I am curious to see what the response is from the rest of the classes. I personally think it is interesting to see the progression of the other candidates through the debates. At first, it seemed that Obama was acting like the leading candidate by lacking the necessary aggression. However, he listened to the media and turned it around with the help of Edwards in this most recent debate. I also found it interesting to watch Hillary’s response to the criticism. Obviously, she was prepared, but for once she seemed to be backed into a bit of a corner. Her strategy to change the topic to the Republicans was interesting, but did not answer the questions posed by the other candidates.
