Josh Marshall / Talking Points Memo:
MY TAKE ON THE DEM DEBATE  —  So, a few observations about the Democratic debate.  —  First, a few months ago, I said that I didn't get what Barack Obama thought he was doing in one of the debates, that he was doing a very good job debating as the frontrunner, when in fact he was falling further and further behind Hillary Clinton.
Discussion: Outside The Beltway

New York Times:
At Debate, Two Rivals Go After Defiant Clinton  —  MANCHESTER, N.H. — It was as if they sensed vulnerability.  —  Senator Barack Obama and John Edwards went after Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton as never before in a televised debate here on Saturday night.
Jennifer Parker / Political Punch:
Hillary's Debate Moment  —  It won't come across on the transcript, but Sen. Hillary Clinton got angry during the debate tonight.  —  She was bickering with Sen. Barack Obama about their differences on health insurance, and whether Obama's plan leaves millions of Americans uninsured.
Greg Sargent / TPM Election Central:
Dem Debate Roundup: Work Horse Versus Show Horse  —  A quick rundown on last night's Dem debate highlights...  Here's the moment that came as close as possible to capturing, in a brief exchange, the entire argument between Hillary and Obama: … Hoping to highlight this disagreement …

George McGovern / Washington Post:
Why I Believe Bush Must Go  —  Nixon Was Bad.  These Guys Are Worse.  —  As we enter the eighth year of the Bush-Cheney administration, I have belatedly and painfully concluded that the only honorable course for me is to urge the impeachment of the president and the vice president.
Hugh Hewitt / Townhall.com:
“I Thought That Mitt Romney Won The debate.”  —  Dick Morris is no friend of Mitt Romney, and his declaration of Romney as the “winner” tonight is the assessment that caught my eye.  That's called “an admission against interest,” and it is very significant.  I think I know why.

Discussion: TPM Election Central
The Corner:
McCain and the Debate  —  The more I thought about it last night, the less well his performance sat with me.  I think he won as a political matter and now would be surprised if he doesn't win handily in New Hampshire.  But he was nasty toward Romney, letting his hatred—and I used that word advisedly—show.
Bryan / Hot Air:
GOP debate videos: Fred defines amnesty; Huck chucks on the surge; a face in the crowd  —  A man of few words, Fred Thompson, but the few words he does uses, he uses well.  Here he whacks at both John McCain and Rudy Giuliani for their illegal immigration policies.
