More Dem Debate Reax

August 8, 2007 | 8:59 AM

Hotline On Call offers additional debate reactions:

MSNBC's Chris Matthews: "It was not an NFL football game, but it was pretty close." On Obama: "He definitely had home field advantage. ... He was like a Judo master, kind of. The harder they came at him, he seemed to twist it and turn it. He would have made a million dollars."

NBC's Chuck Todd: "Clinton found out she had allies tonight in Dodd and Biden, and I think the fact we're seeing these candidates pair up and you almost wonder, is this a transitional moment where you are going to see folks starting side with Clinton because they think maybe they smell a winner."

Ex-White House adviser David Gergen: "The big question tonight is did John Edwards make a lot of headway with the labor unions? He was there tonight to try to get labor union endorsements in the next few weeks."

Pat Buchanan: "There's a little man there, Kucinich, who did extraordinarily well. He was clear, tough on NAFTA. He had the audience cheering. He was humorous. He was upbeat."
