I think that all of the pundits are too enamored w/Barack's "star-like" quality and are forgetting that they are supporting a "little leaguer". Hillary is the one who is ready for the job! Let's support Hillary. African Americans for Hillary! Agree wholeheartedly w/Anna!

You are pushing Abama and you under report Hillary Clinton. I am black and a women and I resent your reporting and have stopped watching you. I don't like MSNBC but at least they are faired to Hillary Clinton. I think your reporting is biased. You are pushing Abama and you under report Hillary Clinton.

I do think he done better last night than in the prior debates. I feel that Hillary speaks with knowledge & her experience is shown in her answers. As far as unity goes it will take members of both parties being willing to want to work together, it does not matter who is elected. There has to be some give & take on both sides but we do not need a president who will cave into the republicans & independants like Lieberman.

A woman and an African-American vs. a white, middle-aged, overpaid man. No matter who is ultimately nominated, there is a huge difference between the 2 parties – the present vs. the past.

However, I have heard nothing about the fact that Obama's Primary wins are based almost entirely on the black vote, per CNN's statistics.

As a white, middle-aged woman, I am wondering why no one is discussing the race and gender issues, and how the parties differ based on these social conditions.

Take the sharp elbows down - perhaps a necessary part of the politcal game when the stakes are so high - and I think that the deep animosity between these two is a media-generated exageration. I see these two on the same page. I think the two of them are both rediscoverying this tonigth on live television. And that is potentially historic. They're arch competitors - not enemies - tonight - rapidly evolving into partners.

Unfortunately, even though she is a woman she is politically ingrained and owes a lot of people a lot of things. I agree with Susanna that Hilary is someone the Republicans can beat.

Noting this, the Clinton administration has been part of the old system of government tactics....the need is for new tactics, a new approach....someone not tainted from past dealings is necessary. I applaud Hilary Clinton for the attempt to address change, but my fear is that after numerous years of pushing these issues which she has taken to be "close to her heart" change has not occurred. Obama is the new generation with fresh ideas to shake up Washington. I applaud that he speaks of transparency with his policies which would keep Washington accountable...something that has been lost.

Clinton will not fare any better against a "likeable" Republican candidate like McCain in the general-election debates than Kerry did in 2004 or Gore did in 2000. "Knowledgeable" is great, but it doesn't appeal to swing voters, most of whom are swayed at the last minute by, as far as I can tell, the candidate's hairstyle on election day. Obama is plenty knowledgeable. He doesn't have to put on a "knowledgeable" show to prove it. Clinton comes across as more polished and knowledgeable

Women and men not only think differently but speak differently. Take your own Mom's way of talking ....and your women teachers. We as women do have our own unique approach in discussing 'issues' as well as our approach to problem solving. It's time someone brought this to light when comparing these two candidates. Having a women in front of us speaking as a women .....needs to be recognized and respected and not compared ....it's apples and oranges.

Like Obama, I was feeling that I did not know who was running-Hilary or Bill. In tonight's debate, I am happy that they are both behaving in a congenial behavior, but I need to understand their differences more clearly. Obviously, they are against the Republican candidates and many of the basic Republican views, but how do they stand apart? Are they working towards an agreement to work as a President, Vice-President team or are they fighting for the presidency? Personally, I feel that Hilary has utilized her husband to a fault.
