Comments on: Democratic Presidential Debate Analysis http://penndems.org/archives/81 Wed, 08 Oct 2008 08:30:46 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5 By: Joe Malunda http://penndems.org/archives/81#comment-100 Joe Malunda Sat, 03 Nov 2007 19:52:35 +0000 http://blog.penndems.org/archives/81#comment-100 Joe Gross, I completely agree about your opinion on Hillary's performance at the debate. It seems that she continues to be an extremely polarizing figure-- I've seen analysis from reputable organizations claiming her to be the "winner" of the debate, and from other organizations claiming that she was one of the big losers. We'll see how she fares in future debates, but I do agree that regardless of how she answered the questions, she received a raw deal from the questions that were actually presented to her and the other candidates. While I actually like Hillary to a certain extent but don't support her as my number one choice because of her electability during the general election (45% of the country would not vote for her unless she did something amazing between her winning the primary and the general election), I will say that this debate did nothing to either harm or improve my opinion of her.

It's hard to analyze this debate in my opinion because everybody was piling on hillary from the first question. Obviously with this as the night's running theme it's hard for her to have a good debate no matter how she answers (or doesnt) the questions! I think she held up well under fire but still taking so many shots can't be good for any candidate. I've read in some places that the debate was a major success for Hillary and other places that she totally bombed. I'm not sure we can fully judge the implications though until the next debate when we see where they go from here. Interesting analysis, anton.
