Obama (5.00 / 3) (#27)

While I think Clinton won in the traditional debating criteria, Barack Obama did something bigger tonight - he really reached out on behalf of the Democratic Party and went the extra yard to put the race brouhaha to bed.

Edwards has a pedestrian performance imo.

Edwards (5.00 / 1) (#37)

I'm learning more and more how Edwards' legislative record leaves him too much for him to apologize for ( I did not know of 2001 BR bill and Yucca Mountain veto override vote ).  While I think his conversion to the right opinion is genuine, I'm bothered at how wrong he was and have not heard why he was so wrong.

Clinton replaced Edwards as my # 2.

Unfortunately (5.00 / 1) (#43)

Edwards' early votes prove that just because you don't accept PAC and lobbyist money doesn't mean you'll vote progressive.  Overall Clinton - that corporate democrat - has a much more progressive voting record than Edwards.    

He got much better as time wore on, although I'm not sure if that was due to a genuine change of heart, the fact he decided not to run for re-election to the Senate or his decision to run for president.  I like to think it's the first one, but he is a politician.
