- Quote of the night, courtesy of the one and only Mary Tomback: "i'm anxiously awaiting your commentary. here's my commentary -- i hate hillary clinton."
- Obama has gotten MUCH better at these debates.
- Obama's declaration that he would meet with leaders of enemy countries, without preconditions, while risky at first, has turned out to be a smart move. His willingness to meet with Raul Castro contrasts his fresh perspective from Hillary's dated stance that we don't negotiate with our enemies.
- Nilda tells me that there's no "o" in "Raul."
- It's hard to blog about the debate and listen to it at the same time.
- Obama is not as cool as Bill Clinton was, but you'd trust him with your daughter.
- I'm surprised at how split the crowd was for Clinton and Obama.
- Campbell Brown is getting annoying.
- I haven't been that hungry today, maybe it was the Claritin D.
- Perhaps I should add Claritin D to my exercise routine.
- Whoever is running Obama's internet campaign should be given a cabinet-level post. Better yet, give him (or her) a military post.
- Clinton makes Obama a better candidate. She forces him to make policy decisions and to focus on substance.
- It's gonna be too late to watch Lost, isn't it?
- Hillary smiles when she knows she's getting her butt kicked.
- SNL is gonna need to get a new black guy to play Obama.
- Obama won this debate. Unless Hillary is able to inspire people, instead of simplying scaring them out of voting for Obama, she'll never be able to beat the excitement he generates.
- I should have set the dvr to go beyond 9:30. What happened at the end?

I will admit, I'm biased, but that's only because I'm CUBAN!! =)
I LOVE Obama for saying that, under no unceratin terms, he would meet with the leadership of Cuba (as well as other less than friendly countries) in order to bring about democratic change. We have to be willing to take the first step after more than 40 years of a failed embargo and 7 years of Bush damaging our foreign identity.
I agree with his belief that meeting with the POTUS should not be a privilege a country earns, but one that is seen as a step in normalizing relations between 2 countries.
Ditto, ditto wife. go obama. we think we're going to give him some money.
bw -- did you seriously miss the end?
I thought she was going to cry again. commentators said it redeemed her from her earlier stupid xerox remark. she was talking about wounded soldiers. then she said she was "honored" to be in this campaign with obama. a little two-faced given that she's also accused him of being a plagiarizing, slum-lord helping, inexperienced bad choice of a president.
we did miss the last (best) 10 mins, but I read the transcript on CNN this morning.
Although she may have been quite sincere in her closing, her nasty smiles when he was doing well always gives her away...
We donate all the time, recently been matching pledges too - it's cool, you get a personal e-mail from some happy new donor - it's a truly brilliant campaign fundraising system. LOL
Actually, it's likely that whoever is managing Obama's internet campaign will be given a cabinet post. He's planning on having a Chief Technology Officer, which is truly one of the coolest things about him, I think. This is also fun, speaking of technology.
Oh! And as much as I love that video, I really wish they had chosen the old "Two Tons Of Fan Mail" Super Feud song from that old SNL skit!
