Barack drew some phenomenal reviews for his performance tonight...
Fox News-- Frank Luntz on Focus Group Results:
He is off the charts. I mean, this is as high as it can go. He’s explicit. He has drawn the contrast. He has hit a home run... [H]e seems to represent people rather than politics.
CNN-- Mary Snow on NH/Nevada Responses:
We're here with 24 democrats, independents, who thought that Senator Hillary Clinton would be the best performer here tonight, but the results that we just got in, this is a focus group, show that Barack Obama got the most favorable in terms of the best performance from the 24 people who are here tonight.” “Senator Barack Obama was showing some favorable responses to his answers. Some of the things that he got favorable responses were when he talked about fighting lobbyists, particularly on health care."
Washington Post-- Chris Cillizza from The Fix:
Time and time again Obama sought to take specific questions and broaden them into a conversation over who represented real change in the field. He castigated lobbyists and special interests in Washington, offering a sweeping condemnation of business as usual (by both parties) in the nation's capital. "We don't need just a change in political parties," said Obama. "We need a change in attitudes of the people representing Americans."
What'd you guys think?
