By Josh Marshall

When Obama started off, I thought he was a little iffy and uninspired in his response. But then the rest of the three were each worst than the last. So now I don't know what to think.

9:26 PM ... In fairness to all the candidates in both debates, the fatigue from all of them is palpable.

9:38 PM ... Okay, now we're getting somewhere. Starting at about 9:30, that was a very powerful exchange. I'm not certain who got the better of it in as much as I think each of the three hit their key points effectively. Obama's very solid. Edwards really tried to slam the door on Hillary permanently. She was ... I'm not certain what the right word is, enraged? But it was a good response. Impassioned in ways that I think will play very well with some and probably not well with others. But really captured her argument as well as, I think you have to say, her anger at being in this position.
