Last night's debate gave me hope for the future of the world. No, I am not gushing...the USA does influence the world and the debate last night was classy and informative and encouraging. Would not the whole world benefit from this kind of debate? I think so. I am a Canadian neighbour, fond of my Amercian friends, and a landowner/snowbird .

I am however very impressed with Obama and will more than likely vote for him, unless he picks Clinton as his running mate. Obama responds to questions with well thought out and very consistant answers. Clinton on the other hand side steps the answer and goes off on a political ra-ra speach about the democrats beating the repulicans. This is not a party popularity contest and americans want direct answers as to what the new president will do to better the country for all of us. Most of the people I have spoke with do not care about what party the candidates belong to we, want the best person for the job.

Of oourse if this was in South Carolina, he would have made a very fast move and would have pulled it right out from under her and she would have hit with a "thud". Oh wait, he did that by winning by the larger margin. Yet, this is a different week and a different place and these two candidates seemed more presidential and more civil than what transpired the night before, with the yapper "maltese" McCain going after that little yorkie yapper, Romney. At least last night, one could watch, listen and concentrate on well thought out answers to the questions. Did they have differences, sure. However, unlike the night before, they went ahead and discussed and debated their differences like adults and did not resort to the yipping and yapping of the maltese vs the yorkie, I mean, Romney and McCain. Have the Republicans gone to the dogs? Time to put them in the kennel and have the Senators from NY and IL throw away the key.

I was one of the many early voters. Only those who have waited until the last minute to make up their mind may be affected. How do you think early voting is being taken into account my the major campaigns? You really can no longer count on everyone voting on the same day. It will have no effect on my vote.

But the most important one? I don't think so. At times this Debate seemed almost too friendly. I had to wonder for a moment if either of them was really running for President. But when the dust settled and fog cleared, I have to say I believe Barack Obama won this one. He was clearly on top of his game, he had the clear facts and was able to clear draw a disticntion of the differences without alienting voters, especially the youth. A Visibly tired Clinton was very noticeable and she seemed to be a bit off step as of late, lacking the competitve fire she is known for. So my answer....again is Barack Obama is the clear winner in my opinion. Jack, I believe this Debate will indeed be important to Super Tuesday. But the most important one? I don't think so.

I must say Hillary won my vote last night. It apears to me she can actually answer questions, unlike Obama. Obama just runs around the question for about 10 minutes, confuses the poor uneducated people, and then tries to divert to another idea or thought. I think in about 10 years Obama might have what it takes, but for now I agree with HIllary...it will take another Clinton to clean up after the Bush administration!

It was also rather boring. I don't think either of the participants said anything that would change any voter's mind. It will have little or no impact on the way anyone votes, Tuesday or next November. The debate was civil, polite - I might even say elegant. It was also rather boring.
