The consensus seems to be Obama took it. A lot of folks have been cynical about the "play nice" atmosphere. I kinda enjoyed it. Anyway hear we go. Sullivan thought Obama won. He's hates Hillary's guts, but in general he's always said that she's been the better debater. Dickerson over at Slate calls it tie, noting that both candidates got their rocks off. Ambinder gives a slight edge to Barack on account of his anti-war cred. And John Nichols makes the case that Hill and Bama should team up. Don't know how I feel about that one. But overall, I thought both candidates acquitted themselves well. I waould go with Dickerson and call it a draw.
