He was right on

he was very very on tonight!!

Obamas response was measured and he avoided to score cheap points on Clinton even when he got the opening.He is a leader of substance.

Yes, We can

I think both candidates done really well tonight, both showed exceptional class and knowledge. I think its obvious that both have good ideas, what it really comes down to is who can push these ideas through congress. I personally believe that Obama will be better at this, considering alot of legislation he proposed was cosigned by republicans, John McCain even cosigned a few. This will especially be important if we get a republican based congress in 2010. Just my two cents.

Barack Obama sounded and looked like the Commander in Chief. Next President USA! Obama 2008.

I thought he was very effective, HRC was out of touch again, she tried to make him angry but Obama kept his coolnes

I will not vote for Clinton after her tactics exploiting prejudice like the turban game and the racial comments her husband and friends keep making, even if she were to get the nomination.

Hillary used an SNL spoof to prove media bias. She was puckered and prudish and stiff. Obama looked presidential, stayed focused and in respose to her vinegar filled quips offered many olive branches. I am a Republican but I have to admit Obama won the debate soundly. Give him the leadership of the Democrats and let the true debate begin!

Most presidential. Gobama!

Obama was very poised and controlled during the debate. I actually felt embarrassed for Hillary who seemed to be desperate to discredit Obama with things that were unrelated to the actual issues like the media basically saying they are picking on me.. reject...denounce play on words obviously and it was just kinda sad to see her act in that manner.

Did you hear Hillary say I will do whatever I need to do to win this election. Sent shivers down my spine. We have already witnessed what the Billary team was willing to do to stay in power. Barack had better get all his armor on.

His ultimate grace under fire will make for a truly remarkable Presidency and leader of the free world.

Obama won...by far. He was prepared, confident, cool, and presidential.

Obama has so much class!

Barack stayed on topic,then expanded.Clinton was stressed,when trying to prove her point.I am right,you are wrong,will not get the job done.Diplomatic,no. What was accomplished by attacking the moderaters? What authority has SNL in politics? It was over when she set that tone.

I am a proud long time Republican who would be proud to have Obama as my President, (sic J. Glenn) that is why I will be voting for him on March the 4th. Yes We Can!

Personally I belive that Obama wins everytime either Clinton opens their mouths.

Senator Clinton began offstride with her discordant accusations about her supposed mistreatment by the moderators, and followed this with a weak attempt at sarcasm by suggesting that they give Obama a pillow to sit on. Then near the end, she suggested that Senator Obama had not gone far enough in 'denouncing' Farrakhan, he needed to 'reject' him as she had done. This weak attempt at gamesmanship (denounce is a much more emphatic term than reject is) backfired as Obama handled this with his characteristic aplomb, saying, 'If the word reject Senator Clinton feels is stronger than the word denounce, then I'm happy to concede the point. And I would reject and denounce [him].' These attempts at gaining traction against the Obama ground-swell only play into his strengths, his ability to deflect an unfounded attack without resorting to an attack of his own, his ability to be conciliatory without backing down or appearing weak. This unflappability under fire should prove a tremendous asset if he becomes the occupant of the White House.

Good going your excellency!!! OBAMA 'O8

Perfect !!Obama '08

Hillary Clinton was not able to trip Barack Obama up in Ohio. I think that he won the debate hands down. He was substantive, humorous, quick, skilled, smart, prepared, and in control.

He's a safe pair of hands. But Hillary is a bit volcanic. I prefer the safe hands.

I believe that both candidates did well. But Hillary lost on her constant attacks and her referring to snl and Farrakhan.

She seems bitter and it showed. Our President should be able to contain emotions in times of stress.

Yes we can.........And we will

Obama was so classy in the way he handled Clinton. Binging a woman I felt I should support her but her behavior the past few days and during the debate made my decision to vote and campaign for Obama.

Regarding Obama's tremendous presentation in last nights OH debate. So proud of our Man! In ALL respects he gave a commanding and steadfast demonstration of common sense, wisdom, commitment, concern, class and diplomacy. Again, something this country needsto lead us, and make us proud of our Commander in Chief.

But it is a characteristic of wisdom not to do desperate things. Thoreau

Sorry hacks as sportscasters from gladiator games.

Obama was stellar. He really impressed me and was convincing, capable and cool headed last night. LEADERSHIP ability!
