Well said -- ABC should be ashamed.

In the Chicago "Black Sox" scandal of 1912 a litle boy said to "Shoeless Joe Jackson (a star of the team) "Say it ain't so Joe" As a long time admirerer of Charlie Gibson, I have to say this to him today...."Say it aint so, charlie. You are either doing the bidding of your corporate "elite" owners, or you are in the tank for the Clintons...either one or both! Say it aint so, Charlie.

Clearly, in no way can that type of behavior in journalism be tolerated by the public. That was a shot fired across the bow of the people - it's people vs. media if that becomes a normal "debate". It was an intentional failure for providing the voters of PA with real information. I won't even comment on who won or lost. There was no winner of that -- the public was the loser.

its a shame that a former clinton staff george was allowed to moderate a debate,the people of pa deserve better,America deserve better,i am undecided but my vote now goes to obama,my family previously for clinton will be voting for obama.this was clearly a hack job to smear obama,the media lied to us and gave us bush now they want to force john mccain down our throats so we will be at war for 100 years.ABC news should be ashamed.shame on ABC and FOX.daily news and philly enquirer rocks

TERRIBLE QUESTIONS, IT DID NOTHING TO ADDRESS THE NEEDS OF AMERICANS. JUST A WITCH HUNT FOR BOTH CANDIDATES.

Tammie I agree with you wholeheartedly, no winners in that debacle last night, just a bunch of losers.

It wasn't a debate, it was an ambush. Hillary did well - which isn't too tough when the moderators beat your opponent for you. Did anyone notice the continued closeups of Chelsea, Rendell and Nutter? The entire thing was biased and Hillary responded like a shark in the bloody water. Her type of politics, to be sure. I was an Obama supporter before the "debate", but am more now steadfast than ever. We need change and we need it now.

Comment removed.

The real issues concerning the voters eliminated and only totally unrelated issues where put to the candidates. Clintongate, lost as she is just a political lobbyists candidate. Obama has more of the common sense answer, when all issues unrelated issues address to him. The voters wanted answer to their, stressful lives along with the bitter taste in their mouths as to what happen to their American Dream!? As a relocated Pennsylvanian, who lived in Philadelphia and the Pocono Hills, and saw both sides of the coin in how/why people think/say along with the situation that is stressing all races and faiths! Senator Obama (White and Black American) has/is living the reality of what it is truly the America Scenario and Voice! And, so far has reached out to UNITE NOT DIVIDE because this is a part of his heritage! Voices of Americans have join this truly Historic Movement with Pride being put back with Honesty in the Values of Americans, which only has been stemmed by Senator Barak Obama! God Bless America and the Next President Barak Obama 2008!

ABC is licensed to use the public airwaves. After last night's performance by George Stephanopoulos and Charles Gibson, I wonder why ABC deserves to keep that privilege. It is clear from their shallow, right wing biased, uninformative questions that Charles Gibson, George Stephanopoulos and their producers are clueless about their responsibilities to inform the public.

From beginning of the debate, with the whole annoying distraction of asking these candidates to run on the ticket with the other. We are to presume these are compatible democrats. They are not. I am one of many who would never vote with a Hillary Clinton on the ticket. As an American, I am offended by my candidate being asked more than once to profess his patriotism. Where is his flag pin? I don't wear one, I don't see Hillary wearing one? Did Bill have one? Is that the pin you get that marks your patriotism or your memebership in the great one world government? Barack Obama is being American Politicked. His truths are scrutinized, and Hillary's lies are washed down. Every week we get a "good old boy announcement from Bill Clinton, old Slick Willey". Hillary is not very presidential as she stands up there and sheepishly says, well, I just think the American People ,.blah blah blah. Then in the next statement, Hillary says well, I misspoke and I apologized. I am tired of all of this, and I hope that this primary ends soon.

Great Job. I am so afraid that if Obama really does get elected, many people who vote for him are going to regret it. So many people who voted for Bush are so ashamed they won't admit it. People don't do this again. Really look at him You say "Slick Willey" Wait. You will be just as ashamed if you vote for Obama. He is nothing but a pretty boy. If he got upset over last nights questions. Just wait. He will never make it.

If I ever for one second harbored the thought of voting for Hillary it's now gone. She was practically salivating during that lynching last night. She was let off easy. No mention of Penn, no metion of the $800,000 her family received from the Columbians, and Obama made public his 2007 tax returns. Where are her's and still no mention of the Clinton Library donor list that she promised to make public. I'm surprised she didn't bring a bag of marshmallows to that roast. What a disgusting woman.

Worst debate so far. I agree with the first comment. Since when does a network have the temerity to ask the candidate to "pledge" that they will take the troops out of Iraq within a certain time frame. Outrageous. Both candidates should be annoyed, and neither was helped.

I finally watched the debate on the internet and what a mess. It was in fact a direct stragetic set up. Hillary stood there like a stuffed hen and affirmed the insults hailed @ Obama and chimmed in when it was convient. I must say, that I respect Senator Obama even more now as he tried to redirect the mess to REAL issues. He delivered thoughtful, and truthful responses to the retoric. He really SLAMMED her when she tried to expand on the Ayers comment when he told her that her husband PARDONED two of the people associated with Ayers. I am making a donation and will be in PA today for a canvassing.
