I don't think the people in the audience thought all major points were talked about since they gave boo's as if to say, that's it!

It was one of the worse debates that I have ever seen. Seems that the primary has turned into a who says who did what or lied on what.

Let's hear about issues that matter such as the cost of Health Care, the war in Iraq, the Energy Crisis, the Crisis in Our Schools, gas prices and THE ECONOMY. It's like they touched on a little of these subjects and then time had run out and the debate was over. How about asking Hillary if she is for or against NAFTA since she has supported it at one time and now she is not. We deserved an explanation on the whole Colombia Trade Agreement and the Mark Penn issue. These PA voters would have like to know how and what will they do to get those lost jobs back in PA. This is what Obama was complaining about. It wasn't that he was being asked tough questions, he wanted to answer important questions related to the PA voters but instead he had to answer flag pin questions and does Rev. Wright loves his country as much as him? Good grief!

Here is an article that states who the real loser in the debate was, ABC.

In Pa. Debate, The Clear Loser Is ABC

That debate was awful. ABC has no journalistic integrity left.

Iraq, taxes, the economy, healthcare. We have two hours to hear about them, two, but only half of the debate was on those issues, let alone exploring education, non Iraq foreign policy such as why did Clinton pledge to provide economic stimulus to Northern Ireland? or what will Obama's African policy actually be? So much is glossed over that we will end up paying for, and maybe we should, but let's at least talk about the whole picture, not just the things the media finds titillating.

It is all rhetoric.

Remember Bill Clinton's main objection healthcare reform and look where he got.

Can somebody on this board please tell me what you would like done about the econmy that the president elcet can do? We already know these two candidates are going to raise taxes.

As for their foreign policy plans these two candidates love to dodge actual questions and the moderators seem to have them on a tight leash so that would have been nice to touch on then again it has not been touch on in any debate has it?

Well you contradict yourself here. On one hand you are saying no need to hear what their plans are, that is all rhetoric, and on the other hand, you are certain, based on rhetoric we are not pay heed to, that they will raise taxes? Which is it?
