1/31/08 -- Posted by Catherine Morgan I usually am not excited about watching these debates (I'm sure I must have mentioned that before), but I had a feeling tonight's debate was going to be different. And it was. It was respectful, informative, and ultimately historic. Both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton came off as presidential, and I imagine anyone watching tonight could picture either of these candidates as the next President of the United States. If you weren't clear about where these candidates stood on the important issues before tonight, this debate most likely was helpful to you. As the last debate before Super Tuesday (when 24 states will hold primaries or caucuses), this was a "super" way for the voters of those states to get to know both Barack and Hillary. Here are a few interesting moments of the debate. After these two opening statements, I knew I was going to enjoy watching this debate. It was obvious these candidates were going to play nice, and I was very happy about that. Obviously, both Obama and Clinton were pandering a bit to the Edwards supports, but you can't really blame them for that. This is the opening statement of Barack Obama... This is the opening statement of Hillary Clinton... Hillary explains how a Clinton can promote change. I think this clip had the quote of the night..."It took a Clinton to clean-up after the first Bush, and it might take a Clinton to clean-up after this second Bush." This quote got quite a bit of applause from the audience. Barack Obama on getting out of Iraq... Why elect Obama or Clinton instead of Mitt Romney? Dream Ticket????
