Kwa kusema kweli mi nafurahi Obama anapata challenge kubwa katika debate. What doesn't kill you makes you strong! This debate made Obama stronger kwa sababu recently alikuwa anaanza kuonekana kama 'wimp' ambaye anawaogopa akina Clinton! I think that the fact that for the second part of the CNN debate, ma man Barack aliweza kuleta humour several times came down very well! I mean alijoke about Bill being 'Black' kwa kusema lazima acheki dancing yake! I like that! Maswali ya kipuuzi unayajibu with humour. Lakini HIllary aliendelea kuoneana kama robot.
Cha ajabu also Hillary alizomewa! Sijawahi kuona! That is bad news for Hillary!
Sometimes last week alikuwa booed as well alikuwa anazungumzia mambo ya MLK unfortunately post yenye hiyo clip nayo ilikumbwa na ufisadi wa kufutwa.
I thought line ya Obama sometimes not being able to tell which Clinton he's running against was classic. Ila hii bickering yao itawacost wasipoangalia.
Alafu Shirley Franklin naona kampiga dongo Bill Clinton kiaina.
With former President Bill Clinton standing not 20 feet in front of her, Atlanta mayor Shirley Franklin took what appeared to be a political shot at the former president's comments about Barack Obama's candidacy.
Speaking at the 40th annual MLK commemorative service at Ebenezer Baptist Church, Franklin said the country is on the "cusp of turning the impossible into reality. Yes this is reality, not fantasy or fairy tales."

thanks Icadon,naona Shirley Franklin kamshushua kweli Bill! Yaani naona ninakosa mambo mengi maana time difference inatuumiza kama debate hii ya leo ya CNN imetufanye tuamke 4 am hapa Bongo kufaidi debate.
Kuhusu west, mi nadhani Obama will continue to do well, kwa sababu leo inaonekana aliweza kuongea vizuri alipoulizwa kuhusu race, alisema he is for issues that cuts across.
BIckering ya Clinton na Obama can go anyway now, but let me tell you, I had an epiphany and I feel that the brother has exceptional advisors, who are good strategists.
Obama can afford to be confrontational at this stage and he actually had to be because:
- he was irritating young AA who felt that he was taking on the servitude attitude with the Clintons. Remember during slavery and later during the struggle, a white kid anamtukana a Black grown man na he had to say 'Yessir!" So many AAs (especially young) feel that they have earned the right at the table and don't need to be 'nice and civil' while whites get nasty.
- South Carolina is very important for Obama campaign and he needs a win in order to get momentum going to Super Tuesday, so by 'keeping it real with the brothers and sisters' he is winning them over. He can afford to be confrontational now as he will get more support NOW.
- Hillary may just as well loose from this bickering and in the second part of the debate, Obama made a point that he was under attack 'because I am ahead'. And he was full of humour and very generous hivyo kufuta impressions zote negative.
CNN's poll of undecided Democrat voters who were monitoring the debate shows that a large number said that Edwards won the debate by staying above petty politics but more than half of them said that they will vote for Obama because he is electable and represents more closely what they beleive in.

Hiyo ya kuzomewa mbona ilitegemewa....that was a partisan crowd anyways...and it doesn't reflect or represent everything....the sponsors of the debate were the CBC...the majority in the audience were blacks...so what did you expect? ...and even still Hillary received a lot of applause

Sasa inakuwaje Obama kashindwa NH na NV wakati kura za maoni zilionyehsa kuwa anaongoza kwa duble digits? Hata ile union iliyom-endorse Obama haikusaidia kuleta ushindi which supports the theory that endorsements don't bring votes
Nyani Ngabu, first let's get things straight,
Obama won MORE delegates in Nevada and equal delegates in New Hampshire - he lost by less than double digit margins. In NH it was 3% points in NV 6% points. Overall Obama has more delegates than Hillary (38 vs 37)
A month ago he was double digits behind Hillary.
Obama campaign is doing an excellent job to shore up support as it is his first run for presidentcy. Hillary has the entire Clinton machinery behind her, set up decades ago.
Saying that the crowd was partisan because they were Black is offending to every Black! This had nothing to do with race! She's a democrat. They were Democrat congressionals. And she brags with hubby Bill that they have so much endorsement from Black 'leaders' so where was that support?
Sikatai kwamba HIllary alipewa applause but sijawahi kuona debate ambapo front runner anazomewa NEVER!
It is bad news.

Nyani Ngabu sielewi unawezaje kumshabikia Hillary! Seriously? Au ndiyo hiyo 'upande wa 2 wa shilingi?"
Hillary kesi yangu si kwamba ni white or that she's a woman, but that she's a Clinton. Yeye na mume wake as a team have a record, also she has a record for being divisive.
I also feel that riding on the coattails of your hubby is wrong! You actually do not prove that you are a strong independent woman but dependant on your hubby. Kheri hata Condi Rice (Republican) au Madeleine Albright (Democrat) wangekuwa candidate! That would be interesting but not Hillary! That 35 years expereince anayozungumzia ni ya kuwa First Lady of the Arkansas state and First Lady of the country. But that means being a cherry on the cake not the Chef!
Bill looks like he is running for his third term, which I am sorry I have enough. I have enough of his cronies akina Andy Young who come to Tanzania to make SUllivan Summit na to rob us blind!
No more Clintons! Wakapumzike, mama aendele na usemata, mzee aendeleze library yake - Good night and Good luck Hilly-Billy!

Mzee unasahau kwamba huyu Hillary yuko kwenye senate 6 yrs now.. na amekuwa active senator!
Tuache upendeleo na dharau.. Hillary ana-make sense kwenye hoja zake kuliko Obama!
Wengi tunamshabikia Obama sababu ni First-serious Black Presidential candidate.. lakini si kwa mpangilio wa hoja zake!
Natabiri majimbo mawili zaidi kwa Obama.. South Carolina na Illinois.. yaliyobakia feb 5 atanyoosha mikono na story itabadilika.. kama pundits wa kimarekani walivyobadili story baada ya matokeo ya New Hampshire!
I loved the wal-mart attack against Hillary...........she went deaf for a minute, it was like a paralyzing "shock and awe" from nowhere in the middle of a quite night!!!.
Halafu oooooooh...........ngoja nichicheme!!! Go Obama.

Brutus, mimi simdharau Hillary, lakini hiyo ya kusema 35 years of experience kachemka.
She has only 6 years experience in elected office while Obama has 11 years. Hiyo ya kuwa First Lady asingezihesabu!
Kuhusu kupangilia hoja, I disagree but it is subjective.
Mimi ninachosema ni kwamba Hillary is hostage to special interest groups and lobbyists, and she does a lot of mudslinging.
FYI Brutus, HIlly-Billy or BIllary wamepewa onyo na several prominent Black leaders waache kumpakazia Obama. The Clintons cannot afford to loose the Black votes.
Hiyo kuhusu Super tuesday, mi sitaki kutabiri maana it will be a close race, sivyo kama unavyofikiri.
Also naomba ujibu hoja hiyo ya delegate maana umei-sidestep because remember, hapa kuna strategy nyingi za kuconsider siyo popular vote only!
