But, if CNN hoped to help Hillary and take down Obama they were sadly informed by the audience that they were having none of it.
She got zero reaction to her snide comments on Obama and only got polite applause when she came in and at the end.
When Obama was introduced the audience was very lively and big time response during and at the end.
I am thinking this the audiences way of letting Hillary and her cohorts at CNN they are not buying what they are selling and are firmly with Obama. They will not allow the swiftboating attempt.
I am just surprised that after the media has declared his campaign dead several times already this season and he keeps defying them and their conventional wisdom, why they have not gotten it that the people are not playing the medias or the old fashioned politics of the clintons and the gop this time.

Here was my first response, which you sadly and frankly disgustingly have fallen into:

It was about faith and coming together for better causes, so the commentary and punditry will naturally be about hate and how each candidate did better than the other.

“Hit it out of the park.” ??? to add on, you were cliched. Pathetic.

I'm generally disgusted having to think about what will ensue, so don't take it personally but your quick missive was simplistic and horrible.

Obama very much shares Bush's agenda on "abstinence" which was again allocated way too much money, a program that is not working.<br>Obama was out of touch with age groups of girls, not so much the 12 years old, but the 14-17 yr. group. Again, he call the mistake "Dumb", and doesn't<br>place responsiblity on the boys!<br>As always, it is expected that in his debates/forums he tends to run the middle<br>of the road, always play it safe, heck he has never been sent to the corner like<br>Hillary has!

Hillary has!
