Hillary is talking down to the audience. Obama talks like he respects their intelligence.

[Bonobo]

That smug, amused look on her face is making a bad impression on the general public.

7. NOT

She is engaging the audience in the conversation while Obama lectures them and throws out platitudes

[scheming daemons]

That's why the audience is giving Obama more and louder cheers?

...busymom, you're seeing what you want to see.

The "applause-o-meter" is way in Obama's favor so far.

[busymom]

21. It's pretty even...

but he gets applause after stumbling over his words and then throwing out a canned platitude...she gets applause after her concise, clear talk about the issues.
