"...I simply feel that last night, she proved she could command a room and provide a solid blueprint of how she would ram things down congress throat."

"I don't think anyones opinion was changed here.. the people on the fence are still on the fence.
she was a stronger, though.
I didn't think she was uncharismatic as the above poster mentiones. They both came off as likeable, she is just more polished in this arena."
