I'm not surprised that they were full of crap as often as not. What was really amazing to me was the absurdity of the whole thing. So what if Hillary worked for WalMart decades ago? And if Obama really did say (he apparently didn't) Reagan had a good idea or two, so what? They act like it'd be blasphemy to ever admit any Republican ever had a good idea. It's crazy.

Both Hillary and Obama showed they weren't above partisan hackery and personal attacks at the debate. And in so far as that, I would say Hillary won. Previously Obama had managed to give the impression of being "above it all", but Hillary finally managed to drag him down to her level and I think that's a big win for her. He's fighting on her terms now.
