    We thought it was good how Barack appeared confident and spoke well. It was interesting to note that he claimed to offer a different way for politics, and also that he would appeal a lot on the grassroots level.

    In this following article, Barack vows to make a stand against hilary. Earlier, he had questioned some of her statements, but was hesitant in being too forceful. The article was written just before the Democratic debate that took place on October 30th.

    Comments:
    Robert – Down with Hillary! At least someone is attacking her…
    Madeline – This article provided a lot of information on the differnences between the Democratic candidates, and showed how they clashed
    Tiffany – This article showed an aggressive side of Obama, along with the debate, which probably leads to some viewing him as a strong debater.
    Patrick – In yesterday’s Democratic debate, Barack and John Edwards particularly questioned Hillary Clinton’s honesty. It was entertaining, and seemed as if Barack stuck with his claim. Still, it didn’t seem to harm Hillary much, as she appeared composed throughout the debate.
    Micheal – I don’t know if it’s such a good idea to have inner party disputes, and it probably won’t reflect well for whoever is running for the presidency in the future.

      Obama is the man when it comes to debates: 1) He always answers the questions without getting off track 2) He doesn’t just bash the candidate that takes a jab at him 3) His answers are always clear, confident, and straight foward.
      GO OBAMA
