MORE ON THE DEMS' DEBATE

Taking a look at what I wrote yesterday and comparing that to what others have written, I think my assessment was pretty accurate. New York Times' William Safire chose winners fairly similar to the ones I cited:

So who won this Derby, besides George? Lieberman and Gephardt finished in a dead heat, with Kerry closing and Edwards off the pace.

I disagree about Kerry, though as I go back and re-watching some parts, he was stronger than I may have allowed yesterday, but I still wouldn't call hm a winner.

Meanwhile, the Philadelphia Inquirer's Dick Polman chose exactly the same winners (Lieberman, Gephardt, Edwards, Graham) and losers (Kerry, Dean) as did Armed Prophet.

If you haven't seen the debate yet, you can stream it from C-SPAN's website. Check it out; you might be surprised -- it's pretty entertaining.
