I haven’t even watched the debate yet–we videotaped it and will watch after the kids are in bed.
If you watched, what were your impressions?

I saw most of it
I think Biden did very well. Gravel made some good points, but came across as an angry loony (which he might be). He and Kucinich probably had too much time. Edwards, and Clinton all did well enough and didn’t hurt themselves at all. Obama’s charisma showed on the debate stage and it was interesting to see Kucinich and Gravel go after him about being anti-war. Edwards and Clinton all did well enough and didn’t hurt themselves at all. I was disapointed with Richardson. He hogged the time and every answer had at least 3 or 4 parts before they cut him off. Note to Richardson: we aren’t looking for 12 point plans, we are looking for someone to lead based on principles. We can get to the minute details later on. I don’t remembver was Dodd there?

6 good candidates
I recorded the debate and have only watched half of it. Based on the first half, my overall impression is that we have six good, credible candidates. I suspect they would all make a good president. Richardson did seem a bit odd at times.

David Yepsen of the Register weighs in
He thinks Dodd, Biden and Richardson all did well (the netroots consensus seems to be that it wasn’t a great night for Richardson). He wasn’t impressed with Obama, Clinton, Edwards or the format of the debate.
