After watching the debate again, a few things stood out.

Here they are, off the top of my head:

Biden gave the best answer to who could bring the country together, citing his 30 years of bi-partisan work in foreign policy, and his Iraq plan that was "waiting inside his desk drawer." Obama was a close second on answering how he would bring the country together.

They all gave good or excellent answers on Supreme Court appointments and how they would determine their nominees. They were even complimentary of each other at times. I think Biden and Obama stood out the best on this, perhaps because they both have such a grasp of the Constitution (Biden from his long experience in the Senate and Obama from his years teaching Constitutional law).

The the best soundbite for Obama is when he stood up to Blitzer's "what ifs" with the line about being optimistic about America. That would be great one for a T.V. spot.

2. I missed parts of it the first time.

CNN happened to be rerunning it, and I actually didn't watch the whole thing the second time, but now I think I've seen most of it...except the part I've heard something about Clinton being asked if she prefers diamonds or pearls? Didn't see that part.

I have to say though the 5 minutes or so given to fawning over Clinton as the only woman in the bunch was a bit too much. At that point it I wasn't sure if it was a debate or a Clinton campaign rally.

3. They ALL did Good ...Hillary more than held her own...Look for the GOOD and you will find it

4. I thought Clinton did alright.

Her weakest moment was attempting to defend Kyl-Lieberman. Her strongest point was probably on supreme court nominees; all of them did well with that one.

5. There was no debate.

It was a question & answer session with an obvious corporate MSM agenda to direct and lead the populous in the topics and candidates it wants to choose for us to consider. It was a farce, not a debate. Americans television is so stupid to pass this BuShit as informative. Wake up, America! You are being anesthetized!

6. Biden teaches Constitutional Law

Since 1991, Biden has been an adjunct professor at the Widener University School of Law, where he teaches a seminar on constitutional law.
