CNN Democratic Debate Video Recap
CNN Democratic Debate Recap — by Catherine Morgan
I usually am not excited about watching these debates (I’m sure I must have mentioned that before), but I had a feeling tonight’s debate was going to be different. And it was. It was respectful, informative, and ultimately historic. Both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton came off as presidential, and I imagine anyone watching tonight could picture either of these candidates as the next President of the United States.
If you weren’t clear about where these candidates stood on the important issues before tonight, this debate most likely was helpful to you. As the last debate before Super Tuesday (when 24 states will hold primaries or caucuses), this was a “super” way for the voters of those states to get to know both Barack and Hillary.
Here are a few interesting moments of the debate.
After these two opening statements, I knew I was going to enjoy watching this debate. It was obvious these candidates were going to play nice, and I was very happy about that. Obviously, both Obama and Clinton were pandering a bit to the Edwards supports, but you can’t really blame them for that.
This is the opening statement of Barack Obama…
This is the opening statement of Hillary Clinton…

Thanks for the recap!
It made me proud to be a Democrat to see two people engaged in a civilized debate on the issues. I believe that one of them will be our next president, and I feel hopeful about our future as a nation. Been a long time since I felt that way!
