The winner?

Posted: Thursday, April 26, 2007 9:07 PM by Hardball

When Pat Buchanan and Bob Shrum agree so definitively on something - what else is there to say?

And when I agree with them, it's even more odd!! Best line of the night Gravel: "You know what's worse than a soldier dying in vain? More soldiers dying in vain"

Gee, we are declaring people a winner based on lack of errors, does that fortell the rocky road ahead?

I agree with Obama - that every person should have catastrophic health insurance. It should be provided by the government for those who don't have it. It prevents bankruptcies. I think health care will be a top issue in the election. Nobody was asked about medicare. This is a very serious problem that nobody wants to face. And boomers will be retiring in the next few years.

Oy, Shrum and Pat just told Hillary she did a "heckuvajob." She's doomed

Geeeez...you air the debates when west coast folks are driving home. A call to NYC tells us you'll reair for us at 11pm when we're all going to bed. Lousy decision MSNBC. Don't ever do that again to us. We vote too out here remember. Mr. Abrahms better rethink that one. And bring back Ron Reagan. He's great!!! And Chris, watch it...you cut off Andrea M a lot...not good.

The Washington pundits are supporting their candidate again.You know Washington insiders stick together. I guess when you know the Clinton's for years and go to Correspondence Dinner's with them you favor them. I guess Hillary bored you so much she "knocked it out the park". People in America dislike Mrs. Clinton. Both Dems and Republicans. I suggest you insiders should get out of Washington some time. As your polls suggest the person with the most substance was Obama.

Hillary is a pro, she won't make mistakes like Obama is what I am hearing on MSNBC. This woman had a southern black accent and compared herself to a slave hero in the last few weeks. But it does not stop these pundits from acting like she is beyond mistakes. Is MSNBC trying to annoint her or judge the candidates?

It's so disturbing to hear H. Fineman characterize such absurdities such as Hillary's "retaliate" verbiage as the "correct" answer simply because Fineman believes it was the politically correct. Fineman and other pundits shouldn't be evaluating the success or failure of a debater simply because they know how to pander the best. Why don't such talking heads as Fineman and Shrum understand that we want thoughtful leaders, not successful panderers.

Hillary stole the show. Truly a professional and never sacrificing one ounce of her feminity while remaining tough (but wise) on terror and any future attacks. She has our vote. No more Obama for us. He's a novice and he is simply not focused.

Hillary nailed it tonight! While Barack is a promising student in training, Hillary is the best and the brightest. And, boy, do we really need a strong leader like her ... now more than ever.

Poor John McCain -- an inveterate loyalist, he cannot say, "I told you so ..... if Rumsfeld, Cheney and the Princes of the Pentagon had listened to me four years ago we'd have won that war by now." Instead, he can only imply that if elected he'll do it right. The Democrats make it worse not just ending it immediately, boom. But the troops, who display America at its best, fight and die for their buddies each day AND for the people "who'll have to keep living here after we're gone."

Same old gruel, warmed over and served to a hungry audience. Look at their legislative agenda and their voting records !!....that's who these candidates are and what they stand for. The "pundits"? Well, they gotta eat too.
