Well pointed out.

Whiner.

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.

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

She's really grasping at straws here.

I thought she WANTED to be treated like a frontrunner.

Got anything else to whine about?

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!

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

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!

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.

Shark jumping moment…..

Very petty and childish.

Hillary is looking crabby and whiny tonight.

Not a good night.

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?

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

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

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

The pundits will be talking about this tomorrow!

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.

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.

Ouch. That was an uncomfortable moment. Very cringy.

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

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

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

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.

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!!!!!!

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!!

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

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

VOTE O B A MA

very..very..intresting.

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.

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

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.

she's old Washington.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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!!

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.

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.

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…….

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

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

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!!

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

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.

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

You go girl!!

SNL was so right!

Yes, yes, yes!!!

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!!

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.

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!!!!!!!

why does no one ever cut him off?

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

Tim Russert has a different tone when questioning Obama.

SHAME ON YOU!!!

:- )

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

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…..

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

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.

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

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

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…….

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!

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.

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..

It's funny — because it's true.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

Who the heck is Clint????

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!

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.

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

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" .

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.

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.

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

How is it decided who answers first?

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

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.

Ladies first……its polite….get over it

GO YOUNG PEOPLE WE ARE THE FUTURE

GO OBAMA

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!

That kind of leadership inspires me.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

She is right he is favour son of media especially CNN

GO HILLARY!!!!!!!

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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..

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.

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.

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 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"

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

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!

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…..

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

Hillary,

Do you want some cheese with your "whine"

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.

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

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.

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

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

It's great to watch her lose.

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

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?

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

Chalk another one up for Clinton race-baiting.

Utterly reprehensible.

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?

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

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.

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?

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.]

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.

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!!

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???????

Whiner in Chief.

LMAO.

All that knowledge, but no people skills.

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.

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.

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

Hillary was right!

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.

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

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

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 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.

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.

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!!

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

He regurgitates her stance on everything.

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

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

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!!!

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

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

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

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!

Sure doesn't look good for Hillary…

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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…

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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?

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

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.

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.

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

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.

I think Hillary just realized Obama is qualified to run!

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.

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.

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??

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

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.

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 %

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!!!!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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

Yes Hillary. I admire both Clinton and Obama. But Hillary has taken the heat for years and years and years. I"ll support he
