Watching the debate? Drop your thoughts here. TPM is live blogging here.
Oh, and if you were wondering about Rep. Kucinich, he got bottom.
UPDATE: Obama scores some important endorsements today. The largest paper in Nevada and a major California labor leader.

Hillary also received the endorsement of Richard CHavez today... (SaveElmer - 1/15/2008 10:49:46 PM)
Brother of Cesar Chavez...not unimpressive...

Man, look at that glare! (DanG - 1/15/2008 11:16:40 PM)
I would NOT want to be the object of Hillary's disdain right now. That picture will haunt my dreams.
I think you need to explore (tx2vadem - 1/15/2008 11:33:07 PM)
this thing you have with Senator Clinton. It is fascinating what a visceral response she evokes in you. =)
Also, I notice you call Senator Clinton by her first name, but you never refer to Senator Obama in the same way. Is that intentional?
It's on her bumper sticker (DanG - 1/15/2008 11:53:54 PM)
Obama's Bumper Sticker says "Obama"
Hillary's says "Hillary"
It's kind of ingrained in my head that way now.
As for "exploring" my thing with Hillary, I really don't need to. She rubs me the wrong me. She represents the dark side of politics to me: all about power and ego. Again, that's what it seems like to me. I'm not going to argue on the topic one way or the other. You're never going to convince me to "like" the Clintons, and I doubt I can convince you not to.
So let's leave it at that. :)
I agree Dan (Doug in Mount Vernon - 1/16/2008 7:01:03 PM)
I don't dislike HER, I dislike the politics that she represents.
Her signs say Hillary.... (WillieStark - 1/15/2008 11:54:31 PM)
Why did Edwards throw Obama a softball on campaign finance reform? (relawson - 1/15/2008 11:22:30 PM)
Did he plan on asking the same question of Senatory Clinton to show the distinction? He had expected two questions, but they changed the rules in the middle of that.
As an Edwards supporter, it seems as if he had an opening there to ask Clinton a tough question. Yet he asked a question that Obama could answer in a way to make him look good. I would have asked that question to Senator Clinton, not Obama.
I was wondering about that too . . . (JPTERP - 1/16/2008 12:20:03 AM)
maybe GE's corporate intervened and said shouted in Brian Williams ear "We see exactly where this one is going -- they only get ONE question! There is no way that voters are going to know where Mark Penn's money is coming from."
Good debate. (JPTERP - 1/16/2008 12:23:33 AM)
I wish that the tone of the campaign echoed the tone of tonight's debate.
There were some points of contrast, but each candidate stayed focused on the issues. I learned something new about each of the candidates beyond the soundbytes. A first as far as these debates go -- some real substantive answers from all of the candidates.
