What's next ! First Daddy Bush then Wild Bill Clinton then Baby Bush and now Hillary Clinton come on. Next Bush's brother Jeb bush or Laura Bush will be president stop this cycle America please!

Vote Obama!!

PS I have nothing against Laura Bush but I do not want George in the White House again!

ha ha ha ha …Kim, your criterion for judging who won the debate is ridiclous…LOL

Hilary made a mistaket.

Although John McCain has successfully labeled Mitt Romney as a flip-flopper, he has skated free on many of his position changes such as immigration, Bush tax cuts and even abortion. The democrats will have so much fun with this as Obama alluded to tonight in referring to his flip-flopping with the Bush tax cuts.

Hlilary on the war Iraq she was nieve when she vote for the war when came up the seate

Think you Mr. OBAMA finally a politician with common sense thinking like an American. and not selling out the country to big business and special interest and really thinking about our troops !!!

What would be Obama's position on the war in Iraq if there HAD been WMD's? Although we dodged a bomb by not finding any if there had been then he would say he believes in peace not war…..that really worked on 9/11 for us. We need someone who can make tough choices and even if we have to show our muscles!!!!

John McCain is so out of touch with reality.

I am a veteran of the Iraq war and I will NEVER vote for him.

Go Obama!!

Hillary is demonstrating how smart and articulate she is and what a great President she will be!

American's giving up easily? We went in to Iraq in 2003. It is now 2008. I think, on the contrary, Americans don't give up at all and are still voting for John McCain who says we could be there for 100 years.

Obama says he is for change does he not know that kennedy has been in the senate for decades what is obama going to change with teddy telling him what to do

Another comment: Barack is talking about the war, and american interests.
OIL. Why can't they spend 200 billion dollars on 'american interests' in terms of ridding ourselves of the oil dependency, that, in all honesty, is the root reason for the Iraq war, instead of reinforcing the war machine, year after year, time after time? Let's be honest here, no more Mother Of All Jobs Programs, but this ties into the 'use of force' in lieu of Congress, as a body, living up to its' responsibility of making a formal declaration of war in accordance with the War Powers Act of 1973, which was written in response to the LAST protracted Forever War. War, peace, 2 different words, different spelling, different meaning, kind of binary, kind of like a standard light switch, on/off. Speaking of light switches, what's the Barack position on conservation? Personal practices can make a HUGE dent in energy consumption. Details, details.

Ike warned us. No one listened.

Cllinton reveals herself here by not addressing the question that she admit that her vote was a mistake. We need a president who can be fully honest to the country. She is of the old school of "mistakes were made."

We need info on conservation of forests, ocean pollution, nuclear fuels.

Wow! The last debate made me cringe, and this one is making me applaud! Good questions and good answers. I do think, however, Barack is scoring the most points.

McCain is for making the tax cuts permanent because by not extending them it would mean a tax increase.

McCain has never voted for a tax increase in 25 years in congress.

how can people said that Former Bill Cliton is a friend of black people while he was in the oval office when 300,000 died of etinc poltics,he was praising those african leaders who were part of the crime i.e RWANDA,UGANDA ETHIOPIA AND ERITERA?it is unwise to put CLINTON in office again.

Obama seems ready for the general election and seems to be prepared for the fight against Republicans. He has a real vision for the country which we haven't seen from a Presidential candidate in a long time. He is already changing American mindsets and view of our government.

Senator Clinton what do you feel about the stimulus package?

Extended unemployment checks would help more than a little spendind money that can be used in one hour. The unemployed are really hurting… I would be willing to give my fair share if all if needed to help the people that have nothing. Do you not think that this is just a bandaid effect until he can return to Crawford Tx?

It TOOK A CLINTON (lack of morality) to keep the Republicans in THE WHITE HOUSE for 8 years!!!! Do we need another Clinton after ANOTHER BUSH, followed by another BUSH after another set of Clinon scandals?

Obama has clearly WON this debate, even though he is trying very hard NOT to put Hillary in an awkward position!!!!!!! Thanks Obama.

Bill take note, Hillary is the ONLY one who brought in GENDER into the debate: "The First WOMAN President." What is this gender and race set of issues?

Bill, you better get Wolfe to get back to the importance orfhigher education to our national security and economic stability; and where is the question about the environment?? This is the issue that Al Gore avoided at the instance of his policital handlers and eneded up losing to George Bush…

There should be no temporary or permanent construction of US living quarters in Iraq.

This quetion is for both, I would like to see rents go down. I would also like to see wages go up.

Bill take note, Hillary is the ONLY one who brought in GENDER into the debate: "The First WOMAN President." What is this gender and race set of issues?

Just one thought. Of the two top Republican candidates Mitt Romney is the man to beat the Democrats. McCain has been in Washington too long. Obama's point of Republicans spending too much in Washington doesn't apply to Mitt. There is no argument there. He doesn't come from Washington. Now what is the argument?

Ask what is going to happen to the environment and too nature preservations.

At the end of the 2004 Presidential election (me, democrat), as we saw GWB was elected again, I turned to my Republican husband and said in 2008 it will be Hillary and Barak Obama. Can you see yourselves uniting for the benefit of our country and the best team to lead American and be the the example we are in the world. Can you share Captain and Co-Captain to ensure the change we must be in the world?

I'm for Hilary she is the best candidate for President at this time for all the right reasons., What Obama brings to the game together they could make America a better place for all Americans!

Obama get them,you rock.GOOOOOOOO!!!OBAMA 08

Obama get them,you rock.GOOOOOOOO!!!OBAMA 08

Is there enough caution against pulling out troops too soon? Woulg it not send a message to terrorist that Americans easily give up and are without a true commitment?

McCain is senile. He's too old to run for president.

If you believe in a free economy, why help the consenting adults who, now it seems, made financial mistakes by either buying too much house, or buying a fund they did not fully understand?

A great example of what type leader Obama would be. He recognizes the positives and is not afraid to point out the negatives. Exactly the way he did with his reference to Ronald Reagan. Other Democrats consider it taboo to even hint at praise to any Republican. How do they expect to cross party lines with this type of schoolyard behavior.

I think it's a very strange love-hate relationship between the candidates, or moreover, a front love, real hate relationship. I find that between Hillary + Barack w/ healthcare their differences are mainly small policy issues, that don't really amount to much, but in the case of Illegal Immigration, it's a little different. Between McCain, there are much bigger differences, even though Barack + McCain have worked together on some by-partisan issues in the Senate

Why is McCain not particpating in this debate? It seems like he belongs…

Presidential canidate McCain doest agree with Senator McCain. Sorry John, you can't have it both ways. Obama sounds ready for a good matchup with McCain.

Hillary definitely has the best command of the complicated subjects in every case.

Excellent line by Obama, looking Presidentially past Hillary toward the General Election!

The last question was avery good one. American govt. should not become dynasty to the "Bush's and Clinton"s"
Watch out America!!!!

So far hillary won the debate, she was on point and obama look tired and out of words today.

Obama is so well-centered and balanced in all his commentary. He truly will be a great bipartisan uniter!

Hillary just won the debate with her light-hearted statement which got resounding applause: It took a Clinton to clean up after the first Bush; it might take another Clinton to clean up after the second Bush.

McCain's more in the middle of the political spectrum than to the right. That's why the conservatives are hating this right now!

Keep the applause out of the debates and insist the candidates answer the questions and not saunter off in other areas. Have stronger control over their drifting.
