Hillary,
What was you words? "Meet Me In Ohio!"
Well Hillary as the old people used to say "You wrote a check your behind couldn't cash."

Obama met and conqued you in Ohio!!!!!

Obama,
Once again you represented yourself very Presidential!!!

Hillary,
Don't pester him with any more of these useless debates. Why are you trying to give those NASTY REPUBLICANS ammunition by nic picking Obama? Leave him alone! You are not turning people off from him, but it only backfires in your face every time!

How come no one sees that Clinton already tried to get Universal Healthcare and had 8 years to do it and failed. What makes it any different this time. Let someone new give it a try. Clinton had her chance.

gotta love the clinton robots shouting in all caps here.

OBAMARAMA!!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats to our next Prez. Obama.
Clinton cant stop the Obama wave, neither Macain.
Did i say I am an Obamamaniac!!!!!!!!!

To all bloggers who imply the media is endearing to Senator Obama, I offer this: The media coverage regarding Senator Obama's opponent is not flattering ( I agree) but this is because the cameras continually capture Obama's opponent throwing tantrums (i.e. "I always get the first question…") If Senator Obama's "opponent" wishes to be shown in a more complimentray light, then may I recommend she conduct herself professionally while the tape is rolling? The footage doesn't lie. It is what it is. She's not professional. She's not presidential.

I think if her campaign media person did not come out yesterday complaining about the media maybe it would be different. Instead of her talking about herself she just attacks. Also to the people that think the NAFTA thing is not fair because she was only First Lady, remember she is trying to say she has more experiance because she was First Lady. You can't have it both ways.

How many of the people that are Hillary haters have accomplisments like hers? Let me guess… none… So shut up and keep your advices for yourself and your friend Obama!! I cannot believe that the democrats have to wait another four years to get the White House!!! We can get it now, but of course this is what we do the best: shoot ourselfs in the foot!!!!

None of you Shrillary Supporters stop to think — I know, it must be difficult in between the bologna-sandwich making for soccer practice — WHY everyone hates her? Hint: its not because she's a woman.

Hillary was always asked first so that Barack could agree. Hillary's answers were always concise while Barack was redundant and not at all straight to the point. I don't think he knew who Putin's successor was.

Has anyone noticed how many republican supporters are here making comments against Hillary, stirring up anger without our party.

If we unite as a party, we will win as a party. Go DNC, it's time for a full take over.

Maybe we should all cross over and vote for Mike Huckabee.

Democrats all the way. Take the presidency, the house, and hold on to the senate.

The media is so biased against Clinton, it's obvious. If Barack gets this nomination I am going to laugh at how hard the Republican party attacks him. It's going to be ugly.

I noticed that Hillary always got the first question. I believe that the commentators were afraid that Obama would got stucked if he was the first to answer the Q.

Maybe Hillary can host Saturday Night Live after she drops out of the race next week.

In response to Noella's comment, I would like to offer the following: Senator Obama is very presidential in his demeanor. Any revelation of change will develop upon accepting the nomination. In other words, time is of the essence. Patience is a virtue and Senator Obama is very virtuous. We are so fortunate to witness his monumental candidacy.

Hillary doesnt mind getting asked first but its just an observation that proves how unfair the questioning process was to her.. She can surely answer the questions directly and smartly and confidently; unlike Obama's "I agree with Hilary".. Go Hilary!!!

I'm sitting here laughing so hard at some of these Clinton supporter comments. I know for a fact that it's some of her campaign workers posting some of these things because they sound so fake. She did horrible and that pillow joke was…lame! Not a single person in the audience got what she was saying, not even a chuckle. If it was a joke, it fell super flat. So you expect me to think that some of you guys commenting on how hilarious it was are actually normal blog users. How much does she pay you to blog?

Hey Billary,

I am counting down the seconds until your political career is finished!!!!
Millions of us will rejoice and scream for joy that your petty, conniving, divisive, triangulating, whiny attitude will be out of the national political picture.

your mismanagement of this campaign is a telling sign that you couldn't manage a lemonade stand and are not presidential material.

I often wondered why she always got the first question. I think it always allowed Obama to listen to whatt she said and then he could answer using her ideas. Also gave him time to think instead of off the cuff.

Let me get this straight. Hillary is ready to lead from day one, but she's upset over getting most of the first questions? Always the victim, never her fault. She's in it but she ain't gonna win it. Get over it!!!

Maybe she should change her name back to Rodham, or choose some other state to represent that will give her broader appeal to the rest of the country, or maybe she should tear up again. Mrs. Clinton does have more experience than Obama — more experience with deceiving, coniving and playing the game. If she wasn't so unlikeable, she could have been the media darling. Wait until Obama runs against McCain and then you will see the media and Hollywood really show favoritism

ah, women…

they cry when you don't give them attention…then they argue when you give them too much. make up your mind…there is no pleasing this lady

Hilary is right.
What has the Media brought itself down to? Do MSNBC and Co think they can actually influence the minds of voters as to who they should vote for?
The more you bash her the more we love her.
The media has lost all credibility.

Hillary knows her stuff and how to stand up to every single issue. she is tough and straight to the point. she's not a poet…poets don't rule countries. the media is biased, people! wake up and smell the propaganda! tonight's debate was a perfect example. this is not American Idol or MTV anymore. this is real.

Hillary makes me feel very uncomfortable. She's just so emotional and seems very crazy! There's an evilness and sense of entitlement she exudes that makes me feel like she is very self centered and fake. I'm definitely voting for Obama and it will be the first time I vote for a Democrat but I'm confident in my decision. GO BARACK OBAMA!!!

CNN I just wanted to say that people all across our great nation have seen how biased your reporting has been for Obama. At this critical juncture in our country's history I thought you guys would have the professionalism and decency to give us fair and balanced reporting. You guys should be ashamed! I mean it's been TERRIBLE!

Several people have wrote "ladies first" as the reason that Clinton always gets asked the question first. That is such a sexist comment. No wonder you are voting for an empty suit over a smart, intelligent woman.

She is in command of all issues and all Obama does is to agree with her. He will be the VP at best.

Not only does Obama keep raising his hand and pointing while Hillary is answering, he grunts, smirks, snickers, shakes his head, nods to the moderator and mouths words to him. Does he know anything about debate behavior? Or how about courtesy, does he know anything about that? And don't mention him pulling out her chair in earlier debates; that was for effect when the lights were still on. When the stage darkened during breaks in those earlier debates, he leaped out of his chair and tore off the stage as if someone had yelled fire. After a second or so, Hillary stood up and groped her way off stage in an opposite direction.

WELL DONE PRESIDENT OBAMA!

Obamabots? Wow clever… how about unedcuated Clintonians?

I didn't get to see the debate tonight. After seeing the others though, it seems like Saturday Night Live hit the nail on the head. I can't wait to see tonights debate. I wonder if they changed it up.

Hillary – Just stop all the whinning.

she just wanted to remind us how friggin hilarious saturday night live was this week

If Obama wins, I am going to vote for a Republican even though I like to think of myself as a democrat. Many things that Obama said has been a variation of the leadership books that he had read when he wrote his book. I don't buy into his words.

Clinton is cry baby! Will she do the same when she is faced with foreign criticism? I'd rather not take my chances with her.

Hillary is right! Barack just copies her answer and embellishes a bit if she goes first. He needs to be put on the spot. Barack is such a loser but the media has crowned him king. Hopefully the American people will see through the scam. If not then McCain 08

Can we get some more cheese with that Whine??

Are we sure Hillary is someone we want to run our White House? She is too argumentive and constantly interrupts. Did you notice her eyebrows didn't match her hair. Shame on her makeup person.

Obama 08

You go Girl………. answer the first question! Then veer off on health care for 16 minutes!

If Hillary becomes President, will she never be able to hold press conferences, because that would mean she would always get asked the first question!

So if I read these comments correctly, it's really the owners of the media who's electing our next President and not us at all…. Just a thought!

First off, in the last ten debates Clinton has been asked the first question six of those times. Granted, that's just over 50% of the time, but it is no reason to complain about it. It's like they said on MSNBC tonight, don't you want the coin flip to go your way so you can get the kickoff?

Secondly, Obama handled himself very well tonight. Clinton came off as grasping at straws. Hopefully, if she loses Texas OR Ohio, she can bow out with what little grace she has left.

Obama a.k.a. Captain Xerox. He rides on all of Hillary's debate answers

First Hillary whines that she is being asked the first question, (how terrible!), then invokes Saturday Night Live as a barometer of truth
and fairness in the media. This, after her weekend rants.
Is this really someone we desire to be President? The alternative
is a calm, deliberate, specific candidate, unflustered and
focused. Obama remains consistent and on message.
How hard is this folks?

I can understand the frustration Senator Clinton must feel. Corporations own the Media, people are like sheep and are easily influenced. Obama can do no wrong would seem to walk on water. WILL THEY ELECT OUR NEXT PRESIDENT?

Keep on shining Senator Clinton — BS Obama looked absolutely nervous. Fakeness can only go so far, mark my words Obama zombies.

The media will soon get what they deserve…

Some people here need to learn how to spell!! GO OBAMA!! I donated $25 to the Obama campaign when the crybaby plugged her own website!! Wah………I want to be president like my cheating husband…….wah!!!

I think she should have gone one step further in this apparent analysis and say "I have no problem answering first but I do believe this gives Senator Obama the chance to carefully think about what I have said and by and large he simply agrees with my statements. Quite honestly I have not had the opportunity to hear any creative ideas or policies of his own."

THAT is the point she was making.

Maybe they should give Hillary a pillow because she just had her butt kicked in this debate.

The media has been so unfair towards Clinton for many weeks! Obama can't do anything wrong. Every headline is in his favor. It's impossible for anyone to be that perfect. What's wrong with this picture? Also, have you noticed that Obama has two voices? When he's at a rally, he's a preacher. He's appealing to the little people. When he's at a debate, he's throws out the sing-song tone and out comes the Harvard guy. He's fake. I just don't trust him.

Go Hillary! You're the most qualified!

It is obvious to everybody. The press is either naively fawning over Obama or their corporate bosses have instructed them to do so. Clinton threatens people because she is, and has, always represents REAL change. Obama is a phony.

Firstly, why do you insist on debating so much if you dont want to have questions asked of you? Secondly, Hillary does an extremely good job of answering questions in such a way that challenges her opponents, regardless of who gets asked first. Thirdly, was it just me, or did she not just moments before making this complaint coop the first question of the debate and turn it into a rehash of last week's health care discussions that, by my best approximation, the moderators were trying their best to avoid.

Barack WON tonight and I am so sorry for these Hillary lovers… like Jack said today: they live in a parallel dimention!!! WAKE UP CLINTONIANS!!!!

talk about a shocker. these questions are asked according to the position of the candidates, first, second…or last, it doesn't matter, what does count is your reply and body language, in this respect, she failed miserably.

How about them BOTH having a debate with Lou Dobbs as the moderator. NEITHER of them would be able to answer the questions he has asked in the last 6 month. Heck, NEITHER could ANY of the republicans . They ALL have special interest attachments and underlying agendas. How about simple YES and NO questions without any retoric or spin. The TRUTH — NONE of the candidates have a clue of what the truth really is or the capablilty of telling us voters the plain and unadulterated truth without any B.S. attached. They ALL have dodged the issues in one way or another.
Have a Nice Day !

Clinton only mentioned being questioned first to setup the line about the pillow, which was another poorly delivered jibe on par with her xerox comment in the last debate. Both comments received the response they deserved. In short, everything Hillary does is scripted, including her attempts at sarcasm. Another pitiful performance. She should be honored to be asked to respond first, but she insists on playing the victim game. If she's first, she's a victim of the press. If he's first, she's a victim of the press.

Billary always talks about how she is so ready to take office, so if she is soooooooo ready to take office then why is she whining about speaking first if she's soooooooooooo ready?!
Everybody is saying that Barack is just repeating what Billary says but if ya really listen close to da man he points out various differences in his answers and speeches. As for all yall whinin about how Rupert was attacking Clinton it serves her right for all the BS she's been talking and really give me five REAL facts she has stated about Obama?!

She actually does better by saying nothing…. she should try that. Hey Hillary, as President you will always get the first question.

She's toast.

Hillary, the whiner. Hillary is doing an injustice to strong and independent women. Whining about the media picking her first makes Hillary look unpresidential.

I have been very impressed with Obama debates ever since the Philadelphia Debate on Oct. 31, 2007. He has gotten stronger and better at debating against the Clinton Organization juggernaut run by Hillary in each and every debate. This last debate Obama won hands down.

Obama in 08!

Hillary is such a cry baby. She does not have presidental qualities. It's time to quite before March 4th. IT'S OVER!!!

most women for her because most american women level like illegal alien whos love her and most women big mouth and wicth

Was that foam coming out of Tim Russert's mouth during his interrogation of Hillary tonight in the debate?

THE PEOPLE WANT CHANGE IN WASHINGTON: TRANSPARENCY, LOBBYIEST, INFLUENCE, GOOD BYE TO THE GOOD OL'BOYS,.

REPEAT AFTER ME….. PRESIDENT OBAMA

PS: SIMON SAYS SAY: PRESIDENT OBAMA

PLEASE! DO SOMEONE IN CNN READ THESE? LAST DEBATE SHE GOT ALL THE FIRST QUESTIONS AND THEN OBAMA ELEBORATED BASED ON CLINTON RESPONDS TO MARK HIS STRATEGY THAT THERE ARE NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THEM…AND OF COURSE HE GETS THE CHANCE TO THINK FOR MORE TIME HIS ANSWER AND ELABORATE ON THE CLINTON ANSWER. IM GLAD HILLAY STOP THAT.

Her comments simply accurately reflect the facts about the manner in which the media has been reporting on the campaign and handling the debates.

Hillary sounded horrible when she began talking about the media bias. It is true however. Listen to the media say things like "she claws" or "rips" her opponent, etc. All terms of cattiness. I thought the jive turkey thing went out with Huggy Bear," but there it is, about to be elected President. And the Dems called GW an idiot. I've lived in the hood and there is a smooth talking OBAMA on every corner.

The only informative thing that I have seen about the comments posted here are the awful grammar and spelling shown by these posters!

I've seen all the debates. Hillary is right , she would answere first, then Barak would copy & repeat what ever she said. He did it tonight & also added that when he got into office he would call a meeting with the joint chiefs of staff & get a plan to start getting the troops out of Iraq in 60 days…. Now That is Exactly what Hillary has said ALL along !
Obama also blabs & blabs by restating the questions or changing the questions to blow off air & sound like he knows something. Doesn't fool me.

Barack can agree with Clinton because he knows that there isn't a whole lot of difference on their positions and he is confident in his own campaign, message, and the important differences that do exist. (Eh em, Iraq).

LMAO!!! Wow, I can't believe she was actually whining about being asked the first question. It made me think of elementary and Junior High school kids kids complaining to their friends. Kind've sad IMO

Go hillary Go!! you're so wonderful, you illustrated yourself as very presidentiable!! You spoke with substance and with full knowledge. You answered all the questions straight to the point without pausing. You're the right one to be a president!!

The crazy thing was once she pointed out their bias–they still kept doing it! Giving him softball questions and grilling her.

He stammered over the Farakhan stuff. It felt like he is actually anti-semitic– as soon as they ask him real question his inexperience and arrogance will be obvious to everyone.

Everytime they ask HILLARY a question,after she answers they ask BARACK the same question and HIS answer is "I HAVE TO AGREE WITH SEN. CLINTON"
I thought CNN is different but NOT.
TO BAD FOR THE MEDIA SHE STILL GOING TO WIN I'M SURE.

Hillary is former first lady, her husband was good president, but she was attacked, criticized mercilessly. Others would be visibly hurt to hear so much mean, nasty, cruel comments from opposition. She stands strong.
I am not able to understand how could the opposition and its supporters be so so cruel to her. Personal attacks, bringing back painful memories, attacking her appearance – what is that? How civilized and "intelligent" is it? How humane is it? She and her campaign never mentioned his appearance, his wife appearance, they did not attack the human in him, they went after the facts. Obama 's supporters hurt her in way which is unspeakable. And he let them do it.

I absolutely will not watch Tim Russert's program on Sunday mornings again!!! What puppets of Rupert M. you all are. You were told to go in for the kill and that is exactly what you did Tim. What a weak man you are.

Not very presidential. Its over folks….she needed a homerun tonight and she hit a pop fly.

And she should be happy she gets the first question of the evening. If I were in a debate I would prefer to have the first question since it would give me the perfect opportunity to frame the debate in such a way that my strengths are highlighted.

BTW: In the last 10 debates Hillary was first 6 out of 10 times…hardly the bias that everyone is clamoring about. Just concede already…

Finally Hillary was able to bring the media negativity to light. Come on America. Vote for the person who is right for our country and has given clear, specific solutions. Not someone who offers hope and dreams, we need more at this time of crisis. HILLARY IN 08

Of course, He does not know how to respond. He does not know the difference between denounce and reject. He would know the name of the future president of Russia, he is just a great speaker. He always agree with senator Clinton on hard issues. Hope, Chance, Bring the country toguether, media help me, bias, impartiality, corrupt. Poor America.

She's talking about she always get questioned first. Well, YOU are the one who wanted the debates in the first place. Obama was cool with all the others you all had. In for favortism, what sport team or anything you know gets alot of coverage if they are losing.

I'm confident that if Obama had been getting the majority of the questions first she'd whine about that too. She should take some notes from Margaret Thatcher about how to act like a mature woman in politics while in the publics eye.

GO OBAMA!!

Hillary is the only qualified candidate here.

The same people chanting Obama's name will be the same people giving him low ratings when things do not work out!!

Reminds me of when we elected George Bush back into office.

Experience DOES matter. Watch and see and then go give low ratings again!!!

Question for Obama supporters:
What is it – specifically – that he stands for that you like?

For all his talk of "hope" and "change", he is a middle-of-the-road candidate, and takes a "safe" – even boring – position on a lot of issues.

Holy cow, can she complain about anything else? Was the seat too hard? Were the camera angles wrong? Stop whining and start acting like someone who's running for president.

A few days ago when Sen. Hillary furiously said let's have a debate, meet me in Ohio, I thought she wouldn't wait untill she was given a green light to speak by the hosts and then now, she is complaining for speaking first. I am confused by her mood switichings.

If barack wins the nominee the media will go against him when he faces McCain you will see this is all about republicans…Bush is doing this to america that doesnt deserve this,they know they can't beat Hillary thats why every republican is supporting Barack,If he wins nominee he will loose BIG TIME on GENERAL.

GO HILLARY.

I feel sorry for Hillary because I knew from the start that she was not going to get a fiar shake. She hitched her wagon to her husband the KING of failed opportunities and now she is paying the price. Her get him a pillow SNL quote was straight out of the George Dubya "Ain't I Funny??" book of political puns. Now she has been booed for her juvenile remarks in the last two debates. The Xerox remark and the SNL comment tonight are a sign of her desperation and a lack of any presidential demeanor. If she does not recover I am afraid that she will compromise herself politically which would be a major loss for the Democratic Party.

Geez, either one–Obama or Clinton–is far, far, far better than McCrazy or Huckster.

It has been my observation that the media has def. been more biased/favorable towards Obama over Clinton. Honestly, no one can seriously deny this! (Just read the headlines!)

And the media is quite powerful…look at how they diminished their coverage of Edwards, and others, for a while before they dropped out. That was blatant bias; covering the race as if it were just between Clinton & Obama. Hmmm….Self-fulfilling prophecy.

Believe me Hillary, WE all wish you wouldn't keep getting the first question. I thought this was a debate, it looked more like Hillary hour. yawn.

The two anchor, Russert and Williams, are the only two professional reporters MSNBC has. When the debate finished, I switched the channel, I would not subject myself to the Matthews and Oberman mouths. Their Obama lovefest borders on porn.

That's one way to deal with a HOT FLASH — Hillary!!!!

She has gotten the first question in 6 out of 10 debates- one more than half. She also answers first on questions that are put to both candidates- voluntarily. She then says "but I'm happy to do that". I think that her polarizing manner came through LOUD and clear tonight. Barack was calm, cool, and collected. He owned the debate tonight!

Then she will say he is getting better treatment if he always got the first question!

Whine whine whine

Time for the WAAAAAAHmbulance to pull up. This campaign is terminal.

I think if the clinton- obama ticket will be a winning team

Well she does…….10 out of the last 15debates, she'sbeen up first……….so the shoe fits, and it's pinching the MEdia and Obama supporters

This is not a personality or rock star race, it is a deadly serious race with the issues that are hurting Americans. If you want Mr. Personality then go ahead and vote for him, but if you want someone to help you with jobs, mortgages, forclosures, education, medical and all the things regular people are having a problem with the vote for Hillary because that is what you will get with her. Mr. Personality will be too busy in the Whitehouse trying to close on the favours he will be owing all the people who have pushed him into the Whitehouse, because it is not his ideas or theories that is doing it.

Truth nothing but the truth! when Hillary speaks about the fact she was declared by media as negative campaigner but when Obama speaks out of boundary he's alright and okay?. What a biased coverage by the media. is this the way how we influence American people to elect our president? Wake up!! It's really obvious that first question is always ask with Hillary but she answered them with full knowledge and very fluent, Obama just getting an idea and expanding her statement. He can't even answer so straightly, is this the president are we looking for? Shame on those who are persuading people in a wrong side.

Why did Hillary complain since this was her chance to show she has all of the experience she claims to have. I am for Obama and will always support him. I am sick of the debates it is the same on same on.

To the people of the USA, all of you women who are criticizing Hillary Clinton are MORON, you are all after the crowd, no brain, you're not an American, you're all from nowhere.

I think it's great to see hillary standing up for herself against those whom she feels want to bully her. I must say, there are ways to handle criticisms from people. Sarcasm and non verbal agressive manner is not the way to do it. The democratic party wants to continue a foundation of strength and not cracking under pressure.

Vote 08′

If you listen closely all Barack does is agree with Clinton in these debates. I haven't heard Barack say anything original in these debates. I guarantee the Barack love fest will die down soon. If he's the nominee we democrats are going to have to wait another four years for "change".

Seriously Obama is being favoured by the press. If Hillary brings up real facts, she is going negative, if Obama does he is applauded. What a joke, no wonder Rupert got Fox, the Liberal meida is full of bull. Seriously Obama is going to get ripped a new on by the Republicans, he has so many skeletons and the man is just a smooth talking empty vessel. He has no brains, just a smooth talker full of it. He is a crack head, thief, and a big racist against non-whites/blacks.

She will win the nomination because it is never about the people. I am glad I am a Clinton supporter but all you Obama people, it is never about what the people want. You should have learned that by now. Hillary 08

Well, the debate just finished. I have to say that I am an Obama supporter, but I was very impressed with Hillary's tone and demeanor. She did very well. Even when the tough question, "Who is Putin's replacement?" was thrown at her (which by all rights should have been posed to Barack, because one of his purported weaknesses is foreign policy) she had the answer. I still support Barack, but I was very impressed with Hillary. Earlier today, my position was that if Hillary got the Demo nomination, I'd vote for McCain. That is no longer the case. Either candidate will do us well…..Good job to both candidates!!

The "Good 'Ole Boys Network" is alive and well, and the commentators played that out. Senator Clinton is treated differently and it is because she's a woman.

I think she would make a great candidate and could take on McCain in a more effectively than Obama.

The moderators shouldn't be so obvious in their candidate of choice.

True, true. Go HILLARY…….LOVE you.

Hillary you are a quick, that is why you are the best……………

Hillary is the best……………………………………………………………………………

Very pro-Obama I thought.

Both Clinton and Obama have benefited from all the attention the media has given them. If Richardson or Biden had gotten as much media attention they might be the presumptive nominees and we wouldn't be stuck with these two.

They just keep cutting her off….so obviously biased. Can't wait to see how SNL does a skit on this. She knows so much more.
They ask her first so he won't look like a fool. He just agrees with her on the tough questions.
Spare me.

Did all you Obamabots get that on two questions that went to Hillary first, Obama basically pointed to her and said basically "Yeah, what she said" (not a direct quote but merely a paraphrase…

It has been right along one sided..the press and obama..like he is their lover…and was obama on drugs…his eye balls where soooooo large and looked like he could hardly keep awake..she is so much more ready to lead this country

Jane Robertson…the lapel pin and saluting the flag discussion ended about two months ago. I certainly hope you are not from Ohio.

The MSNBC cuts off Hillary’s voice all the time, We can not hear the whole completed sentence from Hillary, I listen to MSNBC the questions for Hillary, they intent to gave hard time to Hillary, special Tim Russet when he ask questions he is so "mean:, I said here to all American, if media using this way, it is not fair, it is not running a USA President, it is control and selecting the person Media like, even that candidate was not qualify. But they like, just like…

Contrary to the Clinton Shame on You shock, Obama acts like the leader for me, for us all!!!

Very childish Hillary.

I guarantee you the pundits are mocking you tomorrow over the SNL whine.

SNL is a comedy show. Who cares?

Grow up!!

Great debate!
Russert posed some very strong questions to both candidates to catch them both off guard at times – good for him to ask the straight and tough questions.
Unfortunately for Clinton, my gut feeling is that she is losing supporters with every comment she makes. Why do I feel that way!!??
Obama just cannot be budged, he has some sort of invicibility to him that Hillary has simply not figured out yet!
I think her chances are seriously diminishing.

She came off as whiny. And I was so glad that Russert held her to her previous statements about NAFTA. That was awesome. Obama was funny, much more clear and correct and substantive on foreign policy matters than she was. They both did a very good job. Obama clearly won the debate though. He is absolutely amazing in his depth and command of the issues.

Obama!!!!!!

Did any of you stop to think why the press hates her?

Does anyone here remember the Clinton years in the White House?

If you do, then you'll know why. Please go back and study the Clinton years. The press aren't the only ones that hate her…….all republicans and many democrats do too.

Clinton was correct. If anyone has ever debated they understand that. She always gets the opening shot. To be fair, moderators of all the debates should have evenly split that. It is done that way in competition.

She's exactly right. Ever since Obama won the Iowa Caucuses he's been the darling of every major TV news show. It seems he can do no wrong but they certainly love to point out Hillary's mistakes. The media has decided that they want Obama in office and gullible Americans who can't think for themselves are just going along with it. For the life of me I still can't figure out what the man stands for – he makes beautiful speeches but there's no substance. Isn't anyone else in this country concerned about his lack of experience? Doesn't anyone else know what kind of a foreign policy pickle we're in? Do we really want to trust someone to lead us who hasn't completed one term in the Senate, rarely voted on any critical issue if it meant he had to take a stand for something and admits that he's not good with details? Doesn't seem like change to me – just more of the same.

did anyone catch obama when he said he wants to get the blacks and the jews together so we can all get-along??

I cant believe CNN actually put this on here without adding in a negative comment about HIllary or mentioning how perfect Obama is. Please just go to your politics home page and look at the tone of your headings. ALL are favorable towards Barack. Media should be fair, and CNN is abusing its name and the trust the public puts in them.

They should flip a coin.

Well, gee Duh. I feel like I'm watching SNL.

She's absolutely right. Obama has got free ride from the press.That's ridiculouys. That's why if Hillary doesn't get nominee. I'll defntely vote for McCain not him.

She's right – the media has run a relentless smear campaign against her, and Obama is treated with kid gloves. She was just stating the truth.

first off she did not mention the word "favourable" , she was pointing out an observaton. cnn again twisting things against clinton and making look like obama is the one who is attacked!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ITS OVER, HILLARY DIDN'T SCORE A KNOCKOUT. OBAMA WILL WIN TEXAS AND IT WILL BE OVER.

I love Hillary.

SENATOR CLINTON

KEEP FIGHTING BACK !

THE MEDIA IS SUCH A JOKE
AND OBAMA AND HIS CAMPAIGN IS THE UGLIEST THING I'VE EVER SEEN IN ELECTION HISTORY……………….

WATCH THE MODERATORS
WATCH THE MEDIA
WATCH OBAMA

IT'S ALLLLL ANTI-HILLARY

SAD AND SHAMEFUL

SHAME ON THE MSNBC SHAME ON OBAMA

Hillary 08

PEOPLE THAT PORTRAY THEMSELVES AS VICTIMS HAVE NO BUSINESS IN ANY ROLE OF LEADERSHIP. POOR HILLARY!

Yes Hillary. I admire both Clinton and Obama. But Hillary has taken the heat for years and years and years. I"ll support he nominee but I have early voted for HILLARY. They both have plusses and minuses. We have to WIN Democrats…. stay the fight. This only begins at the end of the primary. Go Hillary. But always GO DEMOCRATS!!!

I don't suppose you've also noticed that you also always get the last word?

It was about 7:18PM, MST. I think this claim is very interesting to make.

All she did was boast when she was in the lead. Now that she's behind, her desperation is really coming through through childish complaints like this, through her nasty attacks and gossiping, and through her flip-flopping responses and numerous changes in perspective as her campaign has gone on!

Whin and whin. Because her poll is trailing behind her opponent. Complaint if this or that. She said Obama needs a foreign policy manual and she dosn't. A foreign policy manual and her experience didn't help her make the wrong foreign policy decisions.

That was so weak! Once again the many faces of Eve! Stick to the topics, the nilly nally stuff is not presidential. Stick to the issues and push your point. Stop pointing out minor issues… that is what turns me off with her.

I truly don't understand all the negativity in these comments. Are we forgetting that these are both democrats? That their ideals are similar in very many ways?

That being said, I have followed the debates, and read both of their autobiographies, and I am a decided Obama supporter, but I do acknowledge that there appears to be quite a media bias towards Obama, and against Clinton. She has every right to be angry, and a moderator of a debate should never be so blatantly partial towards a single participant. For those of you who don't debate, it may seem like she's complaining about nothing, but the order of who speaks first really does matter, especially in a two-way debate, because as the second debater, you have the time to formulate your thoughts, and more importantly, the opportunity to be the first to refute what the first speaker said. Edwards was complaining that he was basically being left out during debates and it was becoming a simple two-way debate. Either way, in this case, the order of speaking is only one of several obvious biases that has emerged in these debates.

So once again, I urge you all to speak not with such prejudice and polarizing comments. It's important to consider the other side, even if it may go against what you want to believe.

Thats right u tell the world the truth. I love u Hillary…. it really isn't fair the he gets to her your point of views then, copy them to get the credit for your well thought out organized plans…. have u seen his web sight he doesn't even no how to do half the things he is saying… and on your Hillary it is all organized and u know how to do and where the money is coming from unlike Obama that is promising things that he cannot back up……………

GOOO HILLARY!!!!

IT'S TOTALLY TRUE !

THE MEDIA (especially MSNBC most of all)
IS IN THE TANK WITH OBAMA

IT IS OUTRAGEOUS AND EMBARASING ON THE PART OF THE MEDIA….

HILLARY WAS RIGHT TO POINT IT OUT !!!!!!!

KEEP IT UP HILLARY

FIGHT BACK

YOU GOT MY VOTE 100 %

The bias of MSNBC (Males Striving to Nominate Barack Corp.) is so obvious. Time and time again, she is thrown the tough question first.
It makes me sick to see Hillary treated so poorly.

wwwaaaaa! sniff~~~sniff~~~sniffle. Stop crying Hillary. What in the world would you do as President? Billll…. They're picking on me……

ladies first…….i bet she would complain too if she never gopt the questions first and why doesnt she complain when obama pulls her the seat??

She was absolutely correct. If Oprah's pet project is advocating freedom, let the media get real and offer balanced perspectives and opportunities for each candidate. That is freedom – freedom to make an informed decision.

People saying the mean comments about her are ridiculous. I can understand if you dont vote for her but why do you hate her? The kind of negative comments I see are immature and really sort of personal. If you really want people to not vote for her attack her politically, and back it up with facts. I think the press is trying to be tender towards his race because its a very personal thing for blacks and whites. In an effort to not seem racist I believe they gave him a better depiction in many ways. Not saying he is always portrayed as good but her negative press is and has been for a while more intense and more frequent.

I think Hillary just realized Obama is qualified to run!

Yes, the media, all organizations have clearly been biased toward obama. They're media are whimps. They gave bush a free ride in 2000, the iraq war a free ride in 2003 and now their favorite prince the pied piper. They allow themselves to be intimidated by the christian right, the neo cons, the coporate powers that be and now it is the african american community for fear of being labled as racist. What happened to fairness, objectivity in reporting news. I no longer watch any cnn, msnbc except for LOU DOBBS, DAN ABRAMS and sometimes Larry King. I am so disgusted disappointed insulted in our media. It's time to overhaul all of our media. Start over fresh…that's what they say about obama…he's fresh.

Tim Russert is being extremely rude to her.

When he challenges Obama…..it's a whole different tone.

I think she did very well with these 3 ego maniacs.

go Hillary 08

In one week Hillary will be history. Why even pay attention to her, she is not even a good hasbeen. Lets' get on with our lives.

Is it just me, or did Obama just recycle Clinton's closing speech from the last debate?

Let's see if the press calls that a concession speech.

OBAMA HAS SURPRISED ME HE KNOWS ABOUT FOREIGN POLICY. OBAMA JUST HAD A CLINTON MOMENT AT THE END OF THE DEBATE.

It's funny how 6 to 8 weeks ago, when hillary had double digit leads in almost all the primary, there wasn't favortism now that Obama is in the lead there is favortism from the media??? If Hillary become President will she run her presidency like her campaign? Niether Candidate has been Mayor or Governor, niether has ran a business or company, so what experiance?

MY DOG ATE MY HOMEWORK

WAIT, I BROKE A NAIL

I SKATED OVER MY SHOELACE

WHY ISN'T ANYBODY VOTING FOR ME

MOM, HE'S PICKING ON ME.

TELL HIM TO QUIT IT

ITS NOT FAIR

Ready on day one? What a joke. A true leader would accept the challenge and not whine. Someone who had relevant experience would handle the pressure with ease. She has neither.

I am still laughing myself silly over this!!!

ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS HILLARY

She ACTS all upset and then SAYS she isnt.

ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS.

your ACTIONS said you were upset about it, but then your words said you didnt mind.

Thank you for showing all the American people that you do INDEED act one way and speak another.

We wont even get into how many times hilarity clinton INSISTED on answering what she wants to answer rather than co operate with the moderators.

She's belligerent, obnoxious, abusive, and unreasonable.

What';s the difference between hilarity clinton and Al Queda? You can negotiate with Al Queda

I read all the blogs, especially of the Hillary-haters. Under the circumstances, none of them could speak, .let alone DEBATE. hating someone doesn't help anyone.

It makes me think, Obama probably, if nothing else, created a large population of HATERS. And that's very sad.

Hillary is going to win!! Just wait and see.

Ready on day one? A true leader would accept the challenge and not whine. Someone who had relevant experience would handles the pressure with ease. She has neither.

Remember that this is the same channel that suspended a commentator that said they pimped their daughter. They also said that Clinton was "philandering." They've apologized to the Clintons for going too far several times.

She has every right to be suspicious of what they are doing, because they are the most transparent for their like of Obama.

Forget objective and fair reporting.

Crissy, you are right "Not all of us were born smart, confident and did I mention smart." Fortunately for us, both HIllary and Obama were so we can't lose in this deal…

I feel a bit sad. That she's using female wiles to win her campaign and that as usual women and men "feel sorry for her"
Well stand in my shoes. Support a chronically ill child, work 50 hours a week. Lose a house, I don't cry in front of others, I don't blame the "media" for my losing streak, I don't sit and whip my opponent and display stupid pictures of him in garb. I merely focus on what I have to do to get thru the day and the rest of my life. Whining about external things never gets anyone anywheres.
Pull yourself up by your bootstraps, stop being whiny. Just be yourself, If you can't do that, then you have lost the person you were meant to be. And therefore should not win this election.

It doesn't matter if the questions come to Sen. Clinton first, last she still comes out as a winner. She just has the knowledge, the fight, and the concern for the american people. All respect to Sen. Obama, Sen. Clinton is the better person for President for the United States.
She is simply amazing.

Ready on day one? A true leader would accept the challenge and not whine. Someone who had relevant experience would handles teh pressure with ease. She has neither.

Okay, it's like Obama saying, Hillary you invited all us here, now what do you want to talk about. Hillary calls a "meeting" and then complains about being asked why. Obama doesn't have time to sit and listen to Hillary's complaints and we don't have time to listen. Hillary brings nothing new to the debates and her time is up. Vote Obama.

I think that, although this was said in jest, Senator Clinton was actually showing herself as defensive, emotional and snidely addressing her distaste for both Senator Obama and the media. I think it would was inappropriate and obviously full of emotional disdain! Bad Move Hillary, bad move!

Tougher questioning- better answers. THIS is why Hillary Clinton NEEDS to win this thing. Come on Texas and Ohio!

I wish they both would think of the good of the country in all their responses. If they did, we could be proud of our candidates. It's not about them.

Sure doesn't look good for Hillary…

Why do you continue to read cnn and follow their coverage if you think it is so biased? Go to Fox for God's sake? Stop wasting blog space whining like your weak candidate!

"In contrast Barack Obama is relax, cool and colective."

Of course, with a sympathetic media… who isn't relaxed and cool?

This is ridiculs all my message are not going to be print strange is that because I am not pro Obama

Honestly now… does American REALLY need a President that is going t complain because she is asked things FIRST and things are UNFAIR… come on now….she CHOSE to run…..DEAL WITH IT!!!

RE: Clinton,
Voters, remember…
first time…oops!
second time…stupid!

Haven't we already had enough of the Clinton dynasty?

He regurgitates her stance on everything.

Didn't see the debate, don't have to. We already know that Obama was wonderful and Clinton was despicable. Just waiting for CNN to confirm that and then we can go to bed.

ZING! Ouch. She cannot outsmart Barak Obama, no matter how badly she wants to or how smart/manipulative she thinks she is. Hill should have left the Louis F. issue alone; she set Obama up for a beautiful score. The man is brilliant, and she is simply a rude, spoiled and bitter wife riding on her husband's coat tails.

Yup!!!!!! Knuckle sandwiches and possibly {more}? at the Democratic Convention this summer.Sad Historic Moment for our Country,getting laughs from many of my relatives in Europe over this election specially on these two.Glad I,m not a member of the Democratic Party.

Prior to the writer's strike SNL did a skit that portrayed the media favoring Hillary Clinton and this was an acurate portrayal of what was happening in the real world. They even had Brian Williams (I think) appear as the commentator and he showed preference to Hillary as the front runner. He took her out of the room and gave her the questions prior to the mock debate and left all the other contenders in the room. This aired prior to any actual primary election when the media was hyping Hillary as the front runner and showing her preference.

Her problem is that she was not ready for a real Primary race. She thought that she had it in the bag and would have the race won by Super Tuesday. Didn't work out that way and now she's mad.

I'm in Ohio and I'll be voting for Barack next Tuesday.

Stop asking for debates and maybe you won't have to answer any questions

Quite accurate. I also find it curious that "objective" CNN proudly displays Opray.com on their main web page. No slant here.

As an Obama supporter and a female, I still had respect for Hilary Clinton. Tonight, I am shocked and disappointed. It's as if she has given up. She is debating the commentator and her demeanor is worse than my 2 yr old when she doesn't get her way. I simply cannot see how she would be able to meet with ANY world leader to resolve ANY conflict when she allows her emotions to take over so easily. II think she would lead us into the next cold war. This is hard to watch.

sssssssssssssssssa, hillarys about to put her foot in her mouth.

What she says is true.The press praises Obama for smearing Hilary and turns against Hilary when she tries to call him on it or show his polices.So,American people who vote him in shouldn't whine when it doesn't come out all sunshine.

Let's get serious…Hilary would complain if she was asked questions second. She constantly whines…we are getting tired of her!

Hellary keeps thinking if she goes into attack mode toward Obama in these debates that this will somehow garner her more votes and support and sympathy. She is just proving how ultimately eternally negative she is. I hope by early next month and shortly after this debate she is out for good. Once she is out, she will probably again complain she wasn't "treated fairly." It all goes back to Iowa and her turning on the water works for NH voters. It's almost over and she's almost GONE. Hallelujah!!

SHe is not desperate she is RIGHT!!!! The press jumps on every negative word she says. If Obama says something negative it barely gets any press. CNN and all reporters should be ashamed!!! WHat if Hillary was a man? THe coverage would be very different. Stop and think about what is best for our country! Change or Change with solutions and experience? For those of ou that are so quick to judge Hillary because she speaks her mind what about Obamas wife and her statement…little press coverage and I am sure many of you will justify her statement so lets get past the negative remarks and not act as politicians but join together and do what is best for America. The press is biased we all know that and Hillary has a right to speak her mind so I say GO HILLARY and look at the issues and solutions and not vote according to reactions to our emotions.

I remember in the last debate that they mentioned the first question was chosen by the flip of a coin. I sure hope nothing unlucky happens to President Hillary. That would just be unfair.

I think Senator Hillary Clinton is being very desperate with these minor complaints. First, she demanded to have this debate and many more and now she is questioning who gets the first question. Surely there is more she can come up with.

I JUST WANTED TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO REJECT AND DENOUNCE HILLARY AND BILL

My fellow Americans and Buckeyes, listen to the debate with an opem mind and no preconcieved notions as many of these post are doing. Hillary is doing just fine

How can she be ready on day one if she cannot answer a question when she is called first. There is a bit of irony in that.

Hillary was right!

Barack cannot be dissuaded.
He is on a mission. Unstoppable!

Gosh I wish the best political team on television were responding live to this debate. I know its on another network, but why hold back your opinions and commentary? I'd rather be reading that than the commentary string from the inner-partisan folks online at home.

I am thirteen years old. I may not be completely aware of every action or quote of either of our candidates, but from this debate I would say that Brrack Obama has gained my favor after cleverly outwitting Hillary for her obnoxious and irrelevent outbursts which were extremely annoying. So, although I am not allowed to ever vote for him this time, I hope someone will cast a vote for me.

Whiner in Chief.

LMAO.

All that knowledge, but no people skills.

Why aren't people noticing that Obama doesn't salute the US flag and he won't wear a US flag lapel pin??????? Why? Is this who we want running our country???????

Make up your minds!!! The last debate had Hilary supporters saying that he just agreed with everything that she said. If that is the case, then why complain…doesn't it make her look smarter? NOT!!

As an interesting note:

MSNBC is not accepting live audience comments. This is very annoying. I would much prefer to have CNN run, at least the web part, of this debate. Just my opinion.

My fav's:
“If any of you have seen SNL, we should ask Barack if he is comfortable and needs another pillow.”

“Well Tim, it isn’t reality: you are making a lot of hy
“I was trying to have a little fun, it’s hard to find time to have a little fun out there on the campaign trail.” [In regards to her comments about celestial lights and Barracks’ supposed Messianic speeches.]

She is absolutely right – She tells a great answer then Obama just says I agree with Hillary

He has so gotten a free ride in this nomination from the press – it is ridiculous. If he wins the nomination I will vote for McCain. He is too arrogant for his own good and has the experience of a 1st grader. At least John Mc Cain has some experience and knows where Pakistan is actually located. Has Obama even been outta the country except to visit Muslim Kenya?

I don't think I could stand to listen to that voice of Hillary's for 4 yrs. (if she SHOULD be elected president)! If she can't take the heat here in the U.S., how could she take criticisn from other countries, and you better believe she would receive plenty of it. She is certainly not prepared to lead our nation.

Gee, debate the issues anyone? How about Obama chairing a NATO

You know canidates are getting desperate when they refer to SNL in a national debate, which was emphasized when you heard crickets responding. Getting to that "leave gracefully" period, isn't it?

Wow, NOW he's an anti-Semite according to her?

Chalk another one up for Clinton race-baiting.

Utterly reprehensible.

I find it interesting that the media has tooted all of Obama's endorsements but didn't say a word about Louis Farrakan endorsing him. Oh well, since he just renounced and rejected the support, I guess it doesn't matter.

CNN, does this comment have a chance to be posted?

Give me a break-OMG-Boo-hoo, poor Hillary-NOT!!!
Good for Sen. Obama for not stooping to her level.

It's great to watch her lose.

another broken promise..i will release my tax returns..(unless i get the nomination and then it will depend on the definition of release)

ARGH. I almost can't watch her. It's too uncomfortable.

I certainly noticed and agree with Hillary. She is always asked the questions first and then Obama plays off her response duplicating most and maybe adding a little. Wonder if he could think of his own answers. It has been without a doubt that the media really is pushing Obama out front even when this is not the case. Watch the tapes on the last debate. Hillary stated on one question about immigration she would help Mexico strengthen their own economy in Mexico and create jobs. Then Obama came in with "me2″. The next day the reports stated that Obama stated this and not a word about Hillary having stated it first or even at all. She has every right to be upset.

If tonight REALLY is Hillary's last stand …. Congratulations on the bid Obama!!!

This primary election season has been a sham. CNN and other news media have completely lost my respect. I feel like I am living with a state controlled media which tells us what to think and whom to vote for. I've never seen anything like this.

It's not your job CNN to slant the news to make your candidate Barack Obama more attractive so that you can convince people to vote for him. It is also not your job to make Hillary look bad so that they will view her in a negative light. You have a responsibility to provide accurate information so that the people can make an intelligent decision on their own.

There are more people than you know who are so disgusted by your election coverage and will no longer watch CNN. I'm one of them.

Hillary,

Do you want some cheese with your "whine"

She is a horrible candidate. She can't handle the pressure of a primary and keep her cool now, how will she do in the regular election, or more importantly, foreign affairs. If its between her and McCain, I will be truly dissapointed in our country's inability to see through a candidate with self interests over the interests of its own citizens who need help… yet again.

A coin toss determined who got the 1st question in the last debate…SHAME ON YOU COIN!!!

Hillary is being bullied, especially by Russert. I can't believe it. Obama is rude. He keeps raising his hand, talking through her statements, and making faces. It's just rude.

She is right, did anyone see that when she did not answer first it took him a while to atcually find an answer.

Okay, I'm about done with this garbage. I do believe the media likes Obama more than her, but that happens. It's not unique to this race. The proper course of action is to get over it, and plod on ahead. In 2000, when news outlets were in favor of Bush, Gore didn't whine and complain and stomp his feet and yell "they're picking on me". He rose above it, because he's a man of convictions. Something a whiny, spoiled child like Hillary Clinton has no idea about.

Just a comment.
Clinton claims experience and ready from day one.
Both Obama and Clinton have the same resume ie us senators.
Clinto has added only that she was with the other Clinton in the white house. Well so was Monica.
And as for accomplishments the only thing i know of that Mrs. Clinton tried was Health care. Didn't she fail?
The only other indicator is her campaign. That sure was mismanaged.
As for character, she seems like a mean spirted person.
Thats all folks

Since Clinton Called Obama out wouldn't you think she would be ready to take the first question. Maybe she should think before calling people out! She needs to stop her crying and stand up and be a real experienced candidate how she is claiming to be. There were too many dry tears. Whats the baby going to do. Save them tears for the babies.

Has she ever heard of the saying "ladies first"?

the wheels are falling off the Clinton bus….

Her mention of the SNL skit was regrettable, as was her mentioning (complaining) about the perceived preferential treatment by the questioners. She's losing her credibility as a strong enough person to take on the role of President of the United States.

Didn't they say there was a coin toss in the last debate in the beginning when Clinton got the first question? She came in this race as the front runner and thought she was on top, if Obama was given the first question she would complain about that…..

Why is it that when Senator Clinton questions something she's a Whiner? She is running for President of the United States…you wouldn't expect your President to sit quietly and not say anything when she sees something unfair happening in this country. She should have and should always speak up and defend herself as she would defend this country! Good for you Senator Clinton!

I always get the first question, that is suspicious

then 5 minutes later she says we should have a debate on the issues

SHE NEEDS TO STOP ATTACKING<she attacks obama, then even the moderators cmon!

talkin about the issues cmon, why would you go off on obama for who says he is a good guy!? lol

I don't blame Senator Clinton for "getting a little hot." Senator Obama is not consistent in his position on NAFTA. On one hand, he implies because Senator Clinton was First Lady when this treaty was approved that she at the time could have not supported the treaty at the time. She was not President then–then was First Lady. What about now? If Senator Obama is so concerned about the NAFTA then why hasn't he introduced legislation in the Senate to terminate the treaty? (Actually what has he done in the Senate these past three years–besides run for the presidency?
On another matter, I do think the national media has given more coverage to Senator Obama than to Senator Clinton. Also, the media has been sexist when it comes to Senator Clinton. I have heard reporters say that Senator Clinton was "cold." What a loaded word. The media would never describe a male candidate as "cold"

Dear friends when obama cries no problem has anyone but when she says everyone says she is crying. Please come to the point be fare in judging people.

It is so clear.
Hillary can take the tough questions.
The press loves Obama and the press knows Obama best.
He needs to be able to follow her so he can agree and
not take a stand himself. he needs to FOLLOW!
Because………………………………

I think that both candidates should stop with the smear campaigns and just run a honest one. Trying to make someone look bad so you can look good does not work in the long run. Nobody is perfect. We just have to choose who we think is the better person to run our country properly and not into the ground.

CNN what are you doing adding debate material from another station..You are not paying attention and taking notes as to how a real debate is to be run..Thank GOD for Tim Russert and MSNBC..

Guys,

I am switching back to BBC again. CNN really damaged its reputation with this election stuff. What it will get once Obama will become the next president I have no idea but now CNN is loosing.

We applaud him because he is correct. Hurts to be called on this, doesn't it Hillary? Where is your sense of entitlement now?

The SNL skit was based on what is happening. That's what makes it funny – the fact that it is so obvious that they are totally cutting Hilary off and favoring Obama. Everyone is mesmerized by Obama. He does have a nice way with words, but so did Deval and he hasn't done any of the things he said he would. Talk is nice, but we need someone who can get the job done.

Of course Obama looks relaxed. He has the media backing him at every turn. To OHIO & TEXAS : show some guts. Vote for Hillary. Don't let the 4th estate pick the candidate for us , as they did in 2000. Remember how they fawned over Bush.

She looked ridiculous and petty when she was trying to act like Obama last Tuesday.

She is right he is favour son of media especially CNN

GO HILLARY!!!!!!!

They should instead of debating say Hillary here is one hour of air time make a fool of yourself.

I am watching MSNBC. I must say CNN debate was a joke moderated by bunch of immature journalists.

I must agree with characterizations of Russert. His rudeness is epic, though I suggest he is so with both Sens Clinton and Obama. Any believers is decorum must be cringing.

I agree – that CNN seemed to be more narrower positive comments about Clinton than Obama and it is unfair. That's why I try to check also ABC and NBC to get a better view.
I am learning that CNN seems to lean more to Obama
ABC and NBC seem to be broader and cover each side.

Can she please just shut up? Geez, what a complainer…

Hurry up and lose, Hilldog. We don't want you to be our leader.

Here is how I judge this debate:
How will the next POTUS react when put under pressure and on the spot? Clinton is being rude, sharp and inconsiderate. Before tonight I was an undecided voter. Tonight Barack Obama gained another vote in the state of Ohio

That kind of leadership inspires me.

Maybe she is asked the first question all the time because she is the one that is always asking to have the debate. Instead of being quick in feeling sorry for her (like her and Bill always count on), look past it. She is the one asking for these debates!

Ladies first……its polite….get over it

GO YOUNG PEOPLE WE ARE THE FUTURE

GO OBAMA

Toastmasters will not work in leading our country with no substance behind those speaking skills. Easier to speak about Judgement when you haven't had the experience yourself. Still don't see it you have no history dealing with the difficult decision you will need to deal with in washington, how are you going going to get things done.

These are just speeches fooling our country. I see Obama as a very week leader in the world. Don't get fooled.

If not Hillary, McCain.

OKAy first of all last time they did a draw OBAMA WON>>> STOPP COMPLAING HILLARY> YOUR WHINING IS GETTING REDUNDANT>

How is it decided who answers first?

Who goes to a debate, and gets mad at the moderator!?! If the race wasn't over before tonight, it is now.

She's whining about being the first to be asked questions???!!! Does she remember Sen. Edwards' whiniing about NOT being first to be asked a question?

What a whining leader she'll be as a president if she doesn't get her way! Can you imagine this kind of person with their finger on the nuclear "GO" button?

But of course, many of us voters already knew that and definitely will continue in our decision not to vote for her.

If she gets the first word, it's a problem. If she gets to go last, it's a problem. You know when it's not a problem? When you have something to say.

Senator Clinton has every right to question the media and their bias toward Senator Obama.
The media appears to push Obama forward and even if you are not a Clinton fan we should let the media know our dislike of their agenda.
Regardless of your political party the old adage applies "what goes around comes around" .

And you wanted to have more debate with him …. free air time. huh.. loser !!

Nothing like showing a complete lack of poise under fire to cancel any impression that she is fit for the Most Difficult Job in the World.

Hmmmm, let me take this opportunity to point out that Obama is attacking Clinton??? MoveOn.Hillary… Your past has not been vetted, your husband's has… Step aside and give Obama the respect he deserves as the clear Democratic nominee,thank you!

Why don't you try editing your stories before they hit an international audience.

Who the heck is Clint????

What is wrong with this picture folks? when did the US started kicking someone when they are down?
Hill Baby! "She who fights and run away, live again to fight another day! "(Bob Marley) before you accuse me too baby.

Wolfson is exactly right !!! The press apologize for Obama all the time. As for Clinton, the press parse her every word, & are critical if she looks cross-eyed at him.

Clinton is asked the first question all the time because her answers are to the point and straight forward. Come on you all lets cut Obama a little slack….. he needs some time to think. Not all of us were born smart, confident and did I mention smart.

Isn't snide, desperate, and condescending what we're trying to do away with in this election? Desperation is not a good look for HRC.

Obama in '08

I did not hear that… What she said was that that Mc Cain was the presumptive Republican nominee.

if she's confident in her ability to debate and air out her differences, then being first doesn't really matter. its pettty and a useless plea for sympathy.

What hack is Hillary's joke writer? Bruce Vilanch?

Seriously what she did was lame. And I dont get how all of the blind Clintonistas cry about her being treated unfairly. When she was the front runner she didn't complain about how the media treated her.

Now she just seems desperate. Not good. A woman with her level of intelligence should know better. And with 35 years of experience, she should have ALREADY wiped the floor with him.

But yet we are still here. Because America wants change. Having 2 families trade control of our country for the last 20 years is enough.

Wow…I can't believe she said that. Can't wait to see how that comment spins

I don't understand this comment– she doesn' t mind being asked the first question, yet she also doesn't mind complaining about it. Make up your mind.

I hear tomorrow the campaign plans to blame in part the Easter Bunny and Santa Clause for not delivering the nomination as promised….

It's funny — because it's true.

is it me or doesn't any one else can't see this clearly ?? Everytime the questions was asked to hillary first and she gives a proper answer. Obama follows up with his answer saying I agree with what Hillary says. Thats goes the same when she said she would meet with foreign presidency under proper guidelines and then obama said he agrees with Hilarry. Contracdicting himself earlier when he said that he would meet with and would not put forth any conditions.. I believe obama will say anything and change his story several times to get elected. and russert is EVIL !! he clearly is rooting for obama and i strongly believe the media is on obama's side..

WAKE UP! The only reason Obama sounded good at all in the last debate is because he had the luxury of piggybacking on her intelligent answers. Plus the press, CNN included, are in his pocket. IT IS OBVIOUS, so obvious it was the butt of the biggest joke on SNL this weekend.

He'll be elected, yes, and all you Obamaniacs will get what you deserve when he trips over himself in the Oval office.

God help us all.

Brilliant Charles! She should run Independent, and get 25% of the vote, and Obama can run Democrat and get 25% of the vote… And McCain will get 50% of the vote, and then, we can stay in Iraq for 100 years!

OK HILLARY DO YOU WANT TO BE THE FRONT RUNNER OR NOT????????? come on speak up this is a serious job you're applying for and we need serious people in that job, not somebody that whines and cries about EVERYTHING thats not going just their way all the time thank you…….

Why is she complaining about answering the quesiton first. just answer the question!

GO OBAMA!! You are sounding very intelligent on the debate

Hillary is a huge fake. She wears her visit to China "on behalf of women's rights" as if it was a huge badge. Fact was, despite a BOYCOTT of the China conference by women around the world due to China's terrible human-rights record, Clinton snubbed her nose at the human-rights issue and went anyway. Many women who cancelled the trip because of this human rights issue, were livid that she would snub her nose at the boycott. She was VERY active in promoting NAFTA; I recall every painful moment of watching that NAFTA trainwreck. In fact, Hillary Clinton abandoned her flailing health care plan to promote NAFTA. She has proven herself unreliable on healthcare, as pro-NAFTA, and as uncaring on human rights issues. She's a total fake, and a bad actress.

Deb IL…..they "cut her off" because she keeps interupting the moderators and she goes on and on without any end.

I would like to know who is the clowns that are alllowed to come up with these questions and who they put in the hot seat. These are SOOOO biased. This one and the last one too. I think these are set up, must be by the Washington newspeople. Now call that whining and guess who doesn't care…..

:- )

ROTFL Way to go Hillary. Nothing like a great sense of humour when their tossing rotten eggs and lemons.

Another striking difference between her and her Democratic Opponent. She can smile when they're stacked up against her.
And call a spade a spade without the stuttering, stammering and ahhhhhhhing the thought to it's torturous demise!

If he needs another pillow….HAHAHA …. I'm sure she'd fluff it for him too as she's the kind of gal who doesn't hold a grudge. She states her objections and gets back to business as usual unlike her opponent who has to plot his next trick to get even! HAHAHA

Tim Russert has a different tone when questioning Obama.

SHAME ON YOU!!!

Ok, if they give her the first question she complains and uuuh they are mean, if they dont give her the first question, (wait and see ) she will say that they prefer Obama, NONE can please this self center person, who always talk about me , myself and I. She complains no matter what, and if she is not complaining she cries, and if she is not crying her campaign is saying that Senator Obama's emails are false, and if she is not saying that she is saying that some states do not count and only those she chooses to say count, if she is not changing her mind about what she agreed with the DNC about MI and FL, and if she is not saying that she is lending herself more money; and blah blah blah the list goes on. . by God, cant she be honest? I know it is never too late to find your own voice, but she will not find it while in this campaing, she and bill need to go build houses in empoverished areas and drop the sense of entitlement they have. They need to feel and hear what people are saying. The people want Senator Obama as our next president and I for one am tired of the multiple personalities and of the attacks, insults, rethoric, old politics, dirty tricks, mocking, lies, and all of that which is so characteristic of her adn her campaing, and that of Bill.
we need a leader, not someone who has many personalities and faces and has no voice and who will never represent our voices.

Well, she wanted more debates. Now she complains that she does not like getting the questions first. She is running for President of our country! If she does not want tough questions, then she should run for some other office and stay in New York or Arakansas.

Obama/Edwards 2008

FYI, Hillary got all the questions first in the last debate because she lost the coin toss… which was stated by the moderators prior to the beginning of the CNN debate.

This is childish….can we talk about someone else. This is like the Clay Aiken drama. Look Hilary you lost. Have some respect for yourself. Try again next time and try to keep it clean. The real question is why is Mccain's wife in every picture.? It's like some hypnotizing ventriloquist maybe there is something newsworthy in that out of the air statement.

he talks and talks and talks…yet neither of the moderators cut HIM off.

I'm fed up with candidates and their supporters whining about press coverage. When the race is down to two candidates, Mrs. Clinton, you have nothing to complain about. Make your point to the American people, and if they like someone else better, so be it. You come across as petty and childish. I can't believe a Clinton is complaining about unfair media attention… you have nowhere near the uphill battle that other, more honest candidates such as Bill Richardson or Ron Paul have had.

You got it right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are going to rule!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She looks very tired tonight. I still don't get referencing SNL as a relevant source. I sure wish Obama would come back and remind her of the Halloween episode where Bill is played as a sleazy philanderer and ask her how valid she finds that skit.

why does no one ever cut him off?

What's this crap??? I can't watch the debate without upgrading my dish network? I thought this was a free country? Now I got to pay to hear the demicratic debate!!!!!!!

Life's not fair and it's not going to get any fairer with international relations as President of the USA. If she can't put up with her so-called "biased press" then she's not suitable for the presidency. You can't change the press, you can only change yourself. If she wants to become president so badly, then she should take matters into her own hands and do something.

Hillary is always getting treated unfairly, time and time again, and that is SO VERY WRONG! She is the BEST CANDIDATE!! SHAME ON ALL who have treated her unfairly, and that goes particularly for CNN.COM. It's boring already!!

Yes, yes, yes!!!

You go girl!!

SNL was so right!

If Hillary finds it hard to be asked a question first, who exactly would she expect to be answering first of the President? I see they keep cutting her off because she will not stop talking on her own. I see her also doing some back peddling. NAFTA and healtcare are good examples. It floors me that she thinks the good people of the U.S.A. don't know the difference. It's like watching a train wreck I can't look away. **shakes my head** Some times the old lion will not go down gracefully.

Obama 08 Yes We Can

Sen. Clinton does make a good point about having to field the first question of these debates. It's not an easy role to fill to go out on a limb with a response, an idea, then sit back and have her opponents, in her case tonight of two male media representatives and a male candidate, deconstruct what she said and explain how it's flawed. If Sen. Obama were to field the first question, then he would have to go through the same disadvantage as Sen. Clinton. It should have been a standard with all the recent debates between the two that the opening questions alternate.

I completely agree with Hillary but what else would you expect from the media.

Oh!…….experienced candidates and those who can take in charge from day one are now avoiding the chance to impress people for given the first question? ..strange to me….. Looser!!

ironic that cnn forgot the "n" in clinton, calling her clint in the blog talking about how the media ignores her lol

What a nasty woman. How can the world leaders take her seriously!!!???????

Geese! With all of the substantive information provided by Hillary Clinton to answer the questions, CNN decides to point out this irrelavent comment. Why? Is it because she is calling the media on a possible bias? Hmmm…….

From previous postings it is clear that I supports Senator Obama but I am watching the debate and do feel empahty for Senator Clinton not does she get the first questions but I am extremely disappointed with Tim and Brian whom I both have high regards for but it seems like they are ganging up on Mrs Clinton – it's like an organised attack and I'm waiting to see when they are going to ask my candidate some tough questions. She certainly holds her own among three men and I am a male but I have very little desire for male egoes gone wild, especailly one who was raised by a single mom! Come on guys this is shameless! And it seems that from the last debate that he won the toss but much preferred to go second so she might have a point …another vast right-wing conspiracy.

As a self proclaimed "fighter" she's coming across as a whiner who can't take the heat. Not a good night for the Clintons. True colors are shining through! I'm glad that Obama has taken the higher ground.

Hiliary is so full of it. She is sinking further and further! What a winer! She is so giving strong women a bad name! I have and will never vote for her! Go Obama!!

If anyone is watching the debate on MSNBC tonight, you'll see the obvious media bias. Obama doesn't even need to be present. Tim Russert is attacking Clinton at every turn; you'd think this disgusting man is part of Obama's campaign. Additionally, he begs Obama to comment on whatever Clinton says so that he can have the last word, but Hillary is continually cut off.

She's being bullied, especially by Russert. I can't believe it. Obama is rude. He keeps raising his hand, talking through her statements, and making faces. It's just rude.

That's when she bombed. It didn't take her long this time.

Looking like the witch she is. Rude, rude, rude.

hill gets the question first so barak can say i agree with hillary

The debate on MSNBC looks like a re-run of the skit on SNL! It is truly unbelievable and would be very funny if it were not so poorly done. Tim Russett really is over the top in attacking Hillary, he is a disgrace.

I am writing and watching the so called debate and totally agree with Hillary. Obama is being treated with kid gloves and afforded the opportunity to gauge what Hillary says and then piggyback on her comments. She was stopped in the middle of her comments by not only Barak, but also by the moderators. I have also noted that Barak is now backing off from hiscomments that he would withdraw all troops from Iraq from day one. It is obvious that he is trying to move to a more moderate positon just to gain votes from middle America.

I frankly don't buy this bull. He is what he is and he can't change that.
God help this Country if either one of these socialist democrats were to win in November.

she's old Washington.

Why does Obama get unlimited time to speak, but when Hillary is asked a questions, they keep cutting her off as she is speaking. The media has already determined that they want Obama.

Always the victim! Hillary is having a breakdown. It is over for her.

I noticed in the last debate on CNN that she got the first question most of the time, but I thought that because the two candidates have such similar views and policies that this was a disadvantage for Obama because he looked like he was copying off of Clinton. I saw this as an advantage for Clinton because she got to get the fresh and unrepeated answer out first.

very..very..intresting.

SHE IS WRIGHT TO HATE HOPE, BECAUSE SHE HAS NONE.

VOTE O B A MA

somebody! quick, get Hilary a tissue!!! poor thing getting picked on by everyone:-( I feel so bad for her….

Yeah, it's true and it's a shame that it took SNL to put a mirror in the face of the media. We've all seen it!!

It was like my children arguing over who gets the first slice of pizza.

This is ridiculous, she's showing desperation. Sad, just sad.

GO OBAMA!!!!!!

I'm glad she pointed out. At a debate each person is suppose to take a turn at getting to answer the question first, because the person who answers second has an advantage. It looks like it worked because they are now making Obama answer questions first. Fair is fair. The media seems to be bending over backwards for Obama. They need to make it fair.

Meltdown by any standards. She is debating Tim Russert. All Obama had to do was get out of the way.

So now she has replaced the vast right-wing conspiracy with the vast media conspiracy.

Ouch. That was an uncomfortable moment. Very cringy.

This is worse than that awful Xerox comment the other night.

Let the blame game begin. I think Hillary can call it quit now. She is not looking presidential at all. Obama appears more composed, presidentional, in control of the issues.
I think Obama did very well and won.

My felow Americans and my freinds in Ohio If you have a chance to look at the debate Hillary is sounding angry, defensive and just not presidential,. This is sad. She is not doing well. In contrast Barack Obama is relax, cool and colective. This is a good night for Barack Obama, in Ohio. I urge all to now go out and support Borack Obama. Hillary did supported NAFTA tonight she daid it her self.

Wow, that was awful! This is just as bad as the Xerox comment. What a clunker!!

The pundits will be talking about this tomorrow!

It actually was not funny. It sounded rather petty and silly. And she sounded bitter and angry. I am unimpressed

She is getting ridiculous using an SNL skit in a National debate…wow

Wow…….Going down in a blaze of disgust. This is exactly why I will NEVER vote for her.

PS Did anyone else catch it when she said that Barack looks like the likely nominee to face McCain? Did she just give up completely on winning?

Very petty and childish.

Hillary is looking crabby and whiny tonight.

Not a good night.

Shark jumping moment…..

LOL She really does. It kind of bites. Obama has been given more time to talk and explain his platform.
Hillary step it up and get your point across.

She's completely right. And Russert is so much ruder to her than to Obama. His tone is much more bitting and the questions are sharper. Give me a break!

She's petulant, Senator Clinton. It smacks of polished foot-stomping, unbecoming a candidate for the Presidency.

GOOD FOR YOU HILLARY! STAND UP TELL 'EM LIKE IT IS AND AND IF THE PEOPLE STILL DENY YOU THE DEMOCRATIC NOD….STAND TALL AND RUN AS AN INDEPENDENT! I WILL CONTINUE TO CONTRIBUTE TO YOUR CAUSE…BECAUSE YOU AR THE ONE TO LEAD US!

I thought she WANTED to be treated like a frontrunner.

Got anything else to whine about?

She's really grasping at straws here.

If your whining about that, you shouldnt be running for president!!!
Stop whining Hillary!

I don't blame her, I had already noticed that. They keep cutting her off too! These debates are such a joke…this kind of treatment just further encourages me to not vote for Obama if he does get the nomination.

Whiner.

Well pointed out.
