I will be back tomorrow with a full analysis, but right now, just 5 minutes after the debate, let me give you my initial reaction.
Hillary Clinton: Came of charming and presidential. She didn't lose and she wasn't upstaged, that makes her the winner.
Barack Obama: His worse performance yet. He was sloppy and unusually un-charismatic.
John Edwards: the runner-up tonight. He was forceful and set himself up as the alternative to Clinton.
Joe Biden, Chris Dodd: not bad, not great, just okay.
Bill Richardson: again, this guy can not debate. He only talks about his past accomplishments instead of what he will do in the future.
Dennis Kucinich: He's getting better at debates, but it wasn't anything that can help his terribly low poll numbers.
Mike Gravel: As strange as this guy must be, I actually thought he did a good job getting his point across tonight, regardless of how weird his points are.
