Obama was largely on the defensive for the debate’s entirety. It’s a role he’s unaccustomed to, and at times he looked shaky and off his game — especially on the health care debate when both Hillary Clinton and John Edwards hammered him on not mandating coverage for everybody.

But he ended on a high note on one of his key issues: Iraq. He brought home the costs in a much more effective way than the other two candidates.

Clinton looked strong on health care — she made clear she’s been through the fight before, and spoke authoritatively on how to healthcare passed. But her early squabbles with Obama may have turned viewers off immediately. It’s unclear if she was able to win them back.

Edwards was strong throughout, though he’s still struggling to be heard over Clinton and Obama. He appeared to take the high road when both of them got bogged down in petty back and forth, and seemed to successfully sharpen his differences with Obama. Viewers will likely give him a second look.
