During the closing of the debate, there were a number of Boo's and what sounded like a mob scene during Charlie Gibson's closing. He admitted they were upset in the closing.

They were obviously upset abut the questions asked. As well, every time Obama said we had to concentrate on real issues, they crown applauded. I've personally never heard of the moderators of a live televised debate getting booed, but this was some severe hostility.

Maybe this is the game changer. People may just be getting it.

I am a PA Obama supporter who is cautiously confident that Barack will be the nominee. It is also possible that this campaign may get dirty one more time before April 22. I myself have developed a good bit of hostility for the same woman who I would've gladly voted for just two years back. That said, this race has been overall devastating for Clinton and her supporters.

After a Clinton loss, supporters will be depressed. If we chose to, we could revel in our victory. Taunt and tease their choice of candidates, the candidate they've respected and supported for many years. We can use our words to somehow evoke a sense of fairness after what we feel to be a campaign of unfair attacks on our candidate. But if we do that, not only will be be alienating the very people we need the support of, but we will also be disregarding the credo of the very campaign we support.

I was a PA independent until a few days ago. I registered as a Democrat to vote for Obama in the primary because I know that we need a Democrat in the White House. They are the only ones willing to get us out of Iraq and the deck will have to be unstacked after Bush leaves office. Now, I consider myself very liberal on social issues while conservative leaning on fiscal issues. I know...Conservative leaning...what am I doing here? Well, take it for what its worth, but I think its for the better of my new party.

The Democrats have done a terrible job of justifying a progressive tax scale. If you asked me if I thought we should raise taxes, I'd say "Damn No!" If you asked me if I supported progressive taxes, I would be much more inclined to say yes. This is more of a framing issue, but the Republicans are great at framing. There would be no better argument then to say "Those who have benefited from our country's success, must assist those who have not yet succeeded." Doesn't roll of the tongue, huh? But wait, lets revert to the keyword "Progressive tax".

Before I begin this diary I should say that after watching the race speech in its entirety, It is clear to me that Barack Obama doesn't share the controversial views of Jeremiah Wright, and has thoroughly rejected them.

That said, one of the common arguments I'm hearing from Clinton and McCain supporters is that electing Obama would be putting the mindset of Jeremiah Wright/Louis Farrakhan in the white house. The truth is that Obama would do more to alienate the Wright/Farrakhan ideology then it would to advance it.

If Obama gets elected, then even Louis Farrakhan will have to recognize that America can elect a black man as president. All of a sudden, all of those people who believed this ideology will see something that contradicts all they've known. If a black man can be elected president then all of a sudden, an ideology of hate will be alienated and an ideology of hope advanced.
