Chuck Todd: "The focus on this debate for so many in New Hampshire and the media was twofold -- how would Obama handle being the frontrunner and how would Clinton handle be the challenger. Well, thanks to a subdued format, Obama seemed to pass his test with flying colors... I'm not sure David Axelrod could have scripted this debate better if he did it himself."
Rick Klein: "Edwards may have turned in the strongest pure performance. But that will be overshadowed by a couple of stand-out Clinton moments. She let it all out tonight -- the entire book on Obama. But she opened the book on herself with those flashes of anger. New Hampshire voters don't like candidates who feel entitlted to nominations -- they get to decide, things are not foreordained and candidates are not inevitable. Sen. Clinton had some moments tonight she'll want to take back."
Chris Cilliza: "The challenge Clinton faced in tonight's debate -- and the challenge
she faces in the New Hampshire primary more broadly -- is that Edwards
clearly believes his path to the nomination requires bouncing out
Clinton to create a one on one race with Obama over who is the true
change agent in the field."
Marc Ambinder: "Iowa victor Obama had a target on his back, but he’s acquired a Kevlar vest as a frontrunner. Like Clinton tonight, he was unflappable."
