I think this is the direction future debates should be based upon. Even though it was more of the same I just fell in love with with the round table atmosphere. Good to see what the evolution of 'debates' might be.
After seeing the nth debate I feel that people will vote more on feeling than issues/experience. To me, all the candidates in their respective parties are the same except for the way they act. I see very little disagreement on issues and if there is any it's very minuet. It also seems that people, this is only two states though, are latching onto the 'change' propaganda which all the Dems and Ron Paul are using. If the trend of the states voting more for the Dems keeps up I'll bet we'll have a Dem president. None of the Rep, besides Paul who's still polling low, really has any change a part of their platform. Change as in the White House politics anyway.
Assuming the trend does keep up I predict a McCain (or Paul if Rep don't wake up) v. the Dems (which are still too close to call imo) with the Dem winning against McCain or most likely winning against, hopeful, Paul.
As to the debate 'winners'

IMO Obama won it. Even though he was stuttering like a b1tch.
I completely disagree. Obama was tired over the work he's been doing and it showed. After hearing good things about his victory speech I was very underwhelmed by his performance. Like I said above, there aren't many things differentiating candidates and Obama's strong point, charisma, didn't get to me.
I felt Edwards took the floor for the Dems. He had a lot of passion, talked about change, and a couple of strats. I also thought Richardson did fairly well considering I knew nothing about his positions. He did reiterate his record too much though.
For the Rep I have to go for the lite of the night. All the candidates seemed to argue and were very serious except Thompson. He's usually an uptight dick but last night was very lively and humorous. I don't like him because he's another warmonger like Rudy but he had an "I don't care" tude. Humor ftw. Lastly, it's always nice when Paul gets his crazy liberty ideas out even though he did ramble on like he does sometimes.
