporter, but give the other candidates some air time too. I love to hear about my candidate but I also like to hear about her opponents.

Go Hillary! Just keep up the great work and great debates and you will win the nomination and then you can focus on the general election!

Iowa is CLINTON COUNTRY

this was absolutely the worst moderated debate in the history of debates. we're coming close to the elections and this is the type of "serious" discussion we have with the audience hooting and hollering.

pathetic. i won't be surprised if cnn tries to hide this one.

Clinton's campaign doesn't need to play the gender card. The media – as well as many of her critics – do it for her. All political candidates will whip out whatever "cards" work in their best interest. But why is the perception of playing the gender card worse than playing the poverty card or the race card? Why aren't critics waiting to pounce on Edwards when he invokes his blue-collared up-bringing? Like race and gender, that was a situation that he was born into, yet he touts it as if it were an accomplishment.

What is this LOVEFEST CNN Post Debate has for Hillary, is it me or does CNN not even care anymore if the public knowd they are bias to here, you would think that Hillary was the only one on stage, and why would CNN have two former Clinton Advisors and Clinton supportors on the post debate, are you really kidding me CNN?

Dear God, please bring back fair journalism...

Kudos! Senator Obama. Great Job.

Best part of the debate? Obama waffling on the drivers liscense for illegals answer. Did you hear that? DRIVERS LISCENSE FOR ILLEGALS answer. I laughed so hard I almost peed myself

I am watching the post-debate analysis and for the past 30 minutes, the ONLY candidates the analysts are talking about are Clinton, Obama, and occasionally Edwards. Joe Biden turned in a very strong performance tonight and he is not getting mentioned at all even though he did a better job than both Obama and Edwards. I normally like CNN, but this is appalling.

I am a 65 y/o black woman and would like to see a black president before I die. I donot care about seeing a woman president.
Obama 2008!

Yea,,I'm a Hillary supporter, but I have to admit that little panel on CNN is like a Hillary Lovefest...not a problem for me cause I'm for Hillary but I could see why somebody supporting another candidate might be a lil disgusted.

Is it just me, or did Joe Biden seem to match Hilary better than Obama and Edwards, if not actually win. Even Hilary acknowledged his leadership on oversight of the Supreme Court. I'm not taking gender into account. I just think Joe also has a positive attitude in the debate and has more experience than Hilary.

How can we make an informed decision when there is blatant favoritism towards the perceived front runners? The time allotted and number of questions posed by CNN staff towards the chosen few was very disappointing? It ain' over 'till... The press is pushing us toward Hillary and Barack in spite of several other highly viable candidates that deserve to be heard.

This woman is something else. How on earth you can say you're not playing a gender card & the next second give an example of a 96 year old woman who would like to see a woman president before she died? And she said it like it's no big deal with big smirk smile on her face? Get OUT OF THE KITCHEN, HILL... YOU'RE AN EMBARRASSMENT!!

Joe Biden was by far the most direct and honest, The Top three couldn't give a direct answer to anything – Yes Hillary said NO to the drivers license question, but she learned her lesson from last week and just watched Obama go down in flames with his tirade of the obscure.

I am seriously getting tired of the whole "gender card". I do not want to spend half an hour debating about a woman's right to be on that stage. We all know that Hillary is a formidable candidate and that yes she is a female. Now that the media got over the question: "is Barack Obama black enough?",they are obviously still locked in the whole gender bias. I am personally waiting for "is Bill Richardson Latino enough?". Then again I am not hoping for it, Hillary clearly has the favorite spot on CNN. Please no more of these question.

Wow, CNN really stacked the deck for Clinton tonight.

Obama and Edwards both did well but were clearly in front a crowd stacked in favor of Clinton.

Clinton had to be rescued by the audience several times. She was put in her place several times, but pretending it didn't happen worked ok for her fan base.

I am frustrated by all the attention by commentaters after the debate being on Sens. Clinton and Obama with an occasional mention of Edwards. I felt Bill Richardson seemed the most sensible of all but he's barely mentioned by the press. Could we have more even attention to all the candidates, including Dodd, Biden and Kucinich so we, as voters, can make a more knowledgable decision before we vote? I feel the decision will be made by the press before we get a chance.

After hosting the worst Debate. Then CNN follow it up with past Clinton staffers to critique is just wrong.
CNN should start ALL 2008 coverage and Debates with a DISCLAIMER

" CNN is actively Campaigning for Hillary By Law we must inform you of that".
They do not care about any real change for our Country. Good thing most folks could car none about the debates and don't watch them. I wanted to do what most folks did after the first 15 minutes, TURN THE CHANNEL.

BEST PART OF THE DEBATE:
Obama tells Hillary Clinton that 6% of Americans, the percentage that makes over $97000 is NOT MIDDLE CLASS. What does Clinton say to that, NOTHING. Obama, I loved the way you lectured Hillary like a child , about talking like a Mitt or a Rudy by referring to increasing the social security cap as a 1.2 trillion tax increase. Wake up guys, 6% of Americans who will get this tax increase deserve it, they are not MIDDLE CLASS. Way to go Obama!
Obama 08

Can somebody tell me how ethical it is for the CNN post-debate political team to have TWO out of FOUR "analysts" that worked in the Bill Clinton White House? UH, CLINTON NEWS NETWORK!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hillary had a great rebound debate. She is clearly the best, most informed candidate. Biden is probably the best candidate for foreign policy, but Hillary is the best candidate all around!!!!!

GO HILLARY! IOWA for Hillary

Oh and I was reading thru some of the comments from past posts from people from Iowa, because I am interested in their opinions because they are my neighbors. And some people or at least someone keeps saying that they do not know anyone from Iowa that is for Hillary. I know tons of people who are for Hillary, so I do not know what hole these "people from Iowa" live in. I am from Des Moines, where are these people from in Iowa?

CNN blew it hard.... I agree with the last post. There should be fewer candidates. Secondly, ask some freakin real questions that aren't one liners, and have a real moderator, not communications major dropouts. I won't even pick on a candidate because I think the whole thing wreaked for all of them.

Good job Hillary.. you have my vote...even if Indiana always bats for the other team. Here in Indy we are swinging for you. (VP Collen Powell??)
(and use Bill as a back up)
Best Wishes Hillary....2008

AS WITH UTUBE DEBATES, THE QUESTIONS ARE ALWAYS AT THE AGENDA OF THE MEDIA NOT THE GENERAL PUBLIC. COME ON,,GIVE ME A BREAK,,,CNN,,KEEPING IT REAL! IT WAS CLEAR THAT ALL THE QUESTIONS ASK BY THE GENERAL PUBLIC AS SCRIPTED AND PLANNED. THIS DEBATE WAS THE WORST SCRIPTED REALITY SHOW ON TV. I'VE HAD ENOUGH THERE NOT BEING EQUAL ACCESS FOR ALL THE CANIDATES,ONLY A FEW TRULY GET TO SPEW THIER RETERIC.

Is anybody else watching the post-debate discussion on CNN? Does this just absolutely solidify that this is the Clinton News Network?

The "talking head" commentary is bizarre. Hilary comes off as angry and equivocating - I don't care how calm her manner is. Her makeup is so heavy she looks like a cadaver. Obama was the only one who appeared to be a leader - his presence gives calm. So does Dodd, but he hs no money. Edwards and Biden look like angry folks. And, Richardson, well he's already done that. And forget about the guy who saw the UFO.

These debates are meaningless - the time is too short for reflection, the program is too "Got ya" - voters are looking to vote for someone who inspires - not the best triagulator. Why is the media so nice to Hilary?? Oh, because half of the commentators hope to work on her campaign because they are part of the washington elite and/or in her white house.

Come on guys! Your talk is not what real people think.

Hillary Clinton is probably the biggest phony to run for president in history. She'll DO ANYTHING, SAY ANYTHING in order to convince people too stupid to think for themselves that she has any qualifications whatsoever. If it weren't for Bill Clinton, NO ONE would have ever heard of her. She's just a lousy stinking lying opportunist.

no one really stood out in this debate. to me, Hillary is still the best candidate for president. i think once people start dropping out (kucinich, biden, dodd, and richardson), we can have a real debate where the candidates actually have enough time to fully answer questions and are not interrupted by the commentator after a minute has passed. hillary has my vote right now, but that could change over the course of a month or so.
Clinton 08', then Obama, then Edwards. this is my order so far.

I'd heard/read (and been skeptical )of people's statements describing CNN as the "Clinton News Network"... but wow, watching the 'wrap-up' by Anderson Cooper & 'experts' and their "Hilary dominated' biased analysis is truly amazing... and disheartening. I felt like all did well at times, slipped up at times, and Obama pointing out '6% is *not* middle class' (in response to a Hillary attack on *his* plan for Social Security when she has no clear plan) was the best line of the night. Watching this is almost Fox-news like..

Is the sky blue? Is Hillary playing the Gender Card? Is Hillary going to lose? Its True, Its True!! Its True

I am not a supporter of Hillary, but even if she doesn't exploit the gender card, she receives questions that other candidates don't – questions about her husband and her husband's record. The media should stick to her alone, I haven't heard other candidates address questions about their spouses. And I agree with a past post, there are far more important questions to pose.

Officially the worst debate ever. Nice work CNN! I don't know what was worse, the uncontrollable crowd or Wolf going "uh, yeah, uh, thank you, uh, next". Best Political Team?!?! I don't think so!

Hillary was just wonderful.
Congratulations!

This debate was a sick joke. Everything centered around her. It's all a play. I really don't get why CNN sets up this false debate. They attack everyone that opposes Clinton on stage. They are her bodyguard. I don't get it. Why is the media doing this stuff? Furthermore, why am I the only one that seems to get this. Am I awakened or in a matrix?

Is this the game when people can call BS on an obvious lie. Wolf call her out on this! Seriously the past 2 weeks have been her slamming the rest for gender bias. Mark Penn said she will get 25% of republican women. Is that not the gender card!!!

I think the kyl-lieberman vote has hurt Hillary's campaign. She was the only candidate that voted for it. Now, I see why she voted for it and it makes since, but given what President Bush has done in Iraq and Afghanistan, I do not think it was a smart vote. But she has stood behind it the whole time even though it is unpopular so I respect her for that. I plan to still vote for her in the primary and hopefully the general election.

Clinton 08'

This is a general statement that has nothing to do with any of the candidates performance. CNN SUCKED AT HOSTING THIS DEBATE!!! I don't think one of the candidates had a chance to say anything legitimate and the questions were small minded just like the "moderators." What happended to Jim Lehrer or real journalists.

Senator Clinton is doing great, as well as Governor Richardson and Senator Edwards, and surprisingly Dodd. Obama seems to be stumbling over a few of his answers, but maybe he is just not a great public speaker. I am still undecided but leaning towards Clinton.

Please don't tell me that you want a female as the President and then tell me that she is the one you want. You should all know that she wont do anything to change NAFTA because it would embaress Bill if he becomes the next "first lady" of the United States.

I think Hillary is doing great; a lot better than the last debate. It looked to be a very heated debate early on but it quickly got calmer.

HILLARY 08'

she herself does not play the gender card, however everyone in her campaign does it, and she knows that they do. Oh, and she also rides on the coat tail of her husband.... Hillary is a joke, a fake, and says nothing but bs. She has no real stance on any real issue, rather any original idea on any real issue. Please people, join me and look past her. See through her. See through her bs.

This may be a bit off topic but I'll just say it: I love the political ticker but I have to ask (again) – is CNN under some sort of mandate to give Hilary Clinton so much airtime in relation to the other candidates? It astounds me. Please folks, balance your coverage. If you want to focus on frontrunners than at least give Obama and Edwards equal time on your frontpages and this ticker. Good job otherwise.

I think Hillary is doing great! Is she playing the gender card? I don't think so. Even if she was, so what? Are my fellow men scared of a woman as the leader of the United States and that she'll live in a great big White House with men (and women) protecting her? I say, Go Hillary, Go! I have your bumper sticker on my van!

Blitzer is clearly pro-Clinton and anti-Obama. Both his tone and demeanor when questioning Obama is uncalled for.

HILLARY IS WINNING ON EVERY POINT.

HILLARY '08

I think it is amazing how Hillary answers questions. She is ask a question and then she starts talking about anything she wants, which is not even close to answering the question ask of her. I can not believe that she is given a pass and not ask to give a direct answer to the question ask.

If she is exploiting gender, than Obama is exploiting race.

there are people out that that will say hatefull things about sen. clinton simply because they hate what she and her husband stand for and what they have done for our counrty.

Nice planted questions CNN. The "unscripted" questioner that just asked the retirement question blew that cover for you all...

HILARIOUS!

Why not play the gender card? This is historic and should be recognized as such. There is a qualified, honest-to-goodness female contender for the White House...finally!!!

There is a big difference between noting an obvious Glass Ceiling and Playing the Gender Card. That Card was pulled from the bottom of someone else's deck in what I hope was an unguarded moment of panic.

Noticing that the Presidency in the US has been all male is also not too much for us to expect from any valid Presidential candidate.

All women want to see a woman in the White House, but i am sorry, you don't fit the bill, inmores ways then one.

Are you using your husband to get the ticket ? Yes you are exploiting. Try again.

FIRST OF ALL CAMBELL BROWNS QUESTION WAS REDICULOUS. THE TIME USE FOR CAMBELL'S QUESTION COULD HAVE BEEN USED FOR MORE IMPORTANT ISSUES SUCH AS THE IRAQ WAR, HEALTH CARE EDUCATION. THE MEDIA HAS BECOME MORE INTERESTED IN ATTEMPTING TO GET THE CANDIDATES TO ATTACK EACH OTHER THAN ADDRESS THE IMPORTANT ISSUES. YOU COULD EXPECT SUCH QUESTIONING FROM BRIT HUME OF FOX NEWS BUT I EXPECT MORE FROM CNN.

How can you say you are not playing the gender card then say people tell you they want to see a woman president before they die? Maybe people say that but making it public clearly makes it seem like she is playing the gender card.
