Where did each of your candidates slip up?
Obama: VA veteran thing. I really didn't like his answer to that...what about the others?

10. I missed that
But I thought Dennis didn't help himself with his response to the Bin-Laden question. I realize he was just giving an honest answer but if you have a shot to take Bin-Laden out you can't compare that to assassination. The guy is a terrorist, not a head of state.

I just thought it was a clumsy answer.

3. Obama needs to work with humor and follow the questions better
I did not like his response to the Bill Clinton question. It was a dumb question but he should have quickly answered it and just moved on. He unfortunately didn't really address it but talked about America and sticks...


Hillary needs to not cackle when she laughs.

4. I'm tired of the Bill Clinton questions
What relevance does his future really have on deciding who gets the nomination?

Obama - yeah the VA question, but I was impressed with his overall debate performance.

8. yeah
a more interesting question would have been "what would you do with George W. Bush" - THAT would have produced interesting answers.

7. Obama: VA question.
He started talking about something else and started to answer the question when his time was almost up. He should've just got right to the point instead of bringing in another topic.

Other than that, I think he did much better overall than the first debate.

9. Ever seen a boxing champion take his opponents too lightly... but still squeak out a win?
That is how I viewed Clinton's performance. She still won in my book, but was probably surprised at how well Obama performed based on his previous performance.
