First Read: “Who was the winner of the first Democratic debate in 2007? From our recollection, it was John Edwards. And who didn’t quite look that great at that April 2007 showdown? Barack Obama. Translation: What’s more important is how these candidates improve over the course of the primary reason — instead of how they performed in their first debate.”
Rick Klein: “The first debate was a reflection of the field. There was no true winner, just like there is no true frontrunner in the field. The debate revealed weaknesses in virtually all the candidates, as well as the relatively weak positions of those placed in the middle of the action by virtue of their polling positions.”
